"Ned Landin is the consummate professional performer whose skills have been honed in some of the top truly public performance venues across the country. From Cambridge to Santa Monica ( and all points in between) Ned has entertained delighted audiences with great music and great humor. And his math ain't half bad either. I had the pleasure of working with Ned for over 10 years in Santa Monica and would recommend him for any event!"

"Not only is he one of our best performers, Ned Landin is a practical visionary who brought his years of street performing experience in North America and Europe to bear in Santa Monica, to solve what was a previously vexing problem regarding how street performers were allowed to present their artistic expressions on Santa Monica's world famous Third Street Promenade.
Ned participated fully in a multi-stakeholder process that brought together performers, staff from the city attorney's office, the fire and police department, representatives of the local business community and the non-profit organization the city funds to oversee the Promenade and surrounding area.
Ned's patient, thoughtful and creative approach helped bring the group to a solution that allowed performers to share the highly valued performance spaces on the promenade in a fair way.
All of those who enjoy the Promenade owe Ned a debt of gratitude, because the presence of the street performers there is one of the things that makes it special and unique, and Ned's work is a major reason why the performers continue to exist and thrive there to this day."
