"(Andrew) was just wonderful...  Everyone left with smiles on their faces and music in their hearts which will last for days to come.  His next visit cannot come soon enough.  So many favorites and beautifully performed - the lyrics of those old songs were just marvelous, and Andrew's voice made each and every word meaningful, fun, and touching.  Thanks for a great evening!"

"This place is so much fun!  Great drink menu and food choices .They have a variety of wines beers and other cocktails.  I only had an appetizer this time not a full meal but the spinach artichoke dip is really yummy.  Now to the real reason to go here.  The man at the piano Andrew Blendermann is so amazing!  He has books on the table for you to make requests and these books are HUGE!  He knows a little bit of everything and it's rare that someone turns in a song that he doesn't know.  He also encourages you to sing along.  Truly engages the audience and there's never a dull  moment.  This place attracts people of all ages so you've got the college students at the table next to the baby boomers and they're all having a great time!  Stop by!"

"I've thoroughly enjoyed your playing and singing tonight.  Your vocal range and ability to improvise is impressive, as is your repertoire of songs."

-- Margaret


"We go out all the time and have NEVER experienced anything like Big Shot.  The food was great, but the piano player was amazing!  He knew every song we could think of.  He totally seemed to play something for everyone.  He made heavy metal and rap sound good on the piano (believe it or not!)  And he actually had a beautiful voice when singing real songs.  Check it out!"

"A bunch of friends went out for a birthday Saturday night and had a blast.  The food was excellent, and the piano player rocked!  I think his name was Andrew.  He knew a wide array of songs.  Big Shots does a great birthday surprise:  they bring out a birthday dessert with a candle to the table while the piano player sings a birthday song.  What a night!  A little hard to find but what a GEM!!"

"Thanks for a great evening of entertainment at DaddyO's.  We had such a great time.  You are a very talented and personable guy.  You were perfect for that situation - you made us all feel at home and among friends.  It was just what we needed after a long day in our conference."  

-- Karin Graddy


Wedding

"Andrew literally made our wedding party a party to remember.  While good food and good drink are essential elements, the music is the spirit and the mood.  Andrew read the crowd, the moments and cranked out music to match.  He is the best."  

-- Terri Silverstone and David Lissner, newlyweds


Davenport's Piano Bar & Cabaret

"Andrew Blendermann was the name of the piano player the night we were there, and he's marvelous!  A beautiful voice, and he had this playlist of songs that went on forever!  He played everything we could think of!"

Private Party

"I can't thank you enough for everything you did to make my 50th birthday one of the most memorable occasions.  We had so much fun, as did everyone who was there.  Everybody commented about how great Andrew was.  They all said he really knows how to keep the party going."

Private Party

"Just a note to thank you for making me a hero.  Seriously, I can't say enough about the party.  I knew you'd be a good choice for our entertainment, but I couldn't have predicted the energy level. Our family has never had more fun together.  I can't thank you enough."

-- Marcia Fritz

at Naperville Country Club


Wedding

"Days after our wedding, we're still receiving raves about your performance from our guests. They all seem to be scheming of how to fly you all over the country to play for them some more."

"We continue to be amazed by your versatility, talent, and character, and have never seen anyone put together such a potent mixture of refinement and wild fun. You helped us create a wedding that will live in infamy for many people. You can be sure you'll be seeing us soon (and with many of your new fans in tow)."

-- Gary & Shelley Markle, newlyweds
(and Davenport's fans)

"Beach Party" for Nightwatch


Davenport's Piano Bar & Cabaret

"Andrew Blendermann sat with us in the front room during a break.  What an incredible talent he is.  He must know 1500 songs.  We were really in awe.  I kept trying to stump him with obscure songs from his handout.  He even did a very respectable rendition of 'Tubthumping' by Chumbawamba.  Crazy.  Super nice guy."

-- Amber Gainey-Meade, Davenport's patron


Private Party

"It was a wonderful perfect evening...  Your contribution played a major role in its success."

Marriott Lincolnshire, summer of 2000

with Andrew Blendermann as "L.M."


Wedding

"(Andrew) showed true virtuosity at the electronic and acoustic keyboards, including the best boogie-woogie I've heard since 1943.  He also joined in some comedic and background vocals...  Likable 'hams' all, The Corsairs' musicianship and above all their arrangements and harmonies made their performance thoroughly enjoyable."
