Adam Austin is incredibly blessed with talent. If you are lucky and he is not booked up and is available grab him ASAP. We looked at over 12 musicians for our dinner dance party. No one comes close to what Adam Austin can do. We were overwhelmed with compliments from our guests and he made it a very special day. We have hired in the past and after hearing Adam sing and play I will never get anyone else. HE IS THAT GOOOD.
And he should be charging for autographs. You are d lucky to get him. We were blessed. Thank you, MR. AUSTIN.

Response from Adam Austin:
Judy Judy Judy! Thank you so much for the kindest words, God Bless you and your Mother, it was her day and we made it a wonderful memory for her! Amen! Adam
Adam provided entertainment for our private party recently and helped turn a very nice evening into a memorable one. He is very professional but more importantly very good! He played and sang for three hours straight without taking any breaks. His Sinatra styled voice was the perfect fit for the song portfolio we selected and his friendly nature was a hit with our guests.
I look forward to having another event in the future that will allow us to hook up with Adam again.

Adam was our entertainer for our Gala Luncheon. Adam was early, and focused. He was warm and kind. An absolute delight. The whole crowd loved him . We may book him for next year too!

I have had the pleasure of booking and working with Adam in our Rat Pack/Sinatra tribute shows for high end corporate events in both Palm Beach and Miami Beach. He's always been professional, positive and pleasant to work with. Adam has impressed our clients with his musical talent! I highly recommend hiring him for any event; he is a gifted man

What to Expect
What To Expect:
A lively energetic Musician/DJ who loves what he does and it shows to all who have seen him perform.
An easy going, professional guy to work with. You can count on someone who has the expeirenced ability to read the room, feel the pulse, and deliver what is needed to make the event a Home Run from start to finish. You will always find me behind the piano, providing music for the entire engagement.
Professional is working with the hosts and event planners, leaving no details to question, and since I have been doing this successfully for 30 years now, I generally know what is needed musically at any time throughout the party. I can safely assure you that when you have chosen me to be your entertainment, you never need to give anymore thought to the aural mood of any event, for an experienced professional has it firmly
I need nothing more than a plug, for I carry everything needed for any size event. I am most self contained and need only a 5X8 foot area are to set up in. My piano, microphones, DJ, and sound system equipment will all fit in that area. Neat and tidy. A wireless microphone is always available for guest soloists, toasts and announcements. See, one less thing to be concerned about…
You can count on a professional who has been hired to be just that. Ex: While I am the entertainment, its not about me, I DO NOT blast a room. I keep my levels below the conversation threshold, and turn it up only when its time to dance. I always eat before I arrive (no scrounging for food, very tacky...), my breaks are 5 minutes long, and it's while I DJ a song (none of that "Where's the band?" stuff…), I'll grab something to drink (oh, and I don't drink alcohol…) and get back on the stand to do what I am hired to do. The reason why I add all of this is because I have seen it, and I have worked beside it for many years. and I don't practice these things...
You can also count on many compliments from all who attend, for I enjoy what I do, your guests will as well!
Give me a call, and have a Blessed Day!

About
I am originally from upstate New York, received a bachelors degree in music education/history from Syracuse University. Moved to Palm Beach Florida, in 1988, where I enjoyed 30+ years in Palm Beach in the leopard lounge of the Hotel Chesterfield. In 2023, I moved to Chicago, living in Des Plaines, and making my new life musically here. Music has been my life since the age of four years old, singing, playing multiple instruments, and entertaining, has been my “grown-up job” for 40+ years. I like to make an impression on might hosts as well as the guests.
Additional Booking Notes
I carry everything I need for any sized event, I only require a 6 X 10 dry, covered area with access to AC power. I use the available lighting. I carry the piano, sound system which neatly fits in any tight area.

Set List
Set Lists have always been deal breakers. EX: I do perform "I Just Called To Say I Love You", It not one of my favorites, in fact I just don't care for it, but I include that on my song list for diversity sake. Now, if don't like that song either, and see it on my set list, you might think I going to do that song on your event. So you move on…."Pigeon Holing" I believe it's called. So I shy away from set lists, and perform be what the mood is at that moment.
I have everything from 1920-2015, it might be better to list what I DON'T Do…
The Alley Cat
The Hokey Pokey
