Thank you, Emile, I really appreciate the hospitality from your family and guests. I had a great time, and I am looking forward to meeting you again. Warm regards, Morgan
On Saturday evening, my living room became the Cafe' Carlyle, the famous Carlyle Hotel...and Bobby Short , the famous pianist that played there for over 30 years, was the guest pianist...or so it seemed. From classics like As Time Goes By, to current music by Maroon 5, our guests were entertained with the finest of "keymanship"....and the mood was set to celebrate life at its best (even for a little while). Morgan Bouldin is a beautiful musician....with composure, style, and an amazing talent to bring one's piano to life, the very second he sits at it.
I am very hopeful to invite him back for an evening during the upcoming holidays.....it would be a very "cool Yule" if he could return.
Book him!

Dear Peter, you are so kind! Wow, we all had a great time, it is such a pleasure to perform for quintessential "music lovers". I didn't want to stop, Lou Rawls recorded a famous song entitled "Groovy People", that is how I felt around such a gracious and appreciative group. The Cafe Carlyle was bouncing with beautiful vibes and warmth. Next time I will certainly have "The Way We Were" and anything else you desire ready to go. Much love to you all ❤️❤️
Mr. Bouldin provided a beautiful accompaniment for our cellist and made our wedding so much more special. He beautifully played "Married Life" from Up as I walked down the aisle, and it was nothing short of magical. I cannot recommend him enough to others for their weddings or other events, you will not regret it! Forever grateful!
We highly recommend Mr. Bouldin. His musical style and vibe were perfect for our small family celebration and we look forward to booking him for future occasions.

Ayanna thank you so much for inviting me, the ambience was warm and relaxing and the food was great. It was a pleasure to perform your theme song "My Favorite Things" which greatly animated the party. What more can you ask for, great friends, family and music. Warm regards, to both you and your husband for being gracious and endearing hosts.
Morgan is pleasant, professional, and punctual! But more importantly, he is an outstanding pianist and all of our Residents and Guests loved him. He elevated our Thanksgiving Family Dinners at our Senior Living Community to Top Notch events with his gift of music. Morgan played a beautiful variety of music that had the families smiling and reminiscing together! We will definitely be inviting Morgan back again and again! Thank you Morgan!

Morgan is an exceptional professional pianist, and he was a joy to have at our wedding reception at La Colombe d'Or in Houston. Morgan arrived early dressed in a sharp black tuxedo and customized his set list beautifully to fit the occasion. We just love his music, and our family and friends did too. Thank you Morgan!
