Response from James Michael Day:
Thanks Jeff, that was a great group of folks! Happy holidays and I wish you much success in the new year!
James was amazing. He was early, set up and got the party started! His large knowledge of all kinds of music was a hit!! He was so very nice and accommodating...I would definitely recommend him and if I plan another event that requires music, in a heart beat I would reach out to James. Such a great experience..we all had a great time!!!
Response from James Michael Day:
Thank you for your review 🎶😊!! That was a fun event, you were very accommodating and helpful. Merry Christmas!
James was so helpful throughout the whole wedding! He was so nice & went out of his way to run things smoothly. He even had a flat tire & still came to our event! He kept people dancing & remembered many song requests we had put in!
Response from James Michael Day:
Thanks for having me at your beautiful event. Best of luck in the future!
I booked James for my husband's 50th birthday at our home, and sent him a list of my husband's favorite songs. James was super communicative and accomodating. He came with his speaker/microphone (we have a piano already) and played for 2 hours. It was amazing! He has a fantastic voice, and got all our friends singing to the music. We would definitely book him again, it was such a fun evening!!
Response from James Michael Day:
Thank you for the review!! Your party was super fun and everyone was singing their hearts out!! I’d love to play for you again.
James was amazing. We had a blast. He is a very good singer long with a great pianist.. everyone enjoyed. Thank you for making our evening so memorable.
Response from James Michael Day:
Thanks for the review!! I had a great time with all of you. I hope to party again with you I the future!
What a wonderful experience! James has been very responsive and accommodating throughout the entire process. He is a versed pianist with an impressive repertoire. I hired him for a house party with guests in their 30s and 40s all of whom thoroughly enjoyed his music and asked where can one find such a talented pianist. He read us well, started with background piano music while guests arrived so we can carry our conversations and later switched to different voice and piano covers, from his excelent Elton John covers to very upbeat songs that kept us dancing. He even accommodated requests on the spot. Will definitely hire him again!
James was an absolute joy to have as a karaoke DJ/piano player/singer at my birthday party! He played the best music, orchestrated the karaoke, sang, and played piano and my guests loved him. His set-up is amazing and you can sing just about any song you like. He knows all of the words and tunes to the songs so he can help out when the singers get a bit off! I would absolutely recommend him for your party and am already thinking about having another party just so he can be there!
Response from James Michael Day:
Thank you for having me for your Birthday party, what a great night with great people. You guys were super fun and I hope you will use me again in the future. Feel free to pass on my info to your friends. Thanks so much for the review and see you next time!!
I've used James Michael Day, Mikey Day, to record, produce, sing and mix over twenty songs to date. He is fantastic. Very professional, he will listen as to where your going with a song and then will work together with you to come up with something quite lovely. Check out the music of the Eclectic Songwriters Society (ESS) at their website, Spotify, Youtube and more to hear his work. Considering I write music for a hobby (not really professional), it is amazing what he can do for just a simple song. I recommend him for Production, Audio Engineering, Singing, Musicianship and just support. He's a great friend now. Go Sharks!
I was looking for a singing pianist to perform at my mother’s Catholic funeral. I had been referred to the two choirs at the church but no one returned my call. Thank God for GigSalad because without them I would have never found James Michel Day. The church is very strict about what type of music can be performed during a service, it had to be only Christian music. and he was very helpful in suggesting song selections. He showed up an hour early and brought his own sound equipment. Thank God he did because the maintenance person responsible for setting up the sound system called in sick. The church office person did not know anything and she got someone else who only set up the priest's microphone but not the musician. James was dressed professionally in a dark suit and he played beautifully. Everyone was impressed and said it was one of the most beautiful services they had ever attended. This could not have been accomplished without James Michel Day and I'm grateful my mom had a beautiful service.
Um, can't I rate someone 10 stars?? I can't recommend James enough. His talent is off the charts. He brought much needed life to our party. When I was checking out his demo videos, I wasn't convinced his profile was real, he was that good. But I was not disappointed and neither were my guests. Everyone raved about "the piano player!" He can play any genre of music and takes all requests. There didn't seem to be anything he couldn't play! If you want a fun, friendly, professional, punctual, amazingly talented musician to liven up your gathering, hire James!!
Response from James Michael Day:
Thank you so much, it was an honor to be involved in a surprise party! For my first gig on gigsalad, I am extremely pleased!
Price Range: $400 and up
Gig Length: 10 - 600 minutes
Languages: English
The audience would see me do a solo piano/vocal show that focuses on crowd interaction and requests. I love to play songs that people ask for, it gets them excited and involved and keeps everyone engaged and having a great time! My experience at piano bars makes this a very easy thing for me.
James Michael Day has been playing live shows since the age of 8 when he had his first paying hotel gig! He has now been performing for 30+ years and has played over 5000 shows. He is the full time Organist for the San Jose Sharks NHL team and played at many great piano bars in SF, and regularly plays in Vegas and beyond. He knows over 2500 songs and can entertain any audience with his musical skills and genuine personality.
I am extremely simple, just need power! I provide the digital piano (grand piano shell optional), PA and all necessary equipment.
