Bruce was so awesome from start to finish for our private event today. He initially replied to my inquiry within about 15 minutes with a very reasonable quote. It literally went like this: B: "I have that day available" Me: "excellent. Can I give you a deposit?" B: "no need. You can pay me the day of. See you then!" A few days prior to the event, I got a little ...control freaky-deaky and made contact just to confirm cuz let's face it.. it's hard to find business people so equally laid back yet with absolutely no detail left undone. But that is exactly how it was with Bruce. His equipment is top-notch -- Sound, lighting, etc. His attitude is warm and friendly and his song list is AMAZING. He showed up when he said he would (2 hours prior to go time for set-up). He takes care of everything. He brings pens, song slips, multiple song books by artist and song title... and he works a great rotation. He seems to really enjoy what he does. Our party was extremely happy with Bruce and we definitely will book with him again for another event. Very professional. read more

Kor Karaoke has been a welcome and wonderful cornerstone since I discovered them in Mountain View 10 years ago. They are constantly improving their selection and walk a wonderful line between being professional while still feeling like friends. For a great evening, with a fun fanbase, and an encouraging crowd? There's no one better read more

Bruce is the best! He DJ'd my private birthday party and was amazing. Very professional, has all the songs, and just genuinely a great guy. If you're looking for a fun and drama free karaoke DJ, he's #1 choice! read more

Kor Karaoke - My friends singing me a song, Bruce there in the background manning his station. - Karaoke Near Me

I like this guy, Bruce is a great kj. He's pretty laid back and chill, he's very personable too. He doesn't rub you the wrong way at all. The kinda guy I could see myself chilling and having a beer with. Hes got alot of love songs plus he's also got alot of my favorite which are the anti love songs, wooo hoooooo. YOu can really tell that he has a great sense of humor too. I am thinking about having Bruce do a bday party for me sometime or something. Its nice to have him out in my area. I feel sorta blessed . He's given me a great place close by to go on my Wednesday nights read more

This is the best KJ to follow! He is fun and very versatile and awesome. Best music selection.

Awesome KJ, all around great guy. Puts on a fantastic show EVERY time, and if you are lucky enough to hear him take a song for himself you are in for a treat. Plus when I walk up to him and say "Hey you don't have this or that song." he always knows which song, no matter how obscure of a song I am talking about, and by the next time I see him, he has it. I am marking him as average for noise level because I've seen him do his stuff in a few different places and I would class him as "Venue Appropriate" for noise level. So in this case "average" is a compliment to his sense of where he is and who he is playing for. read more

I hired Bruce for my 30th birthday party held in a martial arts studio, and he exceeded my expectations! He has great equipment, is super nice and funny, and has any song you might want. He was also nice to give me special treatment being the birthday girl and all :) Very professional, unfussy, and reasonable! He brought two (maybe more?) great speakers, a lyric tv, lights, props, two wireless mics on stands that had a huge range, and a station for himself for song selection. And some props! He was also able to connect to a larger tv at the studio. Booking was done simply over email. Hire him for a party to remember! Thank you so much Bruce!!! read more

Bruce has done a backyard summer Karaoke Party for me every year for the last 4 years and has done a fantastic job my guest look forward to it every year and can't what for the next one. I highly recommend his services without a doubt. If you hire Bruce you will not be disappointed keep up the good work. read more

Kor Karaoke - a man and a woman singing - Karaoke Near Me

Bruce DJ-ed our wedding! He did a great job. He brought his own equipment, set up on two different floors (because our wedding went upstairs and then downstairs and then back up again), played a great selection of jazz during dinner, and then opened it up for karaoke during the reception. Seriously, it sounds crazy, but I highly recommend karaoke for wedding receptions. Watching everyone get up there and drunkenly serenade you really adds something to the experience. read more

