Technical Requirement: I am totally self-contained and provide all my own equipment. I can either bring my own professional electric stage piano with top-of-the-range Bose PA system or perform using the venue's own piano. In the case of bringing my equipment, my only requirement is a single power supply near my performance location.
I just wanted to thank you again for last night; you were truly fabulous! You set the perfect vibe for the night and put together a better set list than any of us could have come up with. We’ve received such great feedback from the office about you, so thank you from us ALL at Ketchum!
We had Tim play at our reception. He was amazing and set the tone for the rest of what was a great day!
I just wanted to thank you for playing at our wedding, we've had nothing
but high praise for your music... it couldn't have been better
Can I just say I thought you and your band were superb last night and I expect to be seeing more of you as your fame spreads!
