We will definitely have him back again.”

"Peter always puts on a great show that delights and educates his audiences. Peter’s mastery of the keyboard and accompanying vocals has the audience singing and tapping along with the great vintage music he brings to our stage. This is the third time Peter has performed for our series, and he never disappoints.

"Holiday and Ragtime concerts with Peter Bergin are amazing and always draw a crowd.  His vocal and piano skills are unbelievable and get your toes tapping as well as your heart swelling with emotion.  Anytime you hear his name, know that a grand time will be had for all ages.  His smooth, easy listening repertoire, fast, fun, frenzy of fingers gliding on the keyboard, and lyrical voice make listening an art."

"Thank you for all the wonderful concerts you've done at Green Acres of Cadillac. I'm impressed with how well you interact with your audience and how you never repeat the same concert. I love when you play the old ragtime songs on the piano. You make the piano come alive and the audience comes alive too."
