Wedding CeremonyReviewed on October 11, 2017From Milton, NY

Eric was great! We used him for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour and the music was amazing. His genre of songs and voice was perfect for our magical day. He was a hit with everyone!

Engagement PartyReviewed on May 21, 2017From Darien, CT

Erik was fantastic. He was very easy to work with ahead of the event, accommodated all our requests, showed up early, and played the whole night. Everyone at the party could not stop talking about him, and many wanted his information so that they could book him for there own events. You will not be disappointed hiring Erik, we could not have been more happy with how everything went.

Wedding CeremonyReviewed on August 1, 2016From Arlington, VT

Eric performed during our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour at our July wedding. He was incredibly flexible with all our requests, learned a song that wasn't on his list for our recessional, and was EXTREMELY patient as we went back-and-forth as to whether we would go outside and chance the weather or head under a tent for the ceremony (even though his instrument & dryness were at risk!). Cannot recommend him highly enough!

Wedding CeremonyReviewed on July 6, 2016From Catskill, NY

Eric was the most amazing guitarist for our wedding! He was so easy to work with and truly cared about making our event special. He played at our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour, and the guests kept coming to me during and after the wedding to rave about how wonderful he played and sang!!! His voice and talent is something special. Thank you so much Eric for making our event so incredible, we couldn't be happier to have had you!

Wedding ReceptionReviewed on April 14, 2016From New York City, NY

Planning our wedding from overseas was both exciting and challenging - working with professionals like Eric made all the difference. Eric was absolutely brilliant - incredibly talented, enormously accommodating and very professional. He was flexible and responsive, learned the songs we requested and played them flawlessly, Music was one of the first things that brought Richard and I together and continues to be a big part of our lives, so the right soundtrack for our wedding day was key. Our standards are high and Eric didn't disappoint. Highly recommended!

Rehearsal DinnerReviewed on October 28, 2017From Cooperstown, NY

He’s a true professional and he is very talented. His has a great voice and plays guitar well. We gave him the details and he did everything we asked of him....hassle free. What a pleasure dealing with him. He is well worth the cost.

Wedding CeremonyReviewed on March 14, 2016From Albany, NY

I hired Eric to play at my wedding ceremony, and as a result, became a huge fan! Eric worked closely with me to pick the right songs that would work well with our vision. He was honest, knowledgable, and open to ideas throughout the process. He is a talented guitarist and also a strong vocalist. Many of my guests still talk about his performance, making it a very special part of the day. Eric is able to take requests, but even more impressive is his attention to the audience and surroundings. For example, my father mentioned a particular song in his toast, and Eric played it - right on the spot! I strongly recommend him as a musician and professional!

Community EventReviewed on May 5, 2016From Diamond Point, NY

Eric is an amazing musician who is also extremely kind, punctual, and professional. He played to the crowd at our event perfectly. We hope to have another excuse to hire him again soon. Would HIGHLY recommend!

:

Many thanks to Rebecca and Matt for having me sing at the opening of their new marina. I had a great time and their potential clients were pleasant, respectful folks who seemed to be enjoying themselves a great deal. I certainly hope I have the opportunity to return to Freedon Marina and play more for the lovely people I encountered there.

Cocktail PartyReviewed on July 25, 2016From Manchester, VT

Eric was amazing! He was extremely professional and accommodating to all requests. Eric performed at our rehearsal dinner and at a welcome party the night before our wedding. He helped set the ambiance throughout the evening. There were approximately 150 in attendance and they ALL had an amazing time thanks to Eric. It was so fun to see our friends and family singing along.

FuneralReviewed on September 27, 2015From Monroe, NY

Eric performed at my wife’s funeral yesterday; an emotional time for my family and I. The church was completely full (standing room only). He was amazing. He played three beautiful songs at the conclusion of the ceremony: My Sweet Lord, Annie’s Song, and Let it Be. Eric poured heartfelt energy and passion into each song to lift our spirits. He performed with a flawless transition between the songs. A spontaneous connection occurred between the audience and Eric on “Let it Be” where everyone sang Let it Be! Let it Be! Eric was the buzz of the gathering afterwards where everyone commented that Eric was so talented, healing, and uplifting. We will hire Eric again.

