April 18, 2024Exceptional Pianist
We had the pleasure of Eric performing regularly at our Resort.
Eric is an exceptional pianist, a true entertainer! He not only is talented as a pianist but very personable. He interacts with guests, encouraging them to sing along to his vast repertoire of songs. Eric easily draws a crowd around the piano requesting their favorite tunes.
We highly recommend Eric and hope to have him return again for future events.

April 8, 2024What A Gifted Performer!
Where to begin?! Eric is an exceptional person and piano player. I've had the opportunity of watching him perform for countless hours. Eric was the regular entertainment at my fine dining establishment, where he delighted our guests with his talents 100+ times per year. Not enough can be said about his professionalism and his willingness to entertain! Our regular patrons would always inquire when making reservations "Is Eric playing that night? Can we reserve the booth nearest the piano?"
His ability to play nearly any requested song always dazzled those who inquired. Watching him perform, always smiling and very approachable it's obvious playing is his pleasure.
Always reliable and a consummate professional I would recommend Eric to anyone for their event!
