    CLIENT FEEDBACK:  

    Mr. Queen was delightful to work with throughout the entire process. He played jazz piano in my home for an anniversary party, and even though our home is small, the music blended perfectly well with the conversation. Mr. Queen is very talented, and I say that as a concertgoer and amateur pianist. He was clear and concise about the arrangements, arrived early, stayed as long I we desired, was very polite, and his fees were more than reasonable. I was lucky to find Mr. Queen through Gigmasters and plan to request his services in the future.

    This is the second time that Boise Queen has performed for us. His playing was outstanding and he was as always, very accommodating to our requests. I have booked many groups and you can't get any better than Boise - a fine musician and a fine gentleman. I will definitely have him play for us again. Joe Kainz, The Onion Pub and Brewery.
