Review by Tracy S.

Birthday Party (Adult)Reviewed on August 16, 2015From Palos Verdes Estates, CA

Very talented and very sweet!

Review by Heather C.

WeddingReviewed on April 23, 2015From Los Angeles, CA

Rick was great and I thoroughly recommend him! He was very accommodating and was able to play a large variety of different numbers from the 1920's to the 1950's. Don't hesitate to hire Rick. He's reasonably priced, extremely talented and a lovely person too!

Review by Karen S.
