I knew from the moment I talked to you on the phone that every one else were just car salesmen.You guys are the real deal. You were everything I hoped for. Our members loved the show. We sold out the house and we have to have you back at least 3 more times this year.
You were wonderful!

“It was an honor to have you in our home for my wife’s 50th Surprise Birthday Party. You really made the party”Steve Hageman
December, 2008
You really made Gary Ray’s Retirement Party a very special event. The original song parodies you came up with for the formal program received positive comments. You got a bunch of executives with no theater experience up on stage, cracking jokes and singing songs. Your participation and your piano playing afterwards was loved by everyone.

From what I was hearing, everyone certainly enjoyed themselves. You added a real liveliness to the party!
Thanks so much for making our evening better than ever!
We did great profit-wise, raising over $8,000!!!!

By the way, I was really impressed with the Bill of Rights.
Being a company banquet, professional attire and language is a must.
Even though I hate winter, I am now looking forward to February!
Thanks, Dan.

When my daughter and her fiancé came to me and said they wanted a solo pianist for their wedding reception, I thought they were nuts. I said, “Don’t you want a band? Or a DJ?” And they said, “No Dad, this guy is that good. You’ll see. He will get the party going and he’ll guarantee to sing all the songs we want.”
They were right. I was very surprised a solo piano player could do all that. Dan the Pianoman played all of the songs they wanted. He MCd all of the announcements and dedications perfectly. Thank you for making our special night memorable.
Thomas Miller, Father of The Bride October 18th, 2008
“You were fantastic! We will have to have you back to our home for next year’s company party.
Everyone loved the way you got people involved. You even got the little children involved playing instruments and dancing with hats and ribbons.
When they got too tired, you played all songs the adults wanted to hear.
Thank you!”
Ryan and Pat Sheley, TurboJet Inc. November 16th, 2008
“The entire board unanimously agreed. We need to have you back for next year’s fund raiser. Dan literally had this old historic home shaking to its foundation. I am sending your deposit for next year’s event right now. When people in town find out you are playing again, we will raise the money we need to complete our restoration.”
Laura Helle, Hormel Historic Home, Austin, MN September, 2008
“We had the pleasure of having Dan Gillogly play piano for our convention. He was our entertainment for our annual users’ conference. The crowd loved him.
They let us get up on stage and participate with him.
I would recommend pianist Dan Gillogly for any event you might have.
His Dueling Pianos Shows are first rate. They are fantastic musicians; they have fantastic singing voices and they go with the flow. They are exceptionally good.”

“I want to tell you about All American Dueling Pianos. I first spoke to Dan on the phone a couple of months ago. Talking to him I thought I was going to see a good show.
I am hoarse right now because I spent a lot of time singing and laughing at perhaps one of the greatest shows I have ever seen. If it wasn’t for the fact that the hotel staff (Renaissance in Schaumburg IL) shut us down we would still have these guys playing.
This was one of the greatest nights we ever have seen at our conference. We expect to have them back again next year. So book them right now.”
Don McCoy May 2008 Friedman Corporation
“They were excellent, excellent! It was awesome! It was outstanding! On a scale of 1-10, they were a 10. If you haven’t tried them you have got to get them for your next event. They really drew the crowd in. Everyone is still talking about All American Dueling Pianos.”

“We had All American Dueling Pianos here tonight. We were very happy with their performance. We would definitely have them back. We hire a lot of bands and entertainers for our company functions. They kept the crowd enthused the whole night. They were professional every step of the way, from the proposal, to their promotional materials all the way through the night of the performance. You guys did a great job.”

“Dan and everyone at All American Dueling Pianos did a great job. We didn’t know who you were before we called. But we took a leap of faith and you certainly came through in starring fashion.
We had so much fun. All of our friends had an absolute blast. Sami and all of her friends were dancing all night and you really kept them all involved. You guys were a huge hit.
We will be calling again for Rachel’s (next daughter) date in two years. And we have already referred to 3 of our friends.
Thanks for making this special occasion that much more special.”

I’ve been doing shows like this for 30 years and I have never had entertainers do everything I asked them to like you guys did. Thank you.
You guys allowed me to keep my job for another year.

