November 11, 2024Talented, Professional, Joy to Work With!
Jim brought the atmosphere to our rehearsal dinner, playing all the tunes that resonated with a multi-generational gathering. He never over-shadowed the event, but surely added an extra sparkle to a beautiful night. Jim was so easy to work with -- a great communicator, eager to please, and super talented. We can't recommend him more highly.

I can't thank Christine enough for this kind review! She and her daughter communicated their specific vision for a wedding rehearsal dinner at the "five star" historic Hamilton Club of Lancaster, PA. I had a perfectly tuned Samick baby grand piano to play, a roomful of loving family and friends toasting the future wedding couple, and impeccable service from the Hamilton Club staff catering to all our needs. It was my first time playing there and the venue and Christine's party made it forever memorable. 😃🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹

Brady and Sarah thank you so much for such a kind review. The entire evening at the Barristers Club in Allentown PA was a joy..my long time friend Karen was in charge of the event and she and her staff accommodated all of us with an incredibly delicious buffet and impeccable service. Though I was the entertainer I was treated by staff and wedding guests and bride and groom like I was part of the celebration which was both simple and elegant at the same time. Beautiful experience celebrating a wonderful young couple who I wish all the best to!

About
A native of the Logan/Olney section of Philadelphia(near LaSalle University), Jim resided in Green Lane, PA since the '70's, moving 5 years ago to Catasauqua PA. Gifted with a great ear for music, he took piano lessons for seven years from age 6 to 13--yet plays by ear primarily. He was in his first rock band at age 15, played several lead roles in high schools plays and musicals(Nathan Detroit in "Guys & Dolls", Henry Drummond in "Inherit the Wind" and Jesus in Stephen Schwartz' "Godspell"). After two years as a Theatre & Speech major at what is now known as DeSales University, Jim was hired at WAEB radio in Allentown at age 20 to do news/weather reports in 1981. After 5 months there he did a one-year stint as disc jockey for rock station WZZO(Z-95), then headquartered in Bethlehem PA(met Joan Jett twice, Ozzy Osbourne, Kansas, Mike Reno of Loverboy, ZZTop, Johnny Van Zant Band). The band "Vagabond" then tapped him as their keyboardist for a year in 1983 and they played the Lehigh Valley and New Jersey extensively, opening once for the Hooters. From 1984 to 1987 Jim did 5 major productions for Richard Akins Productions as an actor--playing Jesus in "Jesus Christ Superstar", Magaldi in "EVITA" and more. In 1986 Jim began his foray into the piano/bar/restaurant world which he continues to this present day. And now some highlights:
Jim Loftus Has Opened For Regis Philbin (State Theatre in Easton,PA--Jan.1992);written an original rock opera musical "GHOSTS ON BROADWAY" which played NYC's John Houseman Theatre in May 1995(attended by Grammy and Oscar-award winning composer Stephen Schwartz. [Jim is currently working on bringing the show back to NYC in a bigger production]; he played tribute dinner functions at the Plaza Hotel,NYC for the late Rosetta Lenoire and Douglas Fairbanks, JR. (April 1996),also the late Milton Berle (Oct.1996--Waldorf-Astoria Hotel)and Julie Andrews (Feb.1997--21 Club); Jim and his trio Three Together opened for Todd Rundgren at Crocodile Rock,Allentown, PA(Oct.2001). He's done TV and film extra work in Philadelphia and NYC. The CBS show "HACK"(5 episodes) earned him his SAG card in 2003(now "SAG/AFTRA"). Jim has worked on 15 episodes of "Law & Order:SVU"--his first one as featured jury member in "Strain"(Oct.2005) being his most featured.
Jim released an original 14 track CD in Sept.2000 entitled "The Fame Game" available digitally on CDBaby, iTunes and can be heard on Spotify, YouTube and more.
Jim currently works with a trio "Vinyl Persuasion" which features 3 part harmony classic pop/rock gems from the '60's/'70's/early '80's--the "vinyl record era" and can be found on Facebook. He also plays with "The '60's Boy's"(formerly "The Mudflaps" for a few decades)doing late '50's/'60's/early '70's classic pop rock gems, sometimes with a 4 piece horn section--playing mostly festivals and grand events. And of course Jim does a great deal of solo work as a pianist/vocalist/keyboardist AND organist for public and private events including senior residences/country clubs/wedding ceremonies and receptions/cocktail hours/restaurants and certainly house parties.

Most Holy Rosary Church/Syracuse NY--Memorial Service
"This is the second time we have hired Jim to perform at a memorial service in Syracuse, NY. What we love about Jim are his talent and his flexibility. We had specific genre's of music we wanted for the service and he learned quite a bit of new music for each of them - and I think he does it all by ear! He has a tremendous voice and is a fantastic pianist. His voice filled the church and created a beautiful service for all to remember. Many thanks to Jim for his flexibility in working with us, and his willingness to make the trip to Syracuse!"

Northampton Valley Country Club Richboro PA/birthday party
"I hired Jim for a 90th Birthday party in the afternoon. Jim arrived early,set up and was playing when the guests arrived. He only took one break. I requested certain songs and he played all of them throughout the party. Was not loud and obtrusive so that you weren't able to talk. Entertaining. Would hire again."

