Review by MARY K.

Community Event•Reviewed on February 9, 2026•From New London, CT

Brian was fantastic. Due to the weather we had to postpone 3 times- he was most accommodating. I was somewhat hesitant he would be able to sing the National Anthem- he was SUPERB ! i DEFINATELY will be hiring him for further engagements.

Thank you Mary!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on October 11, 2025•From Lee, MA

Brian Made Our 60th Birthday Celebration Unforgettable We were lucky to have Brian perform at my 60th birthday celebration in the Berkshires, and he was truly the highlight of the evening. His piano playing was elegant and expressive, and his voice brought every song to life, from classics to contemporary favorites. Brian read the room perfectly, creating the ideal atmosphere and even taking special requests that made the night feel personal and meaningful. Guests couldn’t stop talking about how fantastic he was! If you’re looking for a talented, professional, and heartfelt performer to elevate your event, we can’t recommend Brian highly enough.

New Year's Eve Party•Reviewed on January 16, 2022•From Tannersville, NY

Brian performed for our New Year’s Eve party and we could not have been more pleased. He read the crowd and evening perfectly, starting with background music for a cocktail hour and ending with everyone around the piano singing together from music sheets provided by Brian (very thoughtful). He showed a full range of music from jazz to pop/rock and a great singing voice to match. We can’t wait to have him back for our next party. Thanks Brian! Erin & Damian

Club Event•Reviewed on June 9, 2019•From Farmington, CT

Brian was very professional and right on time for our fashion show event at the country club. He was able to adapt our music needs to the crowd and the show, providing background music and being very flexible. He was very accommodating and is a talented musician. I would hire him again!

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on September 16, 2017•From Troy, NY

Brian was an awesome find for our summer wedding. We planned a low-key reception at an Italian restaurant after our Church ceremony. We needed someone to emcee and provide entertainment while guests enjoyed an early dinner. Brian is very talented and professional and all of our guests thought he was great. He was also very flexible on time, as dinner and cake ran a little late. He allowed me to pick songs from a lengthy list and he also brought all of the equipment for the venue. He helped to make "our day" an amazing one. Thank You Brian!

:

Thank you so much Tory. I hope your school year got off to a great start. Best regards, Brian

Christmas Party•Reviewed on February 8, 2016•From Salem, CT

Brian Kelly was hired to provide both current and Christmas music for a large party my wife and I hosted. It was to be the last party in the house before we retired and moved South. In that I am a guitarist, I asked Brian to back me up for one set of special songs during the evening. We practiced twice before the event, for which I paid him an hourly rate. He is very talented, very sensitive to style and totally complementary as back up. The evening went wonderfully, everyone enjoyed the treat of live music, and the special set made the evening. He is a wonderful person, expert musician and wonderful addition to any group.

Christmas Party•Reviewed on December 30, 2015•From Oxford, CT

This is an annual Christmas party and this year by far was the best one yet primarily due to Brian. He was accommodating, gracious and professional. His personality and demeanor are wonderful. This is a crowd that loves to sing and participate and Brian was the perfect entertainer. Thank you gig masters and thank you Brian.

Holiday Party•Reviewed on December 15, 2015•From Glastonbury, CT

Brian was very friendly and professional. His song list was diverse and he is a very talented musician and vocalist. I would recommend him very much and plan on using his services again.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on November 6, 2015•From Wethersfield, CT

Brian and Brad fit to our wedding perfectly. We weren't looking for a "regular wedding band" and we weren't looking for a "dance hall band" either. We wanted music that people of all ages could enjoy performed live even if they weren't dancing. Even our Aunt Betty (age 81) thought they were good :)
