We are so pleased with the piano playing at our memorial service. The songs he played were great, the noise level perfect and he was very sensitive to pausing at appropriate times (during toasts and speeches etc)
Highly recommend!
Response from Overboard Stride Society:
Katie, thank you so much for your kind words, and also the five star review. It was an honor to be part of your beautiful memorial service.
Thank you again,
Oliver
Overboard Stride Society
We hired Oliver from Overboard Stride Society for a private holiday party this year. Working with Oliver, from the first contact all the way through the event, was a pleasure. He happily accommodated our special song requests we wanted played, he joined in the fun to welcome Santa Claus when he made a surprise visit to the party. We definitely recommend!

Overboard Stride Society is the perfect way to set the atmosphere for your event, whether providing background music and ambience, or as the main feature. With years of experience "reading the room" so to speak, we have the ability to cater our music to provide a dynamic and professional performance for most any occasion.
Overboard Stride Society was founded by pianist Oliver Blatt. With a love of ragtime, stride, and all things feel-good music, Oliver has performed across the country, including Las Vegas, New York City, Washington DC and more. With training in both Piano Performance and Theatre Arts, his unique skill-set allows him to effortlessly provide entertainment for a wide variety of events.
While a real live upright or grand piano that is in tune is always wonderful, we are able to provide our own keyboard and sound amplification. All we need is enough space to set up and a suitable power supply for sound.