Engagement Party
"We hired Jim for our sons engagement party. Jim was flexible and friendly when trying to coordinate the event. He got the audience engaged and before long got everyone singing. Having a pianist/vocalist at our party made it even more of a memorable event for us."

"Jim is talented, tells great "musical stories" in between songs, played requests and was overall a great entertainer. I certainly would use him again and again...."

Birthday Party/Private residence
"In show biz, early is on time and on time is late. Jim was there, set up and ready to go, AND PLAYING, by 3:50 for a 4:30 start time. Musicians can have egos and insecurity, and maybe they deserve to: "I have been playing piano everyday since I was 11 years old, and now I am being asked to work with amateurs?" Jim had the opposite attitude, enjoyed working with my family members in an entertaining tribute to my father, and even made all of our performances better. By 6, Jim was part of the family, celebrating with us. By 8, my aunts were approaching Jim, trying to get my cousins married off. He played and stayed later than 9:30. Just a perfect match. A++"

Engagement Party
"great guy-a pleasure to work with- definitely added a dimension to our party- was not an easy crowd because guests wandered all night to different rooms, but Jim was a great sport and continued playing to whoever wanted to listen.. My guests really enjoyed his music and his voice- would recommend him highly"

Private Party/Restaurant Albany NY
"I have nothing except the highest praise and regard for Jim Loftus. He is a delight to work with and every person at my event continues to remark about his entertainment and warm personality. As the hostess, I could not have been more pleased. His talent as a musician and singer combined with his graciousness to my guests (and as my guest) could not be matched by anyone else, I am convinced. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Jim, for the time of my life!"Jeanne Olson, September 26, 2014.

Wedding/Stroudsburg PA
"Working with Jim was great! We hired him about two weeks before our wedding and spoke with him about a week before and he was able to do everything that we wanted and more on the day of our wedding. He jumped from the organ to the piano in the church and he even sung during out candle lighting ceremony. He has a beautiful voice and adds a very special and personal touch to any job he does. We highly recommend Jim for your wedding or any special event. Thank you Jim!!!"

Adult Birthday Party/Restaurant
"Jim was perfect! He was so accommodating to all my needs. He was able to read the crowd and seemed to know exactly when to zig and when to zag! He is a great musician and mingled perfectly with all the guests, he accommodated all the requests and had to deal with a tiny space and loud crowd, All the guests commented on how much his talent and ability enhanced a great success for my husbands birthday surprise, he was very professional and dressed impeccably for the event. If you want to have a real Gem and talent to make your special occasion shine, I suggest you give Jim Loftus a call . He had a great voice and you will not be disappointed!"

Memorial Service/Bronx NY
"Jim was unbelievable. He an amazing singer and wonderful at both the piano and keyboard. Jim played at my sister's memorial service and at the reception. First he played the piano and sang beautiful hymns at her service; just heavenly. We hired him last minute, so he had to learn some songs in just two days--he played them beautifully. Then, we rocked to the beat at the reception; he was great at reading the crowd. His song selection was perfect. He had us all up and dancing; my sister would have loved that. If you want a perfect event, I will say, don't think twice, hire Jim. He is nice, accommodating, easy to work with, and an amazing talent."

Testimonials
Jim was great! He played at my 40th b-day party and took the time to learn some really bad and cheezy 1-hit wonders (circa 1970) that really made us laugh! He stayed and played until the end of the party (3:00 AM!) and had every one up, dancing, and singing. It was a great night. Everyone had a super time, in large part due to Jim! --Carolyn I. K. Newtown, PA 8/11/2006

Getting anything unknown over the internet can be scary, but that was how we chose Jim, sight and sound unseen. We were so pleasantly surprised and pleased by his performance and professionalism that I would definitely recommend him. Better yet, everyone who attended our wedding only had great things to say about him. He really helped make our wedding memorable Jan Most --Jan L. Oakdale, NY 9/8/2006

Jim played for our wedding ceremony 9/23/06 and we were so pleased with his performance, his willingness to accomodate our special requests and his professionalism. Any song we requested, if Jim was not familiar with it, he learned it for us. One of the most impressive aspects of our event was that Jim was accompanied by a trumpet player and went out of his way to rehearse with the trumpet player weeks before the wedding to ensure the music would be perfect. We would highly recommend Jim ... my husband bad I, along with our guests are still singing his praises. Anne and Vince --Anne N. Pottsville, PA 9/23/2006

Jim Loftus was outstanding. I am a retired musician in a family of music professionals. We were all very impressed with Jim's talent and knowledge. His presence made our party a resounding success! I would strongly reccomend him to anyone needing a professional who is able to adapt to any setting and play nearly any music. Thanks Jim! --Jack S. Dallas, PA 9/29/2006

