I heard Bitsyland play at the Sandy Springs Heritage Farmer's Market. They had such a great vibe and my toddler couldn't stop dancing to their music. I contacted Edwin Hall to see if they could play for a grand opening celebration for my business, Peachtree Hearing. Edwin was so accommodating and made the planning very easy. The day of our party, Bitsyland played fantastic music and interacted with our guests. They encouraged and indulged our "tiny dancers" and we so appreciate how wonderful and family friendly they were! Everyone had a fabulous time and is still raving about the band! We are so thrilled with their performance and very happy to have featured them at our party.
