September 12, 2022Paul Hieser Rocks!
Paul rocked our reception! We absolutely loved his music. It was like a stroll down memory lane. Even our adult children enjoyed his mix. Paul was easy to work with and very accessible and accommodating. We appreciated his contact in advance of the event and would not hesitate to hire him again.

Thank you Connie! What a delightful event to perform at! Connie and her family put a lot of work into this wedding reception for their son and daughter in law. I was given a nice area to perform my set list of classic oldies. I was offered food and drink.
I hope to see you and your family again for your next event.

August 1, 2022Paul was truly amazing!
Paul was truly amazing! We had a very difficult and awkward gig at my father-in-law’s memorial service. Paul saved the day. I prepared him ahead of time, letting him know that things would be chaotic, and that the only thing the two of us would have control over were the three songs we worked on. Sure enough, it was very disorganized and there was a very strong personality we had to contend with. It could have been a disaster. However, Paul was a trooper. He handled everything with poise, confidence, and a sense of humor. He exceeded expectations going above and beyond what was asked of him, and I don’t know if many other musicians would have handled it all with such grace.
On top of all that, he is a wonderful musician too, even when the church pianist was forced to join us in a hymn at the last second and played in the wrong key almost the entire time. (You can’t make this stuff up) Paul became our ally as we walked into that battlefield and now he feels like a member of our family. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts Paul! You are a blessing.
