I hired Brian to entertain at my wife's surprise 60th birthday party at our home. Brian was very flexible and helpful in finding the right music plan for the occasion. Brian played keyboards while his partner Mike played guitar and sang. Their music was excellent and my wife was very pleasantly surprised. Especially when they sang one of her favorite Elvis Costello songs and it even got our 2 year old grandson up to dance with Grammy. Would definitely recommend Brian and team.

Details: Birthday party • 51 - 75 guests • 51 or older • 31 - 50 years old • Vocals • Guitar • No preference • Pop / top 40 • Rock / classic rock • Jazz / Blues • Outdoors

I reached out to Brian for a last minute event that I was having and he responded right away and was very professional and easy to work with. He's a very talented musician and my group was extremely happy with the entertainment. I would definitely use him again. He seems to have a great network of musicians that he works with so would definitely recommend for small and large events.

I had several interactions with Brian by email and phone in order to set up remote piano lessons. While I ended up not being able to start the lessons (due to circumstances on my end), I was extremely impressed with Brian's efforts to get me started - he was proactive and willing to do whatever necessary to accommodate my needs. His commitment to me (not even a student yet!) was clear and I would not hesitate to contact him in the future if my situation changed. Highly recommended!

Details: 65 years or older • Yes, the student can read music • 4+ yrs of formal training • Jazz • Yes, the student has a keyboard • 45 minutes • Remotely (phone or internet)