Bruce KJ'd at my wedding reception this past weekend...this is literally the most important day of my life, and, I have to be honest here, there is NO ONE who could have been trusted more to provide fun, class and adjustment to the variety of voices, drunkeness and talent levels present, than Bruce. He was absolutely ideal. I found him here, through Yelp, and I am so pleased that I trusted his stellar reviews. He was so accommodating, set up in our venue and provided a HUGE song list at one of the lowest prices I have encountered for a KJ ever. He worked with me ahead of time, but didn't pester me. He was flexible when I changed venues and showed up in professional garb, on time, and then provided EXACTLY the right amount of intervention throughout. My husband and I could not have been happier with Kor Karaoke. We HIGHLY recommend him for any event. No one better in the Bay Area! read more

Bruce is a karaoke-loving professional. He's friendly, nice, and very supportive, which is great for the song-shy. The song-list? Extensive and very well-organized so it's easy to search. I've never even gone to Cat Club in San Francisco outside of karaoke on Wednesdays. Bruce (and Kor Karaoke) makes the experience so much fun! See you next Wednesday.... read more

Bruce has the best and largest song list I have ever seen!! He has Everything from slow jams to the heaviest fucking metal tracks. Tool to Anthrax to The Beatles to all the top hits an Karaoke classics, Bruce has it all!!!! Thank you for being the best KJ ever!!!! -Carlo read more

I love coming here to sing with my girls. They got great song selection, nice equipments and just an overall good vibe. We spent many nights crooning our favorite songs here. read more

Bruce Rogers of KOR Karaoke has got the best song selection I've ever seen. His songlist is the size of a phone book. He's got everything from the Andrews Sisters to ZZ Top. If a karaoke version of a song exists, chances are Bruce has it (and if not, he can probably get it for you). He's constantly updating his selection, and he even has the more obscure ones that you've always tried to find. (He's the only KJ I know of who has songs from "Hedwig and the Angry Inch," as well as the "Buffy" musical episode.) In addition, Bruce makes sure everyone has fun and gets a fair turn at singing. He's a true professional at what he does. Bruce is available for parties and private events, and also spins three nights a week at King of Clubs in Mountain View. So go out and sing! read more

Outstanding guy, service, professionalism, and price. We hired him for a bachelorette party and he was a blast!

Really I can't say enough great things about Bruce. Always love the smile and hug each time I come to King of Clubs to sing... He's just about the most pleasant person I know... (tied with Timmie). xoxox (as others have said - great selection, great service, and great equipment) ;) read more

So up until a couple of months ago, my only experience with karaoke was pretty lackluster.You know those Japantown little private rooms where its just a couple of friends and a screen? Somehow I ended up at an awesomely intimate bar that Bruce was KJ'ing. Very few people were there, all seemingly characters in a David Lynch film (myself included) and we wouldn't have it any other way. Two drinks later and I sang my first song. After the initial burning, red faced-humiliation wore off, I realized I was smiling, and I wanted more. After all, I've been on a kick lately to try things that are a bit uncomfortable.I'm even getting married soon...but, I digress. Now, its become a sort of ritual, every Wednesday...and one of my best friends and I look forward to it all week. Here it is Friday, and I wish it was Wednesday. The fact that every one of his reviews here is 5 stars is a testament to not only how awesome he is, but how appreciative we are of him. We love Bruce! read more

Bruce did an awesome job at my birthday bash last night; he made sure the songs were queued when people wanted to sing and there were myriads of songs to pick from. All my guests have been checking in today and said that it was one of the best paties they'd ever been to! read more

Kor Karaoke - Karaoke Near Me

Once you experience Kor, you will find it difficult to settle for any other karaoke experience. To know Kor is to love Kor.

