Jim was great for our holiday party. He came with everything he needed and even though we didn’t have a sing-along, the feedback from the guests was that he was absolutely wonderful.

So happy we were able to find Jim. He played our wedding and was able to even stay longer then expected. He really went above and beyond and we will never forget it. Thank you, Jim.

Jim was awesome playing the accordion and signing Italian songs for our Bocce ball party! He has a great voice, our guests really enjoyed him and he came dressed for the part! Definitely would hire him again.

Jim is talented and friendly. We had Jim playing old music like “The Platters” at my father-in-laws memorial reception. He was able to play everything we asked and more. One thing that was important for us, given the situation, was how well he was able to determine all of the appropriate music for the circumstance with really very little direction from us. We loved his style, his voice, and all his music selections. My husband and I both said we would absolutely use him again for another event. He was reasonably priced and super easy to communicate with. Great job Jim. Thank you!

My family and I were so very pleased to have Jimmy participate in our special event. He was entertaining and affable. His repertoire of music is extensive. His personality is more than pleasant. Jim interacted well with young and old alike. In a short while, we embraced him as part of our family. We look forward to our next gig together. We highly recommend Jim to all, for all occasions!

Jim turned our party from good to great! His piano playing was exceptional and his people skills even better! He provided nice background music early on and later it turned into a sing along! Everyone from 82 year old grandma to our young ones from Brooklyn enjoyed the evening! I am looking for a good excuse to have another party so we can have Jim back to play!!

Jim strolled my daughter's wedding cocktail hour playing and singing Italian folk, Zorba the Greek, Sinatra standards etc with the Accordion.
He has a nice classic voice especially for Sinatra songs. He did Elton John "Tiny Dancer" for my two girls as a special request.
My guests were very impressed and happy for the experience. Hats off to you Jim!

Jim was a hit at the Sunday afternoon birthday party for my other half. He played what I asked (Broadway, Beatles, etc.) and even took song requests from guests. He was easy-going and also kept in touch with me before the event. Jim is a true, experienced professional, and we won't soon forget the joy of live music he brought to us all.

My family and I highly recommend Jim! We hired him to provide piano music and vocals for our Mom's Celebration of Life at Carlton Oaks Country Club. Jim was responsive and helpful before the event, agreeing to a zoom call with the family beforehand to get on the same page. He was flexible and cooperative when we asked him to collaborate with a family friend during the memorial part of the service. On the day of... Jim arrived early, was respectful during memorial, lively during the celebration and performed every song we had on our wish list. A+ Jim!
Jim, thank you so much for being with us in our wedding day. You did an amazing job and really went above and beyond. You even learned a new song for us in a matter of days. We really appreciate you and if we ever have any kind of events in the future, we will be sure to think of you. Thanks again!
I would highly recommend Jim Bianchi and his group that played for us on Sunday, December 19th at the Country Club of Rancho Bernardo. Jim checked out our venue ahead of time, was timely with correspondence, and the Christmas music was wonderful! A good time was had by all and I would highly recommend him as a solo player or with a group!
Jim was great, he fulfilled everyone's song request, did a wardrobe change to switch up the music, lots of people dancing to his music, he ended up knowing the caterer and stayed late until the last song was sung. We even did a conga line, so much fun! Thank you Jim!
Jim was great! He strolled through cocktail hour playing and singing. Our guests loved it.
Accordion Player
Jim was personable, played the accordion and sang fun music, just as I requested. He engaged the audience and got them singing along. I have had many compliments on the surprise of inviting Jim to my husband's birthday party and he definitely got everyone in a joyful mood. He played requested songs and even was able to play some French songs so my granddaughter could sing along.

Exceptionally professional, outstanding musician, interacted wonderfully with the evening crowd. Played and sang so many favorites. Talented and greatly appreciated. Exactly what we had hoped for and more. 60 attendees at a French Themed Birthday Party and his music made the entire evening special. Looking forward to having him again in the future.

He was even better in person. Our surprisingly hot and humid day didn't slow Jim down. He looked great, showing up early and leaving late. He took requests and every song sounded amazing. Thank you Jim!!!

Jim did a great job for our Italian themed dinner. He strolled among the tables singing, playing and even taking requests. He also dressed the part, looked like he had just stepped off his gondola.
