October 20, 2026Eric was exceptional! He exceeds expectations!
Working with Eric was wonderful! He played his strolling accordion and entertained our Octoberfest crowd at our venue. He not only made every one get into the spirit of Octoberfest with his incredible playing, but he also brought such a kind and compassionate energy! I would highly recommend him to anyone. We will be hiring him again!

September 10, 2026The Perfect Touch to Our Anniversary Dinner
Eric was absolutely wonderful! He performed during our intimate anniversary dinner for just the two of us, and his music truly made the evening feel incredibly special and romantic. His piano playing was beautiful and elegant and created the perfect atmosphere for our celebration.
Toward the end of the evening, he even switched things up and played the accordion for a little while, which was such a fun and unexpected twist! It added a playful energy to the night and made the experience even more memorable.
Eric was professional, personable, incredibly talented, and an absolute pleasure to have as part of such a special evening. We are so happy we chose him and would absolutely recommend him to anyone wanting to add something truly special to an intimate dinner, anniversary, wedding, or celebration.
Thank you, Eric, for helping make our anniversary dinner a night we’ll always remember! ❤️🎹🪗

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!
