V MUSIC CONNECTION is a partnership between Michael and Jen Vander Meer.
The concept is not new but for us we were inspired to go into business naturally following many calls for musician referrals and after performing at various functions. We excel at finding the most appropriate music for events ensuring lasting memories.
Vision
Nothing beats quality live music for event entertainment!!
We would like to see the local community awake to the talent
we have among us.
