DESCRIPTION:
Hello! Thank you for taking the time to review my profile! I am honored to be recognized by my peers and clients alike as America's foremost crooner of pre-1980 adult popular standards for corporate engagements, weddings, and festivals, concerts, casinos, and much more!
Legendary Grammy-winning pianist Ramsey Lewis has said that I am "the Rolls Royce" of singers today, and Bruce Johnston(of the Beach Boys) exclaimed,"WE should be opening for you! You're awesome!" following my 2007 New Year's Eve opening for them at the MGM. I am proud to possess an amazing 2000-song repertoire(Yes, I'm often asked, "How do you remember all those words??")that spans the traditional Adult-pop standards spectrum encompassing genres from jazz, swing, blues, and Latin to ballads, Broadway classics, and even a little country and pop/rock! I am grateful that my song stylings have attracted clients and fans of all ages who demand great, timeless quality entertainment for themselves and their guests! I ACTUALLY PERFORM FOR A LIVING FULL-TIME, unlike 99% of other Gigmasters artists(who do this as a hobby to make some extra cash on the weekends). I work with the most virtuosic musicians to maintain the highest standards of quality for my performances(punctual, well-dressed, courteous, no drinking on a gig, etc). Consequently, I am known for a polished presentation far superior to anyone else, which affords me the luxury of being the ONLY GIGMASTERS ENTERTAINER WHO OFFERS A 100% PERFORMANCE GUARANTEE: If you believe you could have gotten someone better for the same or less money, I will gladly do the engagement for FREE! YES, I'm happy to stake my reputation and put my money where my mouth is because(as someone who's often been described as better than Buble, Connick, and even Sinatra at his peak)my livelihood depends upon it(since most of my work is from repeat clients and usually by referral). Averaging 350 engagements annually, I am grateful to be one of the country's busiest in-demand entertainers. Consequently, I recommend that bookings be made as far in advance as possible for best availability. Regardless of your venue or event size, I will work closely with you to create a specially-tailored, appropriate, and memorable live music package that delivers kudos within your budget! Whether you need soft music to create a cozy, romantic ambiance or a lively musical assortment to keep the dance floor filled, I think you will find that I am the right choice for you! Accompaniment options: DUO(Keyboard and Vocals) TRIO(Keyboard, Tenor Saxophone or Bass, & Vocals) QUARTET(Keyboard, Bass, Drums, & Vocals) QUINTET(Keyboard, Bass, Drums, Tenor Saxophone & Vocals) SEXTET(Keyboard, Bass, Drums, Tenor Saxophone, Trumpet, & Vocals) BIG BAND(4 Reed, 3 Brass, 3 Rhythm, and Vocals) KARAOKE FRANK SINATRA/DEAN MARTIN TRIBUTE(Vocals accompanied by orchestral background tracks) DJ SERVICE OR A COMBINATION OF ANY OF THE ABOVE!!!! If you have any questions and/or would like a free interactive DVD demonstration package mailed to you, please contact me or visit my website. I am certain(when you hire me), YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED! Thanks again for your time and consideration!

He made our Wedding Reception even more special by coming down off the stage into the "audience" and serenading guests at the tables. He also gave bits of history about the songs he sang. He and his band also worked well throughout the evening with our DJ/announcer.

I found Peter Oprisko through an internet search that led me to GigMasters. After the initial request for information, Peter Oprisko phoned me personally to discuss the event and to offer his services. It was a remarkable conversation.
Peter Oprisko was a true delight! He arrived and orchestrated the entire evening with such professionalism -- the comments I heard all night were "where did you find these guys?", "They are great, they sound wonderful!"
After a wedding that was absolutely perfect, Peter Oprisko led us through the reception that will truly be in the memories of hundreds of people for a long time.
His ease, comfort and obvious talent guided the festivities from the introductions to the send off with the confidence of a true professional. I can't thank him enough. I give Peter Oprisko the highest ratings in all categories, only because there weren't higher numbers. He should really have about 25 on the scale!
Thanks again.

Mr Oprisko was great. I felt that he cared that everyone enjoy his music. He sang to my mom (it was her 80th birthday) in a way that made her feel special. He adjusted his music beautifully to accomodate, cocktail hour, dinning music and dancing music. He sang Happy Birthday for my mom and was able to sing all the songs she requested. His voice is fantastic! It is unusualy to get people dancing at 2 o'clock on a Sunday afternoon - but his band did it. It was a true celebration because of his music.
