Dustin was open and accommodating with every request I made on selection of music pieces.  He came on time looking professional and ready.
    We totally enjoyed his playing and he made our party a success!

Dustin was amazing! I'm a professional violinist who needed a pianist to accompany me for an event. He showed up ahead of time, well-presented in a tux and played perfectly! At one point I had some logistical event issues that I needed to take care of and when I asked Dustin if he could takeover for a bit, he without hesitation rose to the occasion and literally never missed a beat. It was a pleasure working with him and I highly recommend Dustin to anyone looking here on Gigmasters and that you hire him for your next event. I know I will! 

Dustin. showed up right on time.  He was very accommodating given the fact that I had never hire a musician before.   We had music industry professional in attendance and he was very accommodating to them as well .  He's music was right on and we ultimately had him paying sing along Christmas music. That he did great with.  Everyone commented on how great Dustin was.  I am certain I will be hiring him for other events in the future.
