Sam was extremely professional with the perfect appearance. He was on time to our event and played the perfect music to fit the vibe of the night. Would definitely recommend to anyone!
Klaus was such a delight to work with. He was very communicative and worked to help me ensure that we had the best event possible. We had to change the venue last minute due to weather and Klaus was very flexible and helpful. He's an incredible pianist and our guests were very pleased and impressed. I would absolutely hire him again and I highly recommend him for your event as well!
Sam came early to set up. Very professional and played wonderful music for our Christmas party. Would highly recommend to anyone.
Arrived early and stayed later than asked. The whole party loved his music.
Klaus is an amazing piano player! He arrived early, was very well dressed, and his talent is amazing! He was well prepared and I highly recommend him to all!!
Response from Play it again, Sam!:
Sandy, thank you so much for your reply. It was a privilege to play at your very well organized party. I was very surprised when I opened the thank-you-note you gave me and the outstanding tip inside. Thank you again and stay safe.
Klause was wonderful. He set up quickly. Even helped us move the very heavy baby grand piano into another room. Our parents had a wonderful time singing and reminiscing over the tines gone by. The guests at the party are still talking about the music and the fun songs that were played at the party . Klause played for an hour and half and was very approachable at the piano. We all gathered around him and sang songs and danced. It was truly a night that will be remembered for many years to come. Thanks klause for making my parents anniversary a truly magical event
Klaus arrived early, set up quickly, never took a break in 3 hours, played great tunes, played until party wrapped up instead of scheduled time ...all in all he will be our go-to musician for future events!!! Fantastic.
I highly recommend this gentleman for any event. Very professional and courteous. The music provided was perfect and my guests were very impressed.

When it comes to memorable Golden Hits throughout the ages the style of my playing likes to draw the audience in and experience again the way they felt when they heard their favorites for the first time.
As a pianist I look back on a musical journey as a solo artist, band member and choir director through the last 50 years (Classic, Blues, Rock, Gospel).
I studied classical music in Germany and directed musicals in Europe (West Side Story, Carnival).
As a composer I signed an exclusive publishing contract with D.S.M. Producers, Inc., a Warner/Chappell Music Inc. affiliate, to compose songs and background music for movies and TV shows.
As a Baby-Boomer I love to play the great Blues- and Rock-Anthems of the 60's, 70's and beyond.
