The Absolute Best for an Amazing Experience

I hired Robert last minute to surprise a friend on her birthday.

He was an ABSOLUTE DELIGHT to work with.

Initially the surprise performance was going to be on her doorstep at home but then logistical challenges made a park in NYC the location. He was flexible and totally game to elevate the whole experience, and make it super special.

He communicated clearly, promptly and inspired total trust from the outset.

From my initial messages, to reconfirmations on the day and to the performance itself Robert was fun, engaging and utterly professional.

Trust me, when you hire Robert you'll an amazing time!

Willing to bet that this is the best musician on this site

I would put money on it. Robert was a class act from the start, a consummate professional. He was as dedicated and passionate about this “gig” as he would have been a permanent full time job. He was also insanely talented and so knowledgeable about his craft that all I had to do was provide a song list and he knew every single song. The children found a new hero in Robert. I’m so glad this site allowed us to connect. Book him if you can! And prepare to have your mind blown!

Talented Professional Trumpet

Our experience with Robert was wonderful! After posting my event, he responded quickly with his availability. Robert accompanied an organist and a cantor for my Father-In-Law’s funeral mass. He communicated with the church music director, showed up early for the event, and his trumpet playing truly elevated the mass. Our entire family was so pleased with his music, and surprised by what a solemn tone his trumpet provided. Thank you Robert for sharing your musical talent with us on such an important day.
