December 17, 2025Perfect addition to our holiday party
Will was a joy to work with from start to finish. He was incredibly responsive during the planning for our 30-person holiday party, and even on short notice we quickly aligned on the set list and timing. He graciously jumped in to provide backing keyboards alongside my son on viola, which added a special touch. Will arrived promptly, set up efficiently with a compact arrangement that fit perfectly in our living room, and immediately brought the energy once the performance began. For over half an hour, he led Christmas classics in a lively singalong style that drew everyone in and created a warm, festive atmosphere. His voice and musicianship are outstanding, and his presence truly elevated the event. I would gladly hire him again without hesitation.

What to expect
What you can expect to hear when hiring Will to perform at an event varies quite a bit depending on what you're looking for. He caters the setup of his performance and type of music to the needs of each specific event. Some events want Will to play easy listening background music on piano to create a relaxed atmosphere. Some want to crank it up with a full blown band to get people on their feet and dancing. Others want a little of both or something in between. At the end of the day, Will's goal is to customize the perfect atmosphere for each individual client to make their event truly unforgettable.
Set list
Will has a very extensive set list and can easily learn most songs if requested in advance. His repertoire consist mostly of pop music ranging from the 1950s to present day. If requested, he can also play rock, country, soul, blues, funk, R&B, gospel, and more.
