I had the absolute pleasure of working with the incredibly talented keyboardist and soloist, Karey Nickel, for a small private party held at the enchanting Château du Sureau, in Oakhurst, CA. From start to finish, Karey's professionalism and musical prowess were superb.
Karey arrived early to set up his equipment, displaying a genuine commitment to his craft and ensuring everything was in perfect order. His easygoing nature and friendly demeanor immediately put us at ease, making the coordination process smooth and enjoyable. It's always a joy to work with someone who brings such positivity to every interaction.
Once the party began, Karey took the stage and captivated the audience with his extraordinary talent. His performances of pop and rock hits from various decades were nothing short of mesmerizing. Each note he played resonated through the Château, creating an unforgettable atmosphere that elevated the entire event.
What truly impressed us was Karey's dedication to making the performance memorable for our guests. He went above and beyond by learning some new requests specifically for this event, showcasing his versatility and adaptability as a musician. The smiles, laughter, and dancing from our guests were a testament to his ability to connect with the audience and create an incredibly joyful ambiance.
Without a doubt, I highly recommend Karey Nickel to anyone seeking a keyboardist and soloist who will exceed expectations. His exceptional talent, professionalism, and genuine enthusiasm make him an outstanding choice for any occasion. We feel fortunate to have had Karey grace our event, and I can confidently say that he contributed greatly to the success and enjoyment of the evening.

So many great things to say about Karey Nickel! I manage two different locations where we both do live music! Papa’s Place and On the Edge Coffee in Old Town Clovis. Karey is one of our absolute favorites. His music is always amazing, he engages with the crowd and they love singing along to his songs, love that he takes requests and our guests are always getting up to dance! Karey always gets up and talks with the guests during breaks. He is also just a wonderful person and we are lucky to have the pleasure to work with him! We definitely recommend Karey! 😊

We hired Karey to preform for our Wine Club members at San Joaquin Winery. Not only did he sound amazing, his song selection was spot on and he was so personable with our members. I would recommend him for any occasion!
