WINNER of "Baltimore's Got Talent" ~ Vocalist of the Year! Jim has performed in: Community Theatre, Children & Adult Dinner Theatre, East Coast Tours, Radio, TV, Street Performer, Cruise Ships, Corporate/Private & House Parties, Retirement Living, Weddings and many others. Jim has even performed for dignitaries.
Jim's music is appealing to all ages, hence it has been said, "...that Jim is a performer for the people". You will quickly see why, as he pays tribute to all the GREATS, such as Tony Bennett, Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole and Sammy Davis Jr. to name just a few.
Along with being a GOOD SINGER, Jim is also very engaging with his audience on & off stage.
He did 4 stops in one day for us. He was a great sport. Everyone loved him.
Response from Jim The Entertainer:
Awe Thank You VERY Much Kelli, for those kind words and the 5 Star Review! It was my pleasure to bring joy to the Birthday Ladies and the others, during the "Stay At Home Order" for the CoronaVirus-19.
Jim did a wonderful job performing at my mom’s 80th birthday luncheon. He engaged with the crowd, paid special attention to the birthday girl, and is a wonderful singer. Everyone loved it! Definitely worth it.
Response from Jim The Entertainer:
Awe your Mom is a sweetheart and what an awesome party you threw for her and her friends. It was a pleasure working with you Anne on the plans, for this VERY Special Occasion. Thank You again for the $40.00 cash tip! ;)
Great job, Jim, arriving on time to sing for my father on his 80th birthday. I was not there but the reviews say that Jim has a "beautiful" voice and was great at engaging the crowd.
Response from Jim The Entertainer:
Awe. Thank You so much for those kind words, John, along with the 5 Star rating. I was honored to be a small part of your dad's special day!
Jim is excellent. He has a large repertoire of songs, is extremely personable, and was a 100% crowd pleaser.
David Henkin
Wonderful and poised ,talented and nice
Funny 😂
The crowd loved him
Response from Jim The Entertainer:
Awe, what a Beautiful Family and Friends... thanks also Cecily, for those kind word and 5 STARS!
Jim was great to work with even in short notice and his busy schedule and he traveled farther then i thought he would recommend jim to anyone and would Def use him again
Response from Jim The Entertainer:
Thank You Randy for my VERY FIRST 4 out of 5 STARS... even though I'm accustomed to receiving 5 STARS! Anyway, it was a pleasure working with you and meeting your girl friend, hope "I did the trick" for your situation ~ BUT maybe that's why I didn't receive 5 STARS.... which is honestly NOT in my control and I never make promises of how the recipient will receive ~ but MOST I'd say are enthralled with my Performance and I believe she was on this Gig as well.
All The Best,
JTE
P.S. Please know (potential clients), this was a VERY LATE booking, which I'm accustomed to and I tweeked making even a couple of changes/addition for Randy, the night before... AFTER payment was made ~ that MOST other Entertainers would have not done OR charged extra for, especially since within about 12 hours of the gig. So, this should show that I'm all about pleasing the client and I work for my 5 STARS.... BUT not to be taken advantage of, as everyone should be respected. I treat every client, as if they are the only client!
P.P.S. Randy, no hard feelings, but I don't know what else I could have done... a Day notice and squeezed you in, worked with you through "numerous" texts and phone calls, ADDED "at no additional cost" a 3rd song (after payment), drove 3 hours Round Trip ~ I don't know what you were dissatisfied with, to warrant only 4 stars?
P.P.P.S. Well, I don't take myself too serious, BUT I do take my business serious. As the saying goes, you can't please everybody and I'm sure Randy, you know that from being a Mechanic and working a family business!
He was patient and thorough especially with the location and set up. He has a wonderful voice! Will definitely refer him!
Response from Jim The Entertainer:
Awe Thank You Barb, for those kind words and 5 STAR rating. I must say, it was a pleasure getting to know YOU & your family and friends ~ what a FUN bunch!
Jim's performance was superb and outstanding! He was Mom's Best Mother's Day gift. He sang "Only You" and "Mona Lisa" with such soul. Such a professional and compassionate entertainer. I would recommend him for any event. He even threw in a surprise song I didn't expect him to sing. And it was my mother's favorite song. Such a genuine and kind man. He made her day extra special. Thank you, Jim!
Response from Jim The Entertainer:
Thank you VERY much Linnay for those Kind words and 5 STAR rating.
