Swingin’ night with the awesome Piano Man Dan!
We hired Dan for a 1920s-themed murder mystery party. He was amazing! A great pianist and consummate professional — definitely made sure the evening was fun and filled with lively music and ambiance. We asked him to stay an extra hour since we were enjoying his playing so much. He was super sweet and dedicated to making the event as fun as possible for us. We ended up finishing the evening singing some favorites around the piano while he played, which was absolutely lovely.
