"Your professionalism was top-notch and showed in the quality of your performance"
Firstly, I would like to congratulate you on your excellent performance at the Tank in New York, Manhattan
Without question, Lincoln enriched this evening for our patrons and added to the beautiful ambience created. The best endorsement of your performance, however, is the fact that many of those attending the event would have danced on until sunrise if given the opportunity. Best wishes for your performing career and we hope to see you all again in the future.
Lincoln’s production aligned perfectly with our mission and goals

The production brought together over a dozen diverse artists and performers, and it was a great success. We were highly impressed with Lincoln's commitment, vision and drive to bring together such a wonderful group of musical artists spanning multiple genres to promote and celebrate black cultural achievement in our city.
It was great to see the smiles, clapping and dancing. You really delivered.
