Peter, we very much appreciated your performance. Your piano skills are incredible as well as your voice. Singing Billy Joel and Elton John songs are not easy to do yet you’d make them proud!

Ardelle Piper, Sherwood House

Peter Tam performed for our birthday party. He did great. He was on time. The residents were enjoying his music. He also knows how to engage.

Maria Mangyao, Revera Fleetwood Villa

The residents loved having Peter as a duo here and could not stop talking about it for the rest of the night. Highly recommend if you enjoy listening to old Broadway songs!

Ashlynn Neuber, Avalon Gardens

Peter has performed for our residents at Holyrood Manor in Maple Ridge. His vocal and musical talent combined with his upbeat, warm and engaging personality make him a big hit in  our home! I also appreciate the way Peter takes the time to introduce his songs, sometimes talking about the composers, singers and time period. He is also very willing to take special requests and is adaptable and flexible! Overall a wonderful experience for those in attendance and an excellent opportunity of creating moments of joy!

Janine Willemsen, Holyrood Manor

Peter is a fantastic entertainer. He can feel the crowd’s vibe and give them what they want. His performance is always flawless and watching him play is an experience on it’s own.

Peter Tam has put together a delightful set of personal piano jazz vocal originals reminiscent of Harry Connick Jr sprinkled with a taste of Michael Bublé.

I have interviewed Peter twice on my show Paul Mash TV, and He is a great and awesome Jazz musician. Everything he does is so good.

Peter Tam brings character to each song he sings effortlessly. The songs vibrate through him as if he is the Tonic Note guiding the rest of the melody. With Peter you are sure to embark on a melodic journey and at the end of your 1 hour performance you will walk away saying ‘What?!? It’s already over?’ I’m happy to have discovered his online Dad’s Music project because I get to come back for more every Sunday evening and Peter only gets better and better as each week progresses. His musical guests are definitely Artists to look out for. He is bringing back the old format that we loved as we went to Gramma and Grampa’s place for dinner and had to watch HeeHaw and the Grand Ol’Opry afterwards but with a modern twist, by meeting not only with Country, Folk and Blues Artists, but the new genres that are touching our hearts even down to Heavy Metal Artists. Peter’s interview style is pleasing and interactive as he incorporates joining in musically with the artist. I really love this concept. It’s winner! That’s why I keep coming back every Sunday. I see big successes for Peter Tam and am looking forward to hearing more of his Originals along the way.

Jenny DuHaime, Big Records

“Peter is carving out a a respectable niche in the West Coast pop/jazz scene. His songwriting is unique and refreshing. A pleasure to work with. Definitely someone to watch!”

Craig Zurba, Bryan Adams-Michael Jackson

“The sound takes me to a jazz club decades old, when people went out for the night dressed in class, sitting in low-lit, smoke filled rooms listening to the best of the best jazz a club owner could find. Tam has elegantly revived elegant lounge jazz”

RYAN BARNES, RYAN BARNES Productions

Another collection of fantastic new original songs Peter. Your melodies and smooth delivery remind me of Bublé or Sinatra !! Looking forward to more 🙂 !!