My Wednesday nights are always spent at the Cat Club, and it's mostly due to Bruce and KOR Karaoke. Several years ago, I realized that I wanted to sing on a regular basis, but I didn't want to have the obligation of being in a choir or band. I want to be able to show up, sing a few songs, and go home. A friend, who sings regularly at Bruce's shows in Mountain View, invited me along to sing karaoke. I was hooked! I started with Bruce in SF at Julie's and then when they closed, the whole crowd pretty much moved over to the Cat Club (I'm going to write their review next). Our bartender, Rachel (who doesn't sing often enough), our regulars (me and four or five others) and even some of the other patrons just picked up at Cat Club pretty much where we left off. Bruce has the greatest song list, and he's always been wonderful about getting songs for me, if he didn't have them. I like his method for managing his rotation of singers. I feel like he tries to get everyone up to sing as soon as he can, and then tries to follow the same order as much as possible. Besides having such an extensive song list, Bruce's shows (and I've been in San Francisco and in Mountain View) are well attended, but not super crowded (usually). When I've gone to other karaoke bars, it was sometimes hard to get a song in, because they were so busy. Bruce is friendly and welcomes new people and tries to get to know the people who come to his shows. He's encouraging of those who are shy, and even gives me confidence to try songs that I don't think I can sing. I occasionally visit other karaoke shows, and I know several of the other KJs around town. I like Bruce's show the best! read more

Bruce is the best. He's professional, friendly, and just the nicest. Easily the best KJ I've ever known, and with the most diverse and expansive songbook! I just can't recommend him highly enough. Yelp won't let me use emojis in my review, but picture like sixty or seventy 100 emojis, a happy cat, and maybe a rainbow or three. read more

I'd been to many karaoke nights, but never felt comfortable enough to get up a sing until I was at Kor Karaoke night at King of Clubs (Bruce is there Thursday, Sunday, and Monday nights). Bruce not only has one of the most eclectic song books I've ever seen, he also makes everyone feel super comfortable and accepted no matter how good or bad you are. There are a few things that really make Bruce stand out from the KJ crowd beyond just being nice and having a great song selection. -He puts the current rotation up on a whiteboard so you can always check to see how soon you'll be up. Really nice for smokers so you can judge whether you have time for one more before you're up. -His website is always kept up to date with the latest song additions as well as being searchable so if you have one of those mid-week "I wonder if he has that one?" moments, you can find out right then. It also lists where he's playing and at what times since he spins at a few different places. -His tip jar also displays his paypal address so if you don't have enough cash on hand to tip him right there, you can do it online later. Cause you should always tip your KJ! -There are always plenty of song books available even on a busy night and they're always in good condition and aren't missing pages (unless someone did it that night). Also, at the beginning of the book is a list of all the record labels and a rating on the quality of each so if there's multiple options for one song, you can be sure to pick the best one. -Bruce always sings in the rotation which I think is totally awesome. He finds the most esoteric songs to sing too so it's very entertaining. :) -For regulars, he supplies envelopes to save all your slips so you don't have to write them out every night. He keeps them in alphabetized drawers so you can find them easily. Basically, he's just hands-down the best KJ in the Bay Area, and possibly in all of Northern California. If you like karaoke, you owe it to yourself to go find him! read more

Kor Karaoke is amazing!!.. I would give him 10 stars if I could... whenever I go somewhere else for karaoke, they always fail to do as an awesome job as Bruce does. His song selection is fantastic, super professional and his equipment always sound fabulous. Bruce actually came out to a nearby restaurant to KJ my wedding afterparty and we all had a blast! Stop by and visit whenever he has a Karaoke night.. you wont be disappointed!! read more

There is a reason why Kor Karaoke is one of the best KJs in the area. No matter if you are a terrific singer, or a horrible one (like me), everyone feels welcome, comfortable, and at home. I've been going to KJ Bruce's shows for over 3 years, and it's the only karaoke show that makes me feel comfortable enough to sing. I wish I really knew how to describe it, but Bruce manages to weave this atmosphere of security and warmth. The audience is always smiling and enjoying themselves so much that any nerves just seem to melt away. Another calming factor is the number of songs you can select from. It's almost overwhelming. No matter what genre, you can pretty much guarantee that you will find a lot of your favorite songs to choose from. And it's always much easier to get up and sing when it's a song you know by heart and connect to. Plus, his catalog is online at his website, www.korkaraoke.com, so you can even check for the song and "prepare" before you go. There's so many good things to say about a Kor Karaoke show that I don't know where to begin. So, my best advice is to just go check out his show and enjoy. You will be so glad you did!!! read more

