Please remember that asking for phone references for an entertainer will be an invasion of privacy of their previous clients. Artists are asked many times a day for such references.
No one wants to receive hundreds of phone calls a year from the potential customers of someone they hired for a one day event. Would you want this burden after hiring an entertainer? Most artists do have letters of recommendation or testimonials on their websites that protect the identity of those who were kind enough to have written a thank you.
