Description

For more than 30 years, solo pianist Lee Allen has provided both solo-piano music and the realistic sound of a three- to five-piece jazz/pop ensemble from a single person, thanks to music technology and extensive preparation.

Lee Allen is a member of the TrustLink Community (a program of the Better Business Bureau), and a Preferred Vendor of the Rinconada Country Club in Los Gatos, the Saratoga Country Club, the Los Altos Country Club and the Mountain Winery in Saratoga.

Lee has performed successfully with great feedback from customers at restaurants, receptions, corporate parties and private parties -- for example, Lee Allen has performed successfully at the Fairmont, Mark Hopkins and Palace Hotels in San Francisco, the Fairmont, Hilton and St. Claire Hotels in San Jose, Dolce Hayes Mansion in San Jose, HS Lordship's in Berkeley, the Chaminade Resort in Santa Cruz and the Saratoga Foothill Club.

Lee performed at Ray's Ristorante in Atlanta's Lenox Square for eighteen months and at Faz Mediterranean Restaurant in Sunnyvale for five years. Lee Allen now appears regularly at MacArthur Park Restaurant in Palo Alto, California, where he has performed regularly for more than two years. Please check Lee Allen's website for his latest engagement dates.

Lee's musical approach to arranging is to deliver familiar melodies seen a new way, while preserving the message and spirit of the original song.

Lee's special technique and capabilities make for extremely competitive pricing for events requiring background music, such as receptions and dinners.

Feedback

  • Lee arrived early and was so pleasant and easy to work with, that I knew I wouldn't have to worry about his needs. He made my day so much less hectic than it could have been-in the past when I've hired a new entertainer, I usually have some issues, but with Lee I had absolutely none. He was fabulous and all of our 140 guests from all over the area and of all ages agreed. Thank you for making our Thanksgiving event even more special for our residents and their families with your truly wonderful performance, Lee! -- Lindsey P, San Mateo, CA, 11/20/2011
  • Lee Allen is a fantastic entertainer. My guests are still talking about how much they enjoyed the background music he performed at my Holiday Dessert Party. Lee arrived well in advance to set up and to make sure he was ready upon the arrival of my first guest. Lee is very talented which was reflected in the variety of music he plays. I highly recommend Lee, I promise you will not be disappointed! -- Linda W, San Leandro, CA, 12/29/2007
  • it was great, the music was for the background to the dinner and activities and Allen was able to do that. thanks. -- Tony F, Granite Bay, CA, 12/1/2007
