I really enjoyed having Tommy and Dave as entertainment for my wedding. I have received several unsolicited positive praises of the music. I had one person state that Tommy sounded better singing an Elton John song than Elton singing it.
Dueling Pianos
Professional and easy to work with plus the performance was what we were looking for the night. We had many compliments on the show.

Tommy was on time, learned the song, and performed it very well. I am very happy with this performer.
One Man Band
Tommy Lee Thompson was amazing! He was a great performer and my whole family really enjoyed his show. He included everyone in our small party helped us celebrate my grandparents anniversary and multiple birthday parties. Would highly recommend!
Elton John Impersonator, Pianist
Tommy Lee arrived early and was a consummate Pro thru the night. He interacted well with guests of all ages and was Very engaging. Of course his piano playing was Top notch as He encouraged Sing alongs and played a long line Of top Hits from Years Past from Elvis to Elton. He also filled our home with beautiful and joyous Holiday classics. We will use Tommy Lee again!
Pianist
Tommy's Dueling Piano show was absolutely phenomenal. I feel as though we hit the lucky lottery to have been given the opportunity to book Tommy for our private event as his calendar was booked solid so far in advance. I couldn't believe that THIS Nationally known Piano guy was going to be performing at MY party. Tommy's on line video's were telling of what a top notch quality of a show to expect, and he certainly did not disappoint. Tommy's professionalism, kindness as a person, good character and punctuality was exceptional as well. Tommy and his Dueling Piano Co Player Dave were a hoot as they had all of my guests singing and dancing as these guys know how to put on a show, greatest day ever! I highly recommend!
Dueling Pianos
Tommy Lee provided a great 2 hour show that reflected the age and music tastes of the audience. He is a highly accomplished and talented piano player / singer / performer. His incredibly extensive song list cuts across many musical genres and will fit perfectly with many different types of audiences. In person, he is easy to talk to and a down to earth person. I would enthusiastically book him again when the opportunity presents itself in the future. A word to the wise - book Tommy Lee as early as possible since his talents are well known and he is quite popular, especially in the northern Ohio area.

Tommy stepped in at the last minute for my brother's memorial service. Our first pianist bailed on us and I was stuck! Tommy said there was no problem and worked with our vocalist for the service. Together they made his memorial very special. Later, I received so many comments about the music and how lovely it was. Thank God for Tommy Lee because I really was in a bind. Not only is Tommy a wonderful performer, but his personality and warmth really shine. Do not hesitate to hire him because if you do, you'll be getting the best! Thank You Tommy Lee!!
Keyboard Player
Excellent communication, arrived early, really nice setup and equipment with lights and fancy white piano. Played non-stop and interacted with the party goers. Took requests and even played a song that was requested that he never played before on the piano. Can’t say enough about how much fun Tommy Lee made our event. Can’t wait to have him play for us again.

Tommy was asked to play piano for my mother’s memorial service on rather short notice and he really came through! He was thoroughly professional and played hymns and accompanied a vocalist. He even played the hymns in a changed key to make it easier for the vocalist. He also “did his homework” and reviewed the list of hymns that were chosen.
I trust him as a musician and as a conscientious person!

Everybody had fun listening to Tommy sing classic piano-man songs and some wedding songs! Thank you so much Tommy!
