Review by Karen G.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on December 17, 2023•From Northport, NY

Hired Papa Joe to perform at my mom’s 87th birthday dinner & he was amazing! Her party was put together in a relatively short time frame and I feel lucky to have found him on short notice. He was warm, professional, personable and very talented. The accordion playing & singing were excellent & entertaining. We went over what I wanted & he knew all the right songs to play (oldies/classics/Christmas/Italian) & was great at it. My mom was happy, engaged and smiling and helped make her birthday a special & memorable one for all. We were at a restaurant & everyone there loved him. He really puts his heart into what he does & it shows. Can’t say enough! Highly recommend!

Oktoberfest Party•Reviewed on October 25, 2023•From Asbury, NJ

Papa Joe Clemente brought our Oktoberfest party to life! His live accordion music was a hit, playing traditional German polka and modern hits. Dressed in lederhosen, he added an authentic touch. He led toasts and kept the festive spirit alive. We'll definitely be using him again in the future. A fantastic addition to any event!

Thank you for that great review ??????????

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on July 25, 2023•From Highlands, NJ

Papà Joe is an extraordinary, talented musician. He drove from Long Island to the Jersey Shore on a hot Saturday afternoon to perform at my mom’s 91st Birthday party. There is no other accordion player out there especially one who has a robust Italian repertoire as he. He also has a beautiful voice and sang “What a Wonderful World” sounding just like Louis Armstrong. We wish we lived closer to see him play locally on LI more often! Wonderful and sweet man who felt like family. Hope to book again in near future!

Review by PETER R.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on January 24, 2022•From Carle Place, NY

What a nice man and a hell of a good accordion player. He was 30 minutes early so he had plenty of time to set up. He got everyone involved in the party and quite frankly without him it wouldn't of been a party. It would of just been a dinner. Beautiful voice and a beautiful person. On a scale of 1-10 he's a 50 ... Great job !!!!!!!

Thank you for that great review. I absolutely loved playing for your family who really knows how to have a great time together Many many thanks again Papa Joe

Anniversary Party•Reviewed on September 22, 2019•From Mineola, NY

Papa Joe made our Anniversary Party the talk of the town. He is so talented i couldn't believe how lucky we were to have been able to hire him. If i ever need a musician again I would not hesitate for a second hiring Papa for any party. He was at the venue early, and was so accommodating that everyone fell in love with him. Even was able to get some of my guests up, which surprised the heck out of me. Thank you.

Marianna Thank you for your great review. I certainly had a great time playI got for your family and friends, a fantastic group. Again, I was honored to be the entertainer of the night for your special 50th Anniversary. God Bless Papa Joe
