We had such a fun afternoon celebrating Oktoberfest at our community. Bob was so entertaining and engaging with the residents. So many smiles all around the room. Can’t wait to have him back at Hearthstone if Beaverton again!

Thanks for the kind review. I would love to return. Such a fun group. Note: This year I have provided music for many occasions; Christmas songs and carols, Valentine’s Day ballads and love songs, St Patrick’s day Irish ballads, jigs and reels, Fourth of July patriotic marches and songs, swing style dance music from the 30s and 40s, popular songs from the 50s and 60s, Italian folk songs for pizza or spaghetti night, world music, including Klezmer, French, Romania, and Russian folk songs.
Bob was an excellent choice for our backyard party. His music was great and he delighted our guests.
Response from Bob Noel:
Thank you for the kind words. I appreciated all of the quests that came up to me and said how much they enjoyed the music.
Bob Noel played the accordion for our 50th Wedding Anniversary party. At our request, he played a mixture of Italian and Celtic songs, which we were able to select. Bob was very competent, accommodating, and easy to work with. We would highly recommend him.

Bob was all that we'd hoped for to set the mood at our annual summer party. He was easy to work with, great communication and he confirmed again right before the event. He arrived on time and set up was quick and easy.
He played a variety of folk music and it set the mood for our party. We wanted a background ambiance that made things feel like we were in a movie or transported to another time or place (could we be in a European village right now?). The teenagers spontaneously started holding hands in a circle and dancing! Guest mingled and chatted with ease, and it was a perfect afternoon.
We could not have asked for more. Thank you so much Bob. We had so many guests remark on how wonderful your music was. You made our party the talk of the neighborhood and we can't wait to have you back next year!
Response from Bob Noel:
Thanks for the kind words. I thoroughly enjoyed playing for your group. A very pleasant group of neighbors. I enjoyed talking with several of them. Thanks again!!
Loved the music, the variety, and the professionalism of Bob. It was a hot day with lots of people but the addition of this music made it cozy, light, and enjoyable for all who were at your Sunday birthday bash brunch! Would highly recommend Bob for any accordian, easy listening gigs!
Bob did an excellent job and I would recommend him to anyone who loves hymns or polka music.Thanks,Bob
Response from Bob Noel:
Thanks for your kind review. I appreciate all the wonderful comments people made to me at the event. Note that I play many styles of music including Italian, French, Irish, big band, jazz, Broadway, and standards from the 1920s through the 1970s.
Bob did a great job of keep our residents here at Prestige Senior Living Beaverton Hills engaged and enthralled. Initially, we'd planned to have Bob play while we did some games & activities for our Oktoberfest but, so many residents were drawn to Bob's music additional activties were not needed!
Thanks again Bob for your addition to our event.
The residents in my community thoroughly enjoyed this performance. Thank you for helping us present them a fun event! Will see you next year! 😁
Response from Bob Noel:
Thanks for inviting me to play at the Maybelle Residence in downtown Portland. I enjoyed being able to interact with the residents and they were very appreciative of the music
Bob did absolutely wonderful at Oktoberfest! I highly recommend him to anyone looking for entertainment for their event.
Response from Bob Noel:
It was a treat to play for your residents at Arcadia Senior living. I enjoyed watching some residents dance while I played and your staff’s energy and enthusiasm helped make it a fun experience. I also enjoyed getting to talk with a few residents. Thank you for inviting me to play at your event.
Bob was very pleasant and the music was great! He played authentic Oktoberfest music and a varied playlist. He wore Lederhosen and that really added to the event! 5 out of 5 would highly recommend.
Response from Bob Noel:
Thanks for the very nice review. Although I had some difficulty finding the location, I was able to start playing on time. It was fun having some people there that knew some of the old German folk songs and I also enjoyed talking with some of the students in between songs. An enjoyable experience!!
Bob was great!
Looking forward to having him join us again next year!!
Thank you Bob!!
Bob made our Oktoberfest festivities come alive!! He worked with us with a smile as we added new sing along songs to his extended play list - would highly recommend Bob!
Response from Bob Noel:
Thank you for the kind review. I had a great time and your guests were delightful.
Bob was perfect for our event. Everyone enjoyed his music selection. Even the little ones. Would definitely recommend him for your event.
Response from Bob Noel:
I enjoyed playing at your party. You have a beautiful home in a beautiful setting and very nice friends and family I only wish I had 10% of the energy the little girl displayed dancing and running around.
Bob arrived early and played a great set of tunes for my Dad's 80th birthday party! Very sweet and nice to talk to. Everyone really enjoyed his music.
Response from Bob Noel:
It was a delight to play for and interact with your dad and your family. I had great fun watching the kids dance and you and your sister Diane did a great job on the Chicken Dance. Thank you for including me. I had a blast!!
Within 5 minutes of our line dancing group arriving, they were asking Bob to play the Charleston and got right down to dancing! Everyone enjoyed his music and it was fun to see our guests bonding with one another because Bob played such fun music. We even asked him to stay longer. We have already reserved him for our St. Patty's Day soiree....Bob is the best!
Response from Bob Noel:
Thanks for the wonderful review. This group in their roaring 20s outfits was fun to play for. You have a beautiful home and you and your husband are great hosts. I enjoyed being able to play a variety of music from the roaring 20s to big band to the 1950s. Looking forward to the St Patrick’s day soiree.
Bob,
You did an incredible job playing for my 70th birthday party today. My Dad, my brother and I all played accordions at our family events over the years. You brought back all those memories for me. I was surprised that my kids found you and asked you to come play for us. I was glad to play a little with you at my party too. Sincerely, Dennis
Response from Bob Noel:
I enjoyed playing with you. If I had known you might play I would have brought some sheet music. Great party!!
The music was incredible! So much talent and such incredible sound from that accordian. You are a must have at every family event we have. Great talent, sound and personality. Thank you sincerely. My family loved it!
Bob did such a great job! He’s music was fantastic just perfect for my dad’s 80’s
Thank you!!!
Booking Bob you will get a very talented accordion player. He played many German songs that entertained our party for hours. Good communications and let me suggest family favorites.
This was for my parents 50th wedding anniversary, it was absolutely perfect in every way and he played a lot of fun music! Highly recommend. Thank you very much Bob!
Bob was great. Our small backyard Octoberfest was a hit with the live accordion music. Bob waited in his car patiently till our guests were seated for dinner and played entertaining dinner background music. After dinner engaging music for the chicken dance and more. Bob was a really great addition to our event and I will have him back next year
Bob was communicative and professional. His music added just the right touch to my son’s festive Octoberfest themed wedding. I could hear the music as we arrived at the venue. Thank you Bob.
I highly recommend Bob. He played great music and was an absolute pleasure. I highly recommend him!
Response from Bob Noel:
I had a great time at your Octoberfest party. Your home and grounds were beautiful and your guests were very friendly and appreciative.
Bob was wonderful! Will use him again!
Bob was great he played as long as my mother was able to tolerate as she is in the last stages of stage 4 breast cancer. Very thankful as my grandfather used to play and she wanted to hear the accordion one last time.

I play both a traditional acoustic accordion and a digital accordion. With the digital accordion, I add orchestral sounds such as trumpet, trombone, sax, clarinet, violins, strings, mandolin, guitar, piano, organ, vibes, bass and many more to enhance the accordion sounds depending on the style of music to be played.
I play a wide variety of styles; German, French, Italian, Irish, music standards from the 20s to the 70s, big band, Dixieland and more.
