Anniversary Party•Reviewed on May 26, 2007•From Lincoln, RI
We hired John to play at a 50th anniversary party. We had a list of songs that we knew the couple liked, and he said he could play them and many other similar songs. He arrived a bit early to set up his keyboard (the place we were at did not have a piano) and was playing as guests arrived. We had asked that he play quiet background music. He did just this. After the meal it seemed that the guests were ready for something a bit more, and he slowly included more up-beat lively music. At one point some guests started to hum or sing softly and he passed out lyric books! It was wonderful - one song after another that the "older folks" knew and loved and they could sing along.
Everyone had a grand time. It would not have been the same without John - he made the evening flow and come together. When he evening was over and we were handing him back the lyric books he said the anniversary couple could keep them - they were so tickled; I strongly believe that was their best present of the night!
By the way, the songs he played were perfect - the older folks said they recognized every one of them!
We definitely would hire John again for any sort of occasion and do not hesitate in the least to recommend him.

John was a pleasure to work with. Very accomodating, punctual, flexible to the situation. He played for my parent's 50th wedding anniversary and made the evening all the more special for them and their guests.

John was a most delightful addition to my Aunt Fran's 100th birthday party. I live in California and the party was in Boston, so I was doing all the planning from a distance. Once I selected John, he kept in contact with me to discuss every detail.He accommodated every wish and added the right touch to the party. I would recommend him highly to anyone wishing to make their event memorable. He was there in plenty of time,played beautifully and his appearance in his tuxedo was another touch that went above and beyond my expectations.

Both John and his singer were fantastic!! They were such a hit that we asked them to extend another 1 1/2 hours, since my 90 year old mother was dancing up a storm and thoroughly enjoying her birthday, along with 50 guests. They played all our requests and really got the audience going. We would definitely hire John and his singer for another gig in the future.

John was awesome, I really enjoyed his piano playing and so didn't the other 100 guests. I would highly recommend John for any event. He worked so hard, we were amazed at his talent and his work ethic.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on November 16, 2009•From Dedham, MA
John asked me if he could bring along a singer with him and I said sure. Unfortunately, they had not practiced any of the songs in the songbook I created - and so were not in tune with each other. He was an excellent piano player - and she was a good singer - but they weren't that good together. Overall it wasn't great.
