WHAT PEOPLE SAY
“Mr. Clayton performed at a clambake for a private residence in Boston’s Downtown Crossing. Each and every resident was not only impressed, but had nothing but positive remarks for his performance. He entertained approximately 75 residents for 4 hours and sounded incredible for the duration of his performance. I will certainly be reaching out to him for another performance in the near future.”
