More than just a pianist, Glenn Kramer is an Entertainer! 🎹 🎵 🎶 🙏 😃
Whether you are searching for a pianist for your event, a Karaoke DJ, or a combination of both, Glenn has it covered. He takes special care and works with you to ensure that music exceeds your expectations. He is also available to livestream directly to your event.
Background music is just the beginning. If you’re interested in something more interactive, you can elevate your entertainment to “Music Bingo,” “All-Request Hour” or “Name That Tune!” Glenn can also provide Karaoke where your guests can sing along to a 44,000-song library while he performs live on the piano. No other pianist can do that.
Glenn was wonderful. He came in on time and was very professional in performing the requested songs. He even provided the background music to my video presentation about my wife. Thanks a lot, Glenn
Response from Glenn Kramer Piano and Karaoke Entertainment:
Hi Eryl, it was truly a pleasure to entertain at your piano for your wife's birthday party, what a special occasion it was! I was really delighted to play her favorite songs and take requests throughout the night. Your video slideshow presentation was wonderfully crafted, and I was happy to play her favorite songs while the video was playing to add a personalized touch!
Thanks again for this opportunity you gave me to share music with your close family members. Feel free to contact me again in the future if you'd like more music, or a Karaoke-style format where your family can sing.
Sincerely,
Glenn
We had blast! Glenn provided the atmosphere, music, lights and songs for all ages. The party crowd ranged from 25-75 and we all sang classics, hits, show tunes from different eras. He is a professional and yet fun & very personable. I would recommend and book him again!

We had a great experience with Glenn! He made a baby shower very memorable and classy. Glenn is talented, professional and tons of fun.
Response from Glenn Kramer Piano and Karaoke Entertainment:
Colleen, I simply loved every moment of your baby shower!! Thank you so much for allowing me the privilege of being your pianist for the evening. I was delighted to entertain—even social distance performing on your piano inside while everyone was eating and enjoying themselves outside. Please let me know if I can perform again for you in the future!
Warm regards, and have a happy and safe Halloween!
Glenn
Glenn is an absolute gem of a pianist! First and foremost, he has the most extensive and diverse request book out of any performer I've ever met. Compared to every other musician I've worked with, Glenn was hands down the easiest to work with in terms of getting the genre, style, and "mood" just right.
I told him the subgenre of jazz I was interested in and we talked a little about the mood I wanted to set. I was incredibly busy from the time he arrived to the time he wrapped up. But it didn't matter: from his attire to the song selection through the volume, everything was perfect. Do yourself a favor and hire Glenn!
Response from Glenn Kramer Piano and Karaoke Entertainment:
Thank you so much Lisa! It was a pleasure to perform for you and Jeremiah on this special day! It warms my heart to know the music was exactly what you were looking for. You were both also great to work with, and hope to see you both again in the future. Congratulations again for your beautiful wedding!
Glenn was great and provided the exact ambiance we wanted. Thanks, Glenn. Will book again!
Response from Glenn Kramer Piano and Karaoke Entertainment:
Thank you Jeff, I'm extremely happy the music was exactly what you were looking for! You were also a pleasure to perform for, and I hope we will connect again on a future event! Have a wonderful week ahead.
Best regards,
Glenn
Glen played the piano for my mother's celebration of life event, and it couldn't have gone better in any way.
Glen was professional, timely with his communication, intuitive to the flow of the event, friendly and respectful, and above all, the best pianist ever.
Would hire Glen again and again!

Enjoy your holiday season and thanks again!

My husband and I cannot recommend Glenn Kramer enough! Glenn worked closely with us on our wedding song requests, even learning some news ones we were keen on hearing. He responded almost instantaneously to all of our many questions and messages, and he was extremely professional and friendly to us and our wedding guests. Not only did he exceed all of our expectations, he even snuck in some AMAZING behind the scenes wedding photos in his downtime with his phone, that he later passed along to us. BOOK HIM!!!
Glenn - thank you again for everything, you are so talented and we loved having you play on our special day.
Response from Glenn Kramer Piano and Karaoke Entertainment:

It warms my heart to know that the music I performed for your wedding was exactly what you were looking for! You and your husband selected such wonderful pieces for me to play during Cocktail Hour, and I enjoyed playing piano for your celebration immensely. I'm glad you loved the photos I sent you as well :) It's always a pleasure working for great clients like yourself!! Keep me in mind again for any events in the future.
Best regards and Happy Holidays!

Glenn provided entertainment for a birthday party with a group of friends. Through his piano keyboard playing, sing-a-long facilitation, and leading a "name that tune" game, he transformed the evening into one of song, laughter and camaraderie. Fun, fun, fun! Thanks so much, Glenn!!

Thank you very much for the positive review! I always enjoy entertaining and the "Name that Tune" game with audience interaction was loads of fun. It was nice meeting you and being able to provide music to accompany the birthday celebration. I loved taking requests from all your guests!

Thank you so much, Sheryl, what a lovely review! I am very appreciative, and I'd love to play for your group next time you visit San Diego. It was a pleasure meeting you!
Best regards,
Glenn Kramer
This was for my mother-in-laws birthday party and we really wanted to make it very special. She loves live piano music and after many hours of searching I stumbled upon Glenn's listing her in GigSalad. I am so glad I did. He was very quick in communicating back to me and sent his enormous playlist to me right away. He can play just any genre you may be wanting and do it beautifully. He is the consummate professional and I can't imagine anyone regretting hiring him. I will surely do so again.
Response from Glenn Kramer Piano and Karaoke Entertainment:
Dan, thank you so much for the positive review! I am so grateful you chose me to be your pianist, it was truly an honor to perform and meet you and your family, and I would be delighted to play for you again anytime you are looking for entertainment. Have a beautiful holiday season and I wish you the best in the coming year!