What a pleasure to meet AND perform for your lovely family in such an intimate setting... your Mom's bedroom ~ what a STRONG woman! May God Bless you Linnay, your mom and the rest of your family all the days of your lives.
Musically yours,
JTE
Jim provided a great show for my Mom's 92nd birthday. He was engaging and funny and has a great voice. Very personable and professional. I recommend him highly. My Mom danced and had a great time. She will be talking about this for weeks. Total success!
Response from Jim The Entertainer:
Thank you VERY much Earl for this 5 STAR Rating and the Photo ~ Pleasure was all mine.
I must say, your Mom is AMAZING. I told her I hope to perform for her 100th Birthday Party and one of her friends said, why not for her 95th! Also the "venue" wants to book me, so we'll see.
Once again Earl, I enjoyed meeting you by phone a few days ago, and your sisters and family yesterday!
Amazing night, so glad to have Jim show up and add tremendous value to our evening!!!!
Response from Jim The Entertainer:
Awe Thank You so much Jason for this WONDERFUL review and the 5 Stars!
It was my Privilege to perform for your 16th Wedding Anniversary at the Chart House in Annapolis, MD and not to mention, a Pleasure to meet you and your "VERY Sweet" wife Sharon.
Here's wishing you & Sharon MANY more Happy & Healthy years together!
Musically yours,
Jim
I hired Jim the Entertainer for my friend Debbie's 50th surprise birthday party in Nov 2016. This guy! Where do I even begin? For starters, Jim the Entertainer was willing and able to work with me on ridiculously short notice (still so sorry about that, Jim!) Even with short notice, he was exceedingly patient and spent a great deal of time working with me on every detail of what I wanted him to do for his show. He was an excellent listener, and quickly grasped my conceptual idea; AND he also suggested several great ideas and things I hadn't even thought of that were added in. He is an excellent listener and meticulously detailed, which is EXACTLY what you want from an entertainer you hire a show! Thanks to his experience, caring and attention to detail, we were able to nail down the particulars pretty well even with the short notice. As if that wasn't enough, he was also willing to change up his schedule so that he could accommodate the 2-hr drive to and from Milford, DE. You won't find a nicer, more detail-oriented, professional and accommodating entertainer than Jim!
With all of that, his show was of course a HUGE hit! Jim did a little bit of roasting my 50yo bestie, a little audience-appropriate comedy, a little improv, and a lot of what he does best: beautiful crooning! Jim even shared the mic with a couple people who wanted to say a few words about Deb on her 50th birthday. Jim's beautiful singing and his versatility were a big hit with the crowd and really helped make the party lively, fun and very special. I heard back from several people about how much they loved his show and his singing. But most importantly, Debbie loved it all so much! Jim went above and beyond to make my friend's 50th birthday so very, very special and memorable. If you're looking for a wonderful, highly-experienced singer with a witty, fun, positive personality, who will go to great lengths to ensure his performance is professional and exactly to your specifications, I highly recommend Jim the Entertainer!
Response from Jim The Entertainer:
WOW... you take my breath away Kris, I am so Humbled with your Extensive Complementary words in your review of my services - from our first conversation all the way through the event itself. I should have you write my eulogy.
I must also return "the praises" to you. I've worked with MANY different kinds of people, but I must admit, Kris you were a JOY to work with ~ even if it was on short notice, you kept your cool and made it an Absolute Pleasure and Truly all my Honor by respecting my opinions and suggestions with my many years of experience.
Looking forward to working with you in the near future Kris,
Jim
P.S. Thank You for the 5 Stars as well.
We wanted a unique way to welcome our clients into their new office as well as wish them happy holidays. We decided that a singing telegram was an unforgettable way to do both as well as make an impression on some of the extended team. The time spent working with Jim and coordinating the details was much appreciated. He took the time to call and clarify questions and made sure we were on agreement before everything was finalized. As a result, the clients LOVED him and sent videos of the performance. Thank you!!
Response from Jim The Entertainer:
Awe Thank You so VERY much for those kind words Jaquelyn, you were a "pleasure" to work with AND your clients were a WONDERFUL audience!
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year,
JTE
I can't say enough about the great evening Jim created! He carefully choreographed a fun 50th birthday evening for my sister and guests aged 4-77. Hire him if you want all your guests to be engaged and entertained!
Response from Jim The Entertainer:
Awe, Thank You so very much for those kind words AND 5 Stars Christie, it was my pleasure to perform for such a "fun LOVING family" and their friends!