WeddingReviewed on November 2, 2015From Warren, NJ

Eric was absolutely wonderful! He provided the music for my mother's wedding which was an elegant luncheon on a Sunday afternoon. Everyone was blown away by his talent and he truly made the day. Eric was easy and professional to work with. He responded quickly to emails and was accommodating to any requests we had. He was able to quickly learn a song that we requested for the ceremony and utilized the playlist we provided him. I cannot recommend Eric enough for any event! We had several guests ask us for his contact information for their own events.

Birthday Party (Adult)Reviewed on October 25, 2015From Parsippany, NJ

Eric was awesome for so many reasons. He was professional, accommodating, wonderful to work with and so talented. My wife and I reviewed Eric's song list and chose the songs we wanted to hear for my 65th b'day party. He played all of those songs and more, making the evening a wonderful success. People were singing, dancing and clapping. Eric has a mellow voice and is a really talented guitarist. His "picking" skills were evident and he truly brings his guitar to life. People did not want to leave. Many of our guests let us know how much they enjoyed listening to him. If you want a party with great music of the 60s and 70s, go with Eric and enjoy.

Private PartyReviewed on March 18, 2016From Lenox, MA

Eric exceeded all expectations. Not only was he accommodating to our last minute request he had our entire company singing along to his amazing set list and raving about how great he sounded during and after his performance. I would HIGHLY recommend Eric to anyone!

FundraiserReviewed on November 16, 2015From Copake, NY

Eric and his musical selection were perfect for our donor recognition dinner. We heard several compliments about both his song selection and his wonderful execution. We were so glad to have Eric play for our guests, and we absolutely recommend him!

Apres Ski PartyReviewed on January 18, 2016From Windham, NY

Eric is fantastic and made our party so much fun! You should hire him. He was so easy to work with and willing to handle any request I had. He was punctual, polite and incredibly talented. He took song requests and kept the party vibe upbeat and lively. Just a great find. I will go hear him play whenever I can. Thanks Eric!

We couldn't have been more happy with Eric! He was so friendly, and his communication was so pleasant. He made the whole process such a joy and his performance on the night of the party was extraordinary! I wish I was having another event so I could hire him again.

Wedding CeremonyReviewed on August 26, 2012From Kingston, NY

We had Eric play for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour and he was amazing! Not only was he incredibly accommodating in learning song requests he also was prepared, professional, and everything we could have asked for. Numerous guests told us how wonderful he sounded and how much they enjoyed listening to him play and sing. His talent and love of music shine throughout his performance and he helped to make our special day that much more special. Outstanding performer, would recommend him to anyone and everyone!!

Wedding Cocktail HourReviewed on October 23, 2013From Cragsmoor, NY

My (now) husband and I saw Eric perform at a bar in Ellenville and after hearing is extensive repertoire of acoustic classics we just HAD to have him sing at our wedding. Eric played during our ceremony and cocktail hour. We requested he play Elton John's "Harmony" which he didn't know and not only did he learn it, he NAILED it for the big day. He set such a wonderful tone for our cocktail reception too. Our guests just couldn't stop talking about him and asking us where we found him. Not only does he have a beautiful voice he is just a pleasure to work with and his song recommendations and selections made our day special in so many ways.

Wedding CeremonyReviewed on July 30, 2014From Northville, NY

Unfortunately, being the bride, I wasn't able to hear all of the wonderful songs that Eric played during cocktail hour. However, I heard nothing but amazing things from other people about him. He played during our ceremony as well and did a really great job. He was very easy to work with, funny, and accommodating. I would love to hire him for another function in the future and would gladly recommend him to anyone.

Private PartyReviewed on February 26, 2013From Saugerties, NY

Eric played for our wedding after party in the fall. And he was wonderful. 1.He is a total professional. He is easy to get a hold of and he listens to your questions and concerns. I never had to chase after him, and he was quick to reply with paperwork, concerns, etc. 2. The performace: Wonderful. If you are looking for a smooth sound, Eric is it. His guitar-playing is spot on. He plays the classics beautifully, and he has a vast, comprehensive catalog. Our guests loved Eric, as did we. We sang along or just sat back and enjoyed...I would hire Eric all over again. I would hire him all over again.
