Joseph played at our Oktoberfest event on Oct. 24. He was very professional, dressed in costume, was prompt / on-time, and overall, played beautifully. His accordion and vocals added a lot of fun and excitement to the Oktoberfest event we had. THANK YOU, Joseph.

Joseph arrived promptly and prepared to set up his equipment. Bringing a bit of Paris in his dress, he welcomed the wedding guests to the reception line with a pre chosen selection of folk and favourite melodies. His singing prompted others to sing along as they queued to meet the bride and groom. Thank you Joseph
Joseph was incredible and very talented. He performed great Italian music for our party and also sang while performing on the accordion. Was very polite and professional. Would highly recommend his services if you’re looking for classic Italian music and accordion playing. Very pleased with how the night went. Thank you so much Joseph, we really appreciated it.
Response from Joseph Landau:
It was my pleasure to perform. Thank you for your review!
Always a pleasure working with Joseph. He was so easy going, punctual and so engaging.
Can’t wait to have to back
Joseph was a wonderful addition at our Parisian themed birthday party. He had prepared French cafe music and sang along as we gathered and started our evening. He was there with time to spare and played the full time we paid for. I highly recommend him.
Response from Joseph Landau:
Thank you very much Marg.
It was my pleasure to play for your family, especially as I love to play this type of music.
I booked Joseph for my husband's 50th birthday party. His communication was excellent on time and very personable. The kids absolutely loved him and he was engaging with all them and also let them hold his accordion. I would highly recommend Joseph for your event.
Response from Joseph Landau:
Thank you Antonietta,
It was so fun to get to play to children with such a strong appreciation of music.
Blessings and success to your family

Thank you very much Amy
What a pleasure to have Joseph added to our select talent. He arrived early, he is so pleasant and his performance was great. He read the audience and was funny. He connected with staff and I was so happy to know those in the aid who spoke Yiddish were appreciative of the diversity of talent.
Happy to bring him back.

Hi Kate,
Thanks for your kind words! It was my pleasure to help celebrate your special day with you and your family.