Jim was such a pleasure to have perform at my Grandmother's 90th Birthday celebration! He is not only entertaining but very engaging with his audience. We certainly will be calling Jim again in the near future for our holiday parties!!
Jim was great, I planned a last minute shindig, to embarrass my ol lady. And he came through! Provided the much needed element of surprise and embarrassment of a singing telegram. He was very thorough. This memory will live on for her and myself, as well as all her co workers for years to come!! Thank you Jim! If you want talent and pure entertainment Jim the entertainer is your man!
Jim's talents made for a perfect birthday surprise for my wife and small children. He was flexible and easy to work with, as I booked a few days prior to the date. The pricing was accurate and fair, and Jim was very prompt. He came out to my house and surprised my wife and children, and everyone loved it. He is a great singer and entertainer, was wonderful with the children, and we even added a song on the fly since everything was going so well. My wife agreed that it was one of the the most memorable birthdays she had ever had, and loved every minute of it. Thanks Jim for the great work, and we look forward to using you again some day down the road for a larger event!
Response from Jim The Entertainer:
Awe, THANK YOU Erik for those very kind words and it was my pleasure, meeting & performing for such an intimate, appreciative audience. I must say, what a beautiful family you have and it would be a privilege to perform for you again!
I would be re-miss, not to mention, my deep appreciation for the $40.00 cash tip!
Jim The Entertainer provided the best Mother's Day trio of songs to make my Mom a very happy gal. She is confined to a wheelchair in a Senior Living Center and music is the best part of her life these days. Jim had great song suggestions with a little personal touch added to each to make it special for Mom. He did a great job of adapting to the other people that were around in the living room with my Mom. It was the highlight of her day and it was all she could talk about for the rest of the day as grandchildren were calling in to say hi. Thanks Jim!
A friend of ours in Richmond was being given a surprise retirement party. We live near Philadelphia. We couldn't be there in person but wanted to be a part of her special evening. So we asked Jim if he could do a singing telegram. Well....Jim took "singing telegram" to a whole new level!!! He set us up on a a 3 way call so we could share in the event, like totally interactive. He put together a medley of favorite songs and his transitioning was flawless. He even helped us script the 'event'! What a fun and special way to celebrate with our friend. Thank you Jim! When we have another event....we'll be calling you!
Jim provided a wonderful show for my mother's 90th birthday party. A very private event, Jim found a way to engage with most of the relatives and, in particular, Mom who laughed, cried and was encouraged to dance. While I was not present I hear that Jim found ways of bringing a huge degree of personal touch with stories and songs, and jokes and jibes. An overall excellent success!
I requested Jim to do a Singing Telegram for my mother's birthday. Jim coordinated with me over the phone and through gigsalad to get all the detail precise. He showed up on time, and performed all the songs I requested. In addition, he sang a song that he had never sung before and performed excellent. He also through in an extra song as well. He is a true entertainer and a gentleman. Thanks JIm!
Response from Jim The Entertainer:
Thank you so very much Timothy, for those kind words and I must say it was my pleasure conversing with you (in Singapore) and not too mention, meeting your beautiful family. In addition, thank you and your brother Peter, for the $40.00 cash tip!
Musically yours,
JTE
What a great job Jim did for our mom's 88th birthday! She loved the songs he sang and how me made her feel special. She was impressed by his talent and sincerity. He was early and called ahead of time to confirm. She said that she would remember this for a very long time. So glad we found him!!
Response from Jim The Entertainer:
Michelle, thank you for those kind words.... but know, the pleasure was all mine. What a wonderful family!
Jim did a wonderful performance for my best friend's 40th birthday. I found him to be very professional, helpful in song selection and a person of integrity in their work. I strongly recommend him to anyone interested in hiring a professional for a singing telegram.
I have had the pleasure of seeing Jim perform many times on some of the finest cruise lines in the world. I am fortunate to have been able to work with Jim for several years on the high seas.
He is a true professional and has a real passion for his talent!
Response from Jim The Entertainer:
New Feature (I can reply) ~ Wow, they're some Really KIND words Mitch and I must say with all honesty, the feelings are mutual..... honored to have shared the stage with you!
Jim arrived at our event on time wearing appropriate attire. He was prepared with his music and got started right away. Everyone
ejoyed his selection of songs at our event. If we ever have an occasion to
invite him back, we wouldn't hesitate.
