Corporate Function•Reviewed on August 21, 2009•From Portland, ME

Our company hosted a dinner cruise with clients last night. Ken was very professional, punctual and talented. Our clients were very impressed by his performance. I will be calling Ken for our next event for sure.

Ken's piano playing for the ceremony and cocktail hour was amazing! He was a vendor we used that we never had to worry about. I would reccomend him to anyone that needed a piano player. wWhat a nice guy!

Anniversary Party•Reviewed on December 20, 2008•From Boston, MA

Ken was a joy to have playing at our event. He was very accomodating, and played magnificently, but always in response to the needs of the evening. I recommend him highly to anyone who wants a first-class pianist.

Ken is great to work with. He made the planning and execution of the event so easy. His selection is great. I really didnt provide him with any selection preference besides it was a luncheon. All my guests enjoyed the music.

Professional, accommodating, prompt, sociable and more importantly a first rate pianist. Ken brought elegance and sophistication to my wife's surprise birthday. I would recommend Ken to anybody looking for top-notch jazz pianist.

Christmas Party•Reviewed on December 18, 2008•From Princeton, MA

We hired Ken for a company holiday party and were very pleased with his skills and how accommodating he was with our schedule throughout the evening. I would certainly hire him again and reccommend him to others. He did a wonderful job playing music throughout our dinner party and evening festivities.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on November 15, 2008•From Northampton, MA

Ken was responsive and professional before the gig, and a great addition to the party. He played an exceptionally wide range of pieces, and responded to my request for pieces from a certain era. He took only one short break in 4 hours. We received lots of positive feedback. His price was very reasonable.

Private Party•Reviewed on October 15, 2008•From Woods Hole, MA

Ken was the perfect pianist for my event. I wanted someone to play a nice variety of piano music for my parent's anniversary party, and Ken did exactly that. I received numerous compliments on his behalf from many guests.

Wedding•Reviewed on September 20, 2008•From Westford, MA

Ken was very receptive and professional from the very beginning when I found him online at Gigmasters. He sent me a beautiful CD of his work and was helpful in answering all of my questions. I didn't see much of him at the cocktail hour due to our pictures, but I was able to meet him and hear a few songs. He is a very nice guy and his music is wonderful. I would highly highly recommend Ken. Sincerely, Amy R

Wedding•Reviewed on October 17, 2008•From Topsfield, MA

Ken was very accommodating with music requests and time changes for the event. He showed up an hour in advance so we did not need to worry about whether he would be there on time or not. I would definetely hire him again.

Private Party•Reviewed on June 20, 2008•From Chatham, MA

If you have a long checklist of things worrying you about an upcoming event or party, call Ken Watson and you can cross "Get delightful, live piano music" off that list. Ken was terrific at our son's wedding. He is talented, reliable, and easy to deal with.

Wedding•Reviewed on December 11, 2007•From Boston, MA

Mr Ken Watson is a professional in every sense. Mr Watson brings a classic and refined sensibility to his piano playing with a soft touch that really allows for the music to shine. Mr Watson really took the time to understand our musical tastes and was kind enough to perform for us in the privacy of his home so we could get a sampling of his enormous talent!! Both my fiance and I were left spellbound by his piano playing that day and he was a tremendous hit on the day of our wedding. Mr Watson was a pleasure to work with in every way and we highly recommend him to anyone looking for that classic and elegant touch for their next function!!

Private Party•Reviewed on November 17, 2007•From Auburn, MA

Mr. Watson was extremely courteous, accomplished, and professional. We hired him to play the piano during my mother's surprise 75th birthday party, and he added just the air of elegance that we had sought. He brought his own piano and speakers, played an extensive repertoire of music by heart, and accomodated many requests to accompany a number of performers within the family -- often at the last minute -- with grace and aplomb. Several dozen guests made a point of telling us how much they loved his playing, and what a great addition he was to the evening. We couldn't agree more. My dealings with him were outstanding at every stage; I recommend him highly!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on November 25, 2005•From Concord, MA

We are delighted that we chose to invite Ken into our home and entertain our guests. He was extremely flexible and courteous in the selection of the play list, and went out of his way to assemble the lyrics of the songs we chose so that some of our guests could participate. Everyone had a great time, and Ken helped to set a sophisticated and fun mood... just right for our event. Our theme was 50's era romantic songs from the American songbook, typically the songs sung by Frank Sinatra, Doris Day, Mel Torme, etc. Ken is very familiar with this genre and plays it confidently and well. I highly recommend Ken to you, and would invite him back to our home again in the future without hesitation.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on December 10, 2005•From Lexington, MA

Private Party•Reviewed on December 17, 2005•From Brookline, MA

Ken helped to make our party a sophisticated comfortable one with his music. He played just the right tunes for our crowd of mostly 60 year olds who think younger, and we would recommend him anytime for those who appreciate the classics in popular music. He was highly professional and did everything he could to please us and our friends.
