Amazing

Michael plays about once a month for the residents at Westminster St A. It's amazing how he can take 3-4 requests from the audience and blend them together. Played Billy Joel Angry Young Man as well as Billy.

Magical Night

Michael’s music for our rehearsal dinner made our night, magical. He was attentive to the flow of the evening and was continuously providing music our guests enjoyed. He was responsive to all my inquiries and I would definitely use his services again. And, after all the guests had left except for our core group of friends, he most graciously played ‘White Wedding’ for our ending song/dance. It was perfection!

Incredible evening

Michael was the ultimate entertainer for our party. He played the piano during the dinner portion of our event with great talent while being respectful of people wishing to chat. Then after dinner provided a fun game for all ages to play followed by a sing a long. Michael can play a wide range of music sure to delight any age group. Highly recommend!
