They were such a fun group. I think I enjoyed afternoon as much or even more than they did!!
Truth be told, we didn't know what to expect, but we couldn't be happier that we connected with Robert McPherson - The Drunken Tenor. He made the trip to family's house where the extended family needed a big boost to their family gathering. Robert blew them away with his singing, putting on an impressive show that showcased his talent, kindness and coolness. Additionally, Robert was gracious in flexing to some last-minute scheduling needs of our family. Thank you, Robert McPherson, for brightening the day of our family by taking your top-notch show on the road!

Robert was incredibly professional, accommodating and friendly. His amazing voice made our ceremony one that we will always remember. We had a couple of special requests for songs and he was very understanding and eager to help us. I would highly recommend Robert, you won’t regret it!

Our company used The Drunk Tenor to pull an April Fools prank on one of our prankster employees and Robert did an awesome job creating a personalized song for the occasion!

Thank you so much! It was a lot of fun. You gave me some great suggestions to help with writing text.
I enjoy creating new parody songs for clients. I usually make an original background track to sing along with. This time I also sent them an edited video of his reactions to keep for their use afterwards.
Robert was superb and everyone enjoyed his singing. He was incredibly easy to work with, very responsive and the ultimate professional. I would recommend him to anyone who would like to hear someone with a very beautiful voice sing for them, either in-person or virtually. His performance was well worth it! I hope to have other occasions in the future where we can enjoy his talent.

I hired Robert to sing for my mom's 70th birthday socially distanced style because #COVID! He gave her the best surprise and sang beautifully. She was so excited and beyond impressed. Such a great gift to give if you can't be there to sing in person (or even if you can, because let's be honest, you're not as good)!

The Drunken Tenor was an exceptional experience! He is 10 stars on a 5-star scale!! He was easy to work with, flexible, creative and on-point for just what we wanted! His presentation was uplifting, humorous, and professional!! He was a little more expensive than others, but was well worth it! His level of performance was superior to anything else we saw. And, his voice....oh my!!! Beautiful, gorgeous, this man can sing anything!! Robert is an extremely talented performer who will make any experience a success! Check him out!!

Robert put on a great performance for us in doing a singing telegram for our sons birthday. He pulled off an impersonation of a US President that exceeded expectations, and on relatively short notice. We’d definitely recommend Robert, he’s a very versatile and talented performer.

Thank you so much! It was great to be able to help you celebrate your son's birthday.
Robert was absolutely perfect for my father’s memorial. As an opera singer himself, he would have loved Robert’s voice. It was perfect. Thank you, Robert, for your contribution to an amazing day.
