Perfect for Holiday Party!

We hired Ryan for our company's holiday party. He and the pianist who played at our event were phenomenal! We were impressed by their extraordinary and professional musicianship. Their jazzy holiday tunes set the perfect mood for the evening. Ryan was incredibly responsive in scheduling and booking, and the duo arrived plenty early to set up for the event. We so appreciate you playing at our party. Thank you, Ryan!