I wish all the entertainers I deal with were as kind as you. You’ll be my first call next time around!

Dan,
Thank you so much for doing such an awesome job at my father’s party! I have been bragging to everyone how great the music was and how guests from age 8 to 80 years of age were up and dancing! We really appreciate your hard work and creative energy! You made the party a success!!
Just a quick note to say thanks for a great party!! You guys definitely made the difference, as I never thought I would see anyone dancing during this party.
Thanks again,
Susan & Arthur Reingold, Highland Park, IL
“Dan has been playing at a party that we give for attendees at our sales training classes for the last few years, and we think he is great.
At the beginning of the party he plays quiet background music and then as the evening progresses, he ups the tempo and always manages to get a least half the group out on their feet dancing.
Dan is also very good at getting the musicians or singers in the group to join in, either playing guitar or singing along with various popular tunes.”

Although we usually have a few people who go to sleep during programs, I am sure there were none in the group who heard you last evening that even felt sleepy. Your playing and singing along really hit the spot with everyone with whom I spoke after the presentation. Your selection of numbers to give was accurate to the audience. We certainly enjoyed every minute of it. Seldom have I experienced an hour go by so quickly as that one did.
We so much enjoyed you I wish you the very best in your continuing work. Thank you for doing your show at Plymouth Place.
Sincerely,
Roger Adams,
Chairman, Plymouth Place
“Loved the show you guys are awesome you rock We would never want anyone else to play piano for us.”
Maggie Rossi May 2008 Friedman Corporation
I feel compelled to emphasize to you how thrilled I was to have you in my home for my recent party. It is rarely easy to please fifty people at one time but you managed to do it! I am so grateful to you for making our evening a truly memorable experience. The life and energy, not to mention fabulous music you brought into my living room was beyond compare and many weeks later, everyone is still talking about you and raving about how extraordinarily talented you are.
There has not yet been a day that has gone by in the last month where someone or other that had attended asks how to get a hold of you or when I was having my next party. We are ALL looking for excuses to “sing along” with Dan Our Favorite Piano Man!
Be prepared for a return performance in the Spring!
Fond regards,
Suzie Shaffer

Hi Dan,
Thanks so much for making my 30th birthday special!! I am listening now to the songs you have on your website, but I must say it was much better seeing you in person. I will be in Chicago again in November and will hunt you down so I can come see you again. I am also going to forward your info to our HR department for possibilities for our annual party. It would be great!!
Thanks again,

Just wanted to drop you a quick note to say THANK-YOU so much for the GREAT job you did for us! Your participation and talent went along way to helping make Jerry’s night memorable!!!!
( thanks-much for the “sentimental” moment you gave us by preparing Gordon Lightfoot’s ‘Beautiful’ for us

“Dan is a superb musician. The advantage to working with Dan is also that he has a business background but prefers to work as a musician. This means that he is always prepared, timely, friendly (none of the surliness that sometimes comes with the artistic personality) and will never embarrass you or the Company that hires his services. I would recommend him without reservation!”
Joanne Hurley

“If you’re looking for a bright, talented guy to put some zing in your event, then Dan’s your man. A quick wit, with a practically encyclopedic memory of songs, you won’t be disappointed with this guy tapping the ivories at your event.”

“Dan and I did volunteer work at the same non-profit together. I knew Dan was a musician but had never seen him perform. Then one day he performed for free at the non-profit: amazing. Then I visited Dan at one of his restaurant engagements: again amazing. I’ve always remembered Dan as “the music man”. Some people simply perform. Dan entertains. You need to hire Dan for your next corporate gathering, private party, club/restaurant engagement to enjoy musical entertainment from – the music man.”
Richard Kraneis,

“Dan is an excellent, exciting, hard working and passionate individual who gives 150 percent of his time and energy. I’ve seen this guy in action and he is awesome. You can’t go wrong. I would work with Dan at any given day or time. He’s worth his weight in gold.”

Everything went so smoothly and everyone enjoyed it so much they would like you to come back for a repeat performance for ISU Family Weekend 2007.
