Crooner Dean Johnson transports your guests, via musical time machine, back to the era of the radio and tv crooners. Dean has a vocal sound that's warm, dark and smoky, creating a rich old world hotel piano bar ambience to your cocktail hour, anniversary, or reunion. Dean's set list includes songs first made popular by Dean Martin, Tony Bennett, Nat King Cole and the young Frank Sinatra.
We loved Dean from the moment we booked him for our event which was a corporate customer event. He would be great at any celebration. Dean is dependable, trustworthy, reliable and very easy to work with. His piano skills are wonderful as is his singing. He wore attire to match the evening, mingled with guests and brought his own sound system. I have been doing special events for 25 years &. I would hire Dean again. He has a good heart.
