	"Leeny and Tamara's performance and interaction with the kids was very lively and engaging. By the end of the night even the shy kids were singing into a microphone and dancing up a storm. It was the best family fundraising event in the school's history!" -- Lisa Wheeler, Planner/Host, Private School Family Fireworks Fundraiser Event, MA "Leeny and Tamara are captivating performers, who fully engage and entertain their audience. Their music is upbeat and catchy. CMA's families had a ton of fun!" -- Claire Marcus, General Programs Manager, Children's Museum of the Arts, NYC
	"Leeny and Tamara performed to a packed house at my music center. Every bit of the show was fantastic and completely interactive for both adults and kids. Everyone had a great time, singing along and laughing out loud, and the kids even came up on stage to be rock stars! Leeny and Tamara are as polished and professional in a live setting as they are on their CD, and they interact brilliantly. We were thrilled beyond words, and hope they'll come back sometime soon!" -- Christy Zarlengo, Director, Children's Music Center of Jamaica Plain, MA
	"Leeny and Tamara continue to impress us. Their performances are rock solid, not only FUN FOR ALL, but educational at the same time! Keep up the great work and THANK YOU!!" -- Bradley Atkinson, Co-Owner, The Farm Bar & Grille, Essex, MA
	"Leeny and Tamara put on a really fun show. They were engaging and spoke directly to the kids in the audience, even letting them on stage to talk or sing into the microphone. This was an involved show where you couldn't tell where the performance ended and the audience began. Kids learned about ladybugs, sharing, or the epidermis. Leeny and Tamara have a way of making lessons fun, and that's the best way for kids to learn and retain new information!" -- Amber Bobnar, BostonChildrensMusic.com, Review of our Arlington Heights Nursery School fundraising concert
