Chris was extremely professional. Received several compliments during his performance and post party how talented he was. We had a diverse age group and everyone enjoyed the music. I would use Chris again.

It was a pleasure being able to play at the birthday party. Really wonderful meeting everyone, and thank you as well for the challenging requests! Elvis sang some really wonderful songs that I’d forgotten about, so they were a joy to sing. I appreciate your review and please let me know if you have any other music needs! 😊

December 24, 2018Exactly What I Was Searching For!
I commissioned Chris to write a song for me to present to my wife for her birthday. After working closely with me to get the right emotions and sentiments into the lyrics, he wrote the most beautiful and touching song, which he performed live for us over dinner (as another surprise for her birthday). Everyone that has heard it agrees that it sounds like something you'd hear on the radio from a Top 40 artist! Chris's voice is exactly what I was hoping to find for this song. Clear, confident, and emotional. The whole experience was a pleasure, and it really was nothing short of perfect.
We'll seriously cherish the song as a monument to our relationship for the rest of our lives. Chris worked with me diligently to ensure it was perfect. I believe he truly cared, which is what I think made all the difference. He is talented and thoughtful, and so easy to work with.
I will recommend him at every opportunity, and wish him continued success!

Chris plays for us any time we have a spot open, and it’s always a pleasure. We have a space in the heart of the city at one of the busiest bars in Pittsburgh and Chris always knows how to play exactly to the crowd. He finds their vibe and matches it. Exceptional musician with a kind and humble personality. Will always recommend.
