Chris can really do anything, he has played a couple shows for us, one year it was more pop hits/classics and it was a hug crowd pleaser with lots of dancing, this past show was more older hits and he even threw in a dance lesson in the middle to get everyone doing the Charleston, it was another big hit. He is socially in tune and great at reading the crowd and communicating with everyone. He's really quite impressive and with classical training his skill on the piano is a rare find.
Response from Chris Jordan:
Thanks for the awesome review! You guys threw a great party and made it easy for me to just be myself and have fun. Glad you enjoyed the dance lesson as well lol!
Not only is Chris an insanely talented pianist, but he's also highly professional and a complete joy to work with. He was very communicative in the days leading up to our event, arrived promptly, and played beautifully all evening. I loved how he played a mix of holiday tunes, R&B classics, and a few newer aged songs - his song list really seemed limitless and he had our guests vibing all night long. Cannot recommend Chris enough!
I was flying out of Sea-tax airport today- feeling sad and stressed. Late for my flight and having an overall pretty crappy day. I heard this beautiful music while I was grabbing a quick bite (had not eaten today) and immediately sat down to listen to more. I almost missed my flight as I was hooked. He played some of my very favorite songs/ music. Songs from my beloved dad’s memorial. Songs I sing to my kids. My happy music. I was deeply touched. Chris made my day and I’m truly thankful to have discovered him on this gloomy day. I will be hiring him for a party next year. He’s s gift.