We invited Jim for our annual Christmas party with friends in our home. He did an absolutely incredible job! He was very communicative throughout the pre-event process. He asked about our event, including the desired music, necessary equipment, audience, etc. He showed-up well ahead of time and was prepared for the event. We found him to be both very professional and very personable - he totally hit it off with our guests. In terms of performance, Jim blew our socks off! There was not one song requested that he didn't know how to play--everything from holiday standards to rock, to ballads to a few country songs. Jim had fun singing with and helping the kids sing their songs and he encouraged adults to join in. Jim's skills as both a piano player and vocalist were well beyond expectations. Simply put, he did a PHENOMENAL job! He's incredibly talented and we can promise you an awesome experience. We couldn't have asked for a better entertainer & we had many, many guests call us the next day to say how much Jim really made the party a fun event. Jim, we will have you back again! You were just great! Cheers! Tom & Jill Lennox Manalapan, NJ --Tom L. Manalapan, NJ 12/27/2006

An amazing pianist & vocalist! OUTSTANDING! Arrived early, played perfectly, entertained wonderfully, dressed professionally, and was just PERFECT!! I would use Jim again in a heartbeat and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM for ANY event! --Alicia B. Bensalem, PA 2/17/2007
– Alicia B.(bride)
PHENOMENAL PERFORMANCE!!! OUTSTANDING! One of the best pianist and vocalist of all time! Jim was very professional,warm, caring, accommodating, and friendly. We felt like he was part of our family. He wanted to please us and our guests from the very beginning to the very end of our fabulous Birthday Party....and he certainly made the party a GRAND SUCCESS! His Broadway medleys sent chills through us. He put his whole being into his performance. He has a magnificent voice range. Putting the voice with his theatrics of his Broadway medleys mesmerized the crowd. Our Hearts were touched by the feeling he put into every one of his songs! He has an unabounding amount of energy and warmth that reaches out and touches your soul. He stayed way into the wee hours....until the end of our party! Fabulous time was had by everyone....we received calls the next day from some of our guests raving about Jim's entertainment. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND Jim for any event! Thank you Jim from the bottom of our hearts! You made us all very happy. God Bless You! --Janet F. Middletown, DE 4/21/2007

Jim played at a party I held at my home that over 80 people attended last weekend. I had very specific ideas in mind for this party and I looked to Jim to help me acchieve those ideas. I had a list of about 90 songs that I had asked Jim to play that evening as the party was planned as a sing a long. Sort of like a dueling pianos bar type of atmospehere only one piano palyer. He learned every song and his keyboard kept each song to its original intergity. The evening was a huge success. Jim had every song down and was extremely flexible with moving songs around and editing on the spot as needed, when time started to run out. The compliments I received on the evening were due largely to Jim's ability to entertain the crowd, be flexible with them, be flexible with me, and provide a level of entertainment that made sure my guest left my home that evening feeling like they had the time of their lives. Thank you Jim. I would recommed Jim to anyone I know. --Edward M. Saddle Brook, NJ 4/28/2007

Jim played our cocktail hour at the Stroudsmoor Country Inn on May 19, 2007 and did a fantastic job. He played songs from a requestlist and other crowd pleasers. He took requests, playing the wedding song of another couple during the event to their delight. He was very professional and easy to get in touch leading up to and before the event. He was set up on time, and began playing promptly when guest arrived. Many people commented how his presence made the cocktail hour. I would highly recommend Jim for any function that you might have. Top notch performer, and he even plays The Who on piano! --Chris S. Stroudsburg, PA 5/19/2007
– Chris S.(groom)
We had a surprise birthday party with 60 friends and Jim was fanstastic. He arrived on time, played both the keyboard and acoustic guitar skillfully, and sang songs everyone knew and enjoyed. I had a baby grand piano that Jim also played while our guests were arriving. While everyone enjoyed his tremendous talent, his accomodating nature was the key to making the night a resounding success. Jim played for 5 hours with minimal breaks and handled every request with aplomb. My daughter and I are his biggest fans! Thank you Jim --Tom K. Blue Bell, PA 9/8/2007
– Tom K.
Jim was a professional in all respects. He called and emailed in advance to verify all arrangements and directions. He arrived early and set up in advance of our guests arriving, then he blew us away with his talent. We really heard everything from "Maria" to David Bowie. We had a mixed age group, from about 14 years old, to 70 or so and everyone enjoyed his music. Get him to do his "Phantom" medley... it will still the crowd. We do a lot of parties, and we have hired a number of professionals over the years. Jim is second to none. Pleasant, well dressed and groomed, and very interactive with my guests. Our highest possible recommendation! --Bob and Terry Bender Chalfont, PA 12/2/2007
– Bob Bender
Jim was fantastically professional. He communicates timely and efficiently. He arrived at the wedding and set up well ahead of schedule. He played for 5 hours straight and only contracted two 10 minute breaks. He learned and prepared 4 special request songs for us with only 2 weeks notice and did an amazing job on them. He has great ideas and suggestions. He was EXTREMELY honest and upfront with us on any questions that we had for him. He also agreed to do introductions at no extra cost for our wedding which was not included in the original agreement. His acoustic guitar and keyboard skills are top notch. We recommend him 100% for a wedding! -Melissa S, 3/1/2008, Wedding, Macungie, PA
