I would give Kelly more stars if I could. He was outstanding. We had a wine and cheese party and asked him to play some pop, classical and oldies. He showed up early for set up and brought a mic for people to sing along. I have never had so many compliments on our party. Everyone loved making requests from his specially made songbook and singing along. Kelly knows a wide range of songs and is an excellent player. I am going to hire him again and give him my highest recommendation. I am not surprised he plays for some of the classiest and fun bars in SF.

Kelly did so well at our wedding reception. He played classical, 90s and some slow jazz. Our guests really enjoyed their cocktail hour serenaded by live music. Thanks again Kelly!!

Kelly Key's was a wonderful addition to our Diversity Potluck! He arrived super early to allow set up time. He had all his own equipment and even a song request booklet! At the start we had to ask him to lower the sound (because we still had people working) which he obliged and was professional about it. If we need another pianist/keyboard guy I will certainly hire him again!

Mr. Kelly, He's patient, we've been trying to get into the zooming, but I have some trouble in opening it, Mr. Kelly is pleasant to talk to, prompting, to the piano lesson. I wish i could continue with the piano lesson with him now, but too busy with work.
