Available for fill-in band work in addition to solo piano for all kinds of events (weddings, parties, etc). IMPORTANT NOTE-GIGMASTER's bases it's 'rating' predominantly on how much money a performer has earned through Gigmaster's. I do the majority of my booking outside of Gigmaster's so these events are not counted towards my Gigmaster's rating. I encourage clients to read through my past client reviews and listent to my mp3 samples (all recorded LIVE in real time) for an accurate gauge of what you can expect if you were to hire me. Thank you, Will Landstrom

Will was easy to work with through the planning process and was responsive to emails and phone calls. I highly recommend Will for your next event! -- Karen S, Elmira, NY, 5/31/2008
• Will Landstrom is probably the most talented and professional keyboard artist that we could have possible hired. He's the BEST!!! He played for an elegant black-tie event and is a class act all the way. Will arrived early, dressed appropriately, played the perfect music, and was truly professional in every way. Every song he played was technically brilliant and he made the cocktail party music flow effortlessly. I cannot recommend this pianist enough, and I am a trained musician myself. He really knows his stuff, he's fantastic and reliable, and his music is the prefect compliment to any party. Bravo Will! Thanks from Janet Billig and family -- Janet B, West Orange, NJ, 4/12/2008
• Will Landstrom was a true professional and so nice to work with for my wedding on 4/5/08, in which he played piano for my cocktail hour. He was always quick to reply to all of my many e-mailed questions about the wedding music, and showed up ahead of schedule that day to set up. His piano playing was beautiful, and everyone was very happy with his performance. And his fee was very reasonable for such a high-quality performance. I highly recommend Will for any event! :) -- Adriana M, New Rochelle, NY, 4/5/2008
• Will was incredible. A true master. the party was a huge hit because of him. His music sounded like magic. before hiring him, i got like 12 bids from pianists to host my party. I listened to each one of them on their web sites befire chosing Will. Will stood out from the croud by havig a true and genuine way of playing the music that was truley his own. his rendition of "over the rainbow" was amazing. all the songs were amazing. thanks again -- Jordan R, Ridgewood, NJ, 1/19/2008

• My guests and myself were very happy with Will and plan to have him for our next years holiday party. -- Charles K, Rahway, NJ, 12/19/2007
• Will communicated with my daughter proir to the wedding. He was early setting up and talked over the brides music "wants" list. When the officient preformed the ceremony at a speed speaking pace -- Will kept to the pace. I would highly recommend Will!! Cheryl (mother of the bride) -- Cheryl B, Bear Mountain, NY, 10/20/2007
• As usual (we've booked Will more than once), Will was a first rate addition to the celebration. We gave a gift of music to our friends who were married last Saturday. We hired Will to play at the church before, during and following the ceremony. He was simply wonderful. The bride text messaged me from the honeymoon raving about what a wonderful gift it was and how marvelous Will was. She couldn't thank us enough. Will is just terrific...flexible, professional, talented, friendly... you cannot go wrong booking him for whatever you might! -- Michael L, Bear Creek, PA, 10/13/2007
• He was incredible and was exactly what I expected him to be. He was there early, was well prepared and equipped and was on top of things. He is definitely a wonderful musician with a head full of songs and a vast amount of tastes in music. -- Courtney L, Newburgh, NY, 9/14/2007
• Will Lindstrom is extremely professional, talented and courteous. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for an electric keyboard entertainer. He would be able to accommodate any type of event. I would certainly hire him again. -- Pat B, Union, NJ, 9/8/2007

• Will Landstrom was a complete professional. He was considerate, played exactly what we wanted, showed up early, and most importantly sounded great. I am a pianist myself so I know when someone can play, and Will Landstrom can. Highest recommendations are in order. -- Janet F, Allentown, PA, 6/28/2007
• Will played during our wedding ceremony, our first dance song and during dinner at our reception. The ceremony was outside and he provided and set up all his equipment and was ready to go on time. We communicated by e-mail and by phone concerning song choices. He contacted me the week of the wedding to touch base and finalize everything. He was well prepared, punctual, professional, and dressed for the occasion. Thank you Will for doing an awesome job! ~Julie and John -- Julie W, Pocono Manor, PA, 6/23/2007
• Will played music at our wedding and everything was perfect. He showed up when he was supposed to and he played just like we wanted him to. My only suggestion is the he charge more. When I first saw his rates I figured he must not be any good. In this case you get more than you pay for. Sharon & Doug Niner -- Sharon C, Chesapeake City, MD, 3/25/2007
• In a word Will Landstrom was great. He is a brilliant pianist and a genuinue pleasure to listen to. He is also a very nice person and a total pro. I could not recommend him high enough. And the kicker is-his fee was considerably lower than some others who had bid who, in my opinion, did not sound as good. I am a serious pianist myself-take my word for it-if you want a REAL musician/pianist hire Will Landstrom-you won't be sorry. -- Alice J, Scranton, PA, 3/24/2007
• Will performed beautifully at our daughter's engagement party. His music was exactly what we wanted! The future bride and groom loved him so much,he will also be playing at the wedding ceremony and cocktail hour! We highly recommend Will. -- Sharon P, Bridgewater, NJ, 3/10/2007
• We booked Will as a musical surprise, furnishing live solo piano music for my sister's pre-wedding cocktail party for about 50 people.. Will was terrific from start to finish. He answered all questions and e-mails expeditiously, was warm and friendly to all, played requests, improvised with some professional singers we had as guests, and overall was a welcome addition to our festivities. My sister and the guests all loved his playing. He is a wonderful talent and a complete gentleman. His repetoire is versatile and well-rounded. I woudn't hesitate to book him again or to refer him to anyone looking for a professional pianist to entertain or provide background music for any function. A+ ! -- Michael L, Pocono Pines, PA, 12/22/2006
• Will Landstrom was a complete pro-a great pianist, a very nice person....A+ all the way. We could not have been happier. He is HIGHLY recommended!!!!!!! -- Robert H, Elizabeth, NJ, 11/19/2006
• I was very pleased with Will Landstrom's services. Prior to the affair, he was always available to me either by e-mail or phone. He made sure to get a feel for exactly what style of music I wanted, even going so far as to determine specific song titles. On the day of our party he arrived early to set up his equipment, had a most professional demeanor, and continually checked with me during the affair to make sure he was meeting my expectations. Will is a talented musician and very personable as well. He couldn't have been more accomodating. I highly recommend him to your subscribers. -- Kathleen C, West Bristol, PA, 11/11/2006

In addition to this his fee was significantly less than other bids I received. What's not to like? I would hire him again in a second! -- Alison G, Effort, PA, 7/2/2006
• Will is an amazing musician and extremely professional. Will played throughout the reception of my wedding and was able to learn a long list of songs I needed in just a couple of days along with playing his own music as well. His talent is amazing. The sound, setup, and equipment was all top notch. This is all coming from another professional musician. I would definitely recommend him. -- Kenneth O, Utica, NY, 7/1/2006
• My party was a very last minute request for background music for a cocktail-type party. Will and I corresponded through email and he arrived well-prepared and on-time.

• Will traveled nearly 2 hours to play during the cocktail hour at our evening wedding. He arrived in advance so that he was perfectly on time (even during inclimate weather). So Will is extremely reliable and communication via email/phone was perfect before the event. Will's plyaing ability is of the highest level and his knowledge of various styles really is a plus. Our wedding was very elegant, and Will really added to the event...we give him the highest praise!!! If you do not select Will over other piansts, you will be missing out on a truly memorable performer. -- Steve R, Mount Laurel, NJ, 1/14/2006
