Andy Bossov is a true professional. My experience with him could not have been better. He is exceptionally communicative and very detail oriented, and aside from being a great performer, he's even a better person. Everyone at our party was thrilled with his energy, smooth piano playing, and great singing voice. I'd hire Andy again in a heartbeat!
