Miss Julie Bryce "Wow, I love it! It’s a wild ride and sometimes it seems to be laughing at the listener… then there are the boats of jazzy pillows that carry you across the rapids. Very cool" Based in Knoxville, Tennessee (358 miles from Wilmington) Lydia Nicole - Private

Rokstedy "Piano bar every night on Carnival Paradise and Carnival Dream. No place else I’d rather be on a cruise with the talent of Rok. What a great performer" Based in Atlanta, Georgia (371 miles from Wilmington) 29th January 2026 Traci

Paul Cohen Piano "Paul was great! He was accommodating when we asked him to play a custom song for our wedding ceremony and his personal jazz music was perfect for our cocktail hour. He was quick to respond to our emails and was the most professional vendor we worked with, we highly recommend him!." Based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (444 miles from Wilmington) Tom C.

Cold Weather Company "I can't say enough wonderful things about Cold Weather Company! Steve was my primary contact and he responded to every email promptly. He answered yes to all requests. The band arrived on time and agreed to stay for a late night acoustic set. They were consummate professionals. The music is why we chose the band, and it was amazing & beautiful to hear live. They were the perfect blend of background music that you really want to stop your conversation to listen to, however their cover of Let It Be was so moving, it silenced the room. We could not have chosen better for our fundraiser, all 150 guests were entertained! We are still hearing rave reviews." Based in New Brunswick, New Jersey (473 miles from Wilmington) Christine P. - Corporate Event

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 (503 miles from Wilmington) 31st March 2026 Wendy Waszmer - Cocktail, Jazz & Pop Piano (Jay Noble)

Dusty Knapp "Dusty is missed not only by me but by the countless music lovers from his home area who loved hearing a real pro. I do not hesitate in recommending Dusty Knapp for any and every situation needed." Based in Nashville, Tennessee (517 miles from Wilmington) Craig Wilkins - Artist, Song Writer, Performer
