Photo of The Joshua Silbert Combo The Joshua Silbert Combo "We were thrilled to have your music make our Gala such a fun event! Thank you so much!" Based in Indianapolis (926 miles from Austin) 3rd November 2026 Shelia Carlson, Director of Corporate & Volunteer Partnerships Gleaners Food Bank of Indiana - Gleaners Annual Fundraiser Gala Photo of Gary Strickland Gary Strickland "Gary has done a few events for me as I am a club advisor to students in college. I would say he is all about performing arts, except for the fact that he is just as good with customer service, and interactions on a business level! If he says he'll do something, he follows through with absolute professionalism. Mr. Strickland has been a solo performer on the trumpet, a singer, an EMCEE, a set designer , a professional photographer and crowd pleaser. Should anything unexpected happen, he has the experience and sharp reactions to handle a burgeoning situation without a hitch. I wish I had the time to simply listen to Gary perform outside of the venues for which I have hired him.

Soon as I talked to him I knew he was the right person for this special event. He definitely provided a memorable night and was the highlight of the party. I would recommend him without any reservations and can't wait to see him perform again." Based in Los Angeles, California (1,225 miles from Austin) Ayaz B - Birthday Celebration Photo of Elegant Piano: Cocktail, Jazz & Pop Elegant Piano: Cocktail, Jazz & Pop "A wonderful experience with Jay. He was so responsive when we first contacted him about our event in Stonington CT (a birthday party for my mother with approx. 40 guests at the La Grua Center), and his repertoire spanned all of the types of music were were looking for (jazz, classical, some show tunes). His playing was just so lovely at the event. A pleasure to meet him and have him join this event. My mother was so thrilled and it made her birthday very special. Many thanks to Jay. Highest recommendation." Based in Manhattan, New York (1,515 miles from Austin) 31st March 2026 Wendy Waszmer - Cocktail, Jazz & Pop Piano (Jay Noble)
