We hired Pete to provide some music for our backyard, small, house party. Not only is he an excellent musician, he was extremely kind, very prompt, organized, and responded to all questions prior to the event.

Thanks Rose. It was my pleasure.
I was looking for an acoustic guitarist to play at a Vintage Marketplace. Met Pete and listened to some of his music on video. Perfect FIT! His voice is great and played music that everyone knows. Highly recommend!

Connie, Thanks so much for having me. I had a great time and met some great people.
Pete is one of the finest talented artists we have heard in a decade. We requested Pete for our annual family Christmas party. Everyone "raved" about his music of varied artists, talent and kind professionalism. We are already planning our next events for the New Year to utilize Pete and also looking to book him in our family's local restaurant for Sunday Brunch. Pete brings a new kind of music that fulfills your spirit and opens your heart. We will certainly spread the word and highly recommend Pete for any event.

Peter was very professional in communicating with me prior to the event. He coordinated a special duet with our neice at our request and it was fantastic . We loved his selection of folk and light rock songs played at our dinner party. Many of our guests asked me for his name and number at the end of the evening. I was very happy we hired him!

Thanks Renee. It was my pleasure.
Pete played music for my parents' surprise 60th birthday party at a venue in Rocky River. The mix of blues and classic rock was exactly what we wanted! He kindly took son requests from our guests. He was extremely talented and had a wonderful voice. Our guests commented on how much they enjoyed him, and several wanted his contact info. His price was totally reasonable considering his talent. Thank you Pete for helping us create a fun and enjoyable atmosphere!

I recently attended an event where Pete performed. Bravo Pete! I really enjoyed your music. I will make sure I attend future performances.
I've had the pleasure of hearing Peter play on several occasions. He's a very talented artist and I wish he was closer so I could see him again. I would recommend him for any party or event as his playlist is varied enough for many age groups. Peter puts his heart into his work and it shows!

About
*****PETER IS A SOLO PERFORMER AND DOES NOT WORK WITH A BAND*****
If John Lennon and James Taylor were to have a love child he would look and sound like Peter Tompkins.
SOLO ARTIST Peter Tompkins blends his Classic Rock influences from such acts as The Beatles and James Taylor into a unique sound that is all his own. His warm, full and inviting vocals are perfect on such covers as You’ve Got A Friend. His original compositions in his first three C.D.’s are very well crafted and reflective.
“Peter’s songwriting ability captures heart-felt emotion and translates it into music that reaches the hearts of those who hear it. This is especially evident in the beautiful song he has written entitled “Child’s Play”
Robert J. Carothers
Songwriter and Performer
Member of The National Recording Academy
