Reviews of Banjo Players available in New York

5/5 from 20 reviews
Photo of Stephen Kleiman Guitar Mandolin Banjo Uke Stephen Kleiman Guitar Mandolin Banjo Uke "Stephen Kleiman was a great addition to our MusicMan Camp Pro Sessions this year! He coordinated with me promptly about how to integrate his session into our camp curriculum -- and was very flexible about performing in a gym rather than our usual auditorium! The campers loved learning about the banjo and mandolin and found it interesting and applicable to their harmonic camp sessions on ukulele and guitar. Excellent performance and patience in working with young musicians! Thank you Stephen!" Based in Exton, Pennsylvania (97 miles from New York) Jen Schoener - Schoener MusicMan Academy Photo of Dunlap and Mabe Dunlap and Mabe "I watched their promo video and thought this band would be a great fit for our community gathering. My main job is in concert audio, and I work with bands every week. I've done high main stream bands and garage bands, Robert Mabe put on a performance that was breath taking amazing. His band's sound was like nothing anyone has heard, our audience was silent with anticipation of the band's next musical note. Before the show was over city officials asked me for their contact info to bring them in for next year's fair concert. This band is worth 10 times what they charge. They are the real deal and will blow away your audience. And yes we're bringing them back." Based in Winchester, Virginia (244 miles from New York) Joshua B. - Concert Photo of The Irish Wedding Trad Trio The Irish Wedding Trad Trio "Brilliant Trio! Hired them for a corporate event and was delighted with their performance - everyone had a good time. Appreciated their responsiveness and friendliness prior to the event. Would 100% recommend." Based in Athy, Leinster, Ireland (3,155 miles from New York) 11th March 2026 Maureen - Corporate Event - Guinness Storehouse Photo of Alberto Aperi One man band Alberto Aperi One man band "Mesmerizing, captivating, and utterly enchanting! Alberto 's musical performance was an absolute delight to behold. From the moment he stepped onto the stage, his passion and talent shone brightly, filling the room with an electrifying energy. The seamless blend of technical skill and heartfelt expression left a lasting impression on everyone fortunate enough to witness it. Bravo, Alberto for a truly unforgettable performance that touched the soul and lifted the spirits!"

Looking forward to the next gig!"

Additionally, he was an amazing performer who accompanied me when I performed my song."
