“I can’t imagine a better interpreter of the music of Paul McCartney than Tony Kishman. I’ve had the opportunity to perform with Tony many times with many orchestras across the United States. Tony is a total pro: consistently reliable, great collaborator, excellent musician and great entertainer. It’s always a pleasure to watch him wow the audience.”

“Tony is a real pleasure to work with. I’ve worked with him and the band over the past 15 years, and they’ve been a hit every time. He personifies Paul beautifully on stage, musically and with his rapport with the audience. The Beatles only performed with an orchestra in studio, so this is a rare and thrilling treat to hear this legendary music recreated live.”

“I would recommend this show very highly. We had a great crowd, good sales, and they loved it. The buzz in the lobby after the concert was very favorable. The Live and Let Die show was a great start to our new season.”

“Many thanks for your wonderful performance of Live & Let Die: A Symphonic Tribute to Paul McCartney with the Fresno Philharmonic this month. You and your band put on a terrific show which many audience members said was one of the best pops concerts they had ever seen. The program was very well put together and had an ideal balance between Sir Paul’s Beatles and post-Beatles career. It was a pleasure working with you and all the members of your team. The charts were great and our musicians thoroughly enjoyed working with conductor Martin Herman. The tech and production aspects of the show also went very smoothly and efficiently. I also appreciate your help with marketing and PR. Altogether a great package.”

“Everything went amazingly well! This is a great group to work with and I found Tony to be very flexible and easy to please. Martin did a great job and the orchestra was without complaints, which says a lot. The band sounded great. They audience loved them and they were so kind to spend lots of time signing CDs and taking photos with the enthusiastic audience.”