I wish I could give more than 5 stars... A few months ago, my friend invited me to karaoke night at some dive bar in RWC, Bobby D's. I have rarely missed a Wednesday night since! Getting to know Bruce has been a pleasure, and he makes karaoke so fun! I'd seriously have him DJ my wedding whenever that comes around solely for his personality, but seriously, he's awesome, and so is his business! He has every song you can pretty much think of, and his website allows you to request ones he doesn't have! Go Bruce! read more

I must just agree with everything that's been said already.... Bruce is the nicest person I've ever met, awesome KJ, ridiculously complete songlist. When I want to sing karaoke, I find out where he'll be and I go there. And I LOVE me some karaoke, so it's not like this is just some off-the-cuff review here. You can't have a bad night if Bruce is around. :) read more

Hands down the most amazing Karaoke gig in the Bay Area! Bruce ROCKS!! Hired him for my birthday party, everything went smoothly, no problems. Cannot say enough positive stuff about his operation.,, the man is a genuine professional. read more

I had a blast singing my heart out with friends at a recent event. Bruce had a wide selection of songs played through a top notch sound system. I will definitely call on him again for my next event. read more

Bruce of KOR is an absolutely top notch DJ. He is professional in what he does, friendly, respectful, and keeps a fair rotation. He has an extremely large collection of songs and makes PDF files available for download on his website so we can have his song list on our Smartphones. We attend his events at King of Clubs and would definitely go to other venues to be a part of his events. Every once in a while, he'll jump out of the booth and sing a favorite of his own, which adds even more energy to his events. We highly recommend Bruce and KOR. read more

Great place here!!! Good sound, and karaoke selection... They don't do bribe rotation bump ups either.. Good place!!

I first enjoyed Kor Karaoke at King of Clubs a few years ago. I loved how friendly and laid back Bruce was. Even people who had never sung before got up and had a blast. I have been back to the club a few times and been to several private events where Kor Karaoke was the featured entertainment. Bruce's selection of songs is great! He has pop, country, rock, show tunes, classics, you name it. Not to mention that every time I go to a Kor Karaoke party I find yet more songs have been added to the library. Plus if you go to his website http://korkaraoke.com/index.html you can even browse or search through his song list. I have never had a bad time at a Kor Karaoke party. If you get a chance to go to any Kor Karaoke event DO IT! You Will find songs you know, and even if you decide not to sing you will absolutely have fun with Bruce as the KJ! read more

We hired Kor Karaoke for a private function at work. Being filipino, I've had my share of Magic Mic parties - Bruce is the best KJ in the area. He has an incredible selection of music that got even our CEO singing at the top of her lungs. The event wouldn't have been have been the same without him! read more

Bruce is the best! Great song list, amazingly sweet guy!

Bruce is a professional and always makes you feel at home. He helps you find the song you want and he usually has it. His selection is eclectic enough to please everybody. read more

I would give Bruce of KoR Karaoke 6 stars, he is that good. I have found too many other KJ's do not take their job seriously. Bruce is always pleasant and professional with his customers. His song selection and sound equipment are levels above the competition in the South Bay Area. Bruce's skill at managing karaoke is a huge plus and makes the event enjoyable for everyone. By comparison, you will often find a KJ whose sound system consists of a few pages of karaoke CD's, a couple of badly placed speakers and a cheap mic plugged into a laptop computer, and that's it. read more

Kor Karaoke has, by far, the best song selection I've seen! I've been going to their shows at the King of Clubs, Cat Club, Bobby D's, and now Renegades for over 13 years and have been to private parties that booked them as well. They do their best to make sure that everyone has songs they love to sing and feels comfortable enough to sing them. Bruce, the owner and operator, insists on high quality in both his song selections and sound equipment. He makes sure that you will sound your best, no matter your vocal talent! With Kor Karaoke, it's all about making sure everyone has a good time. read more

Kor Karaoke is great. Bruce is a one-man karaoke wonder! Huge and comprehensive selection, very fair system for rotating through singers, and just a classy dude. He also DJs weddings and did a great job at ours. read more

Kor Karaoke was set up for my 21st birthday and I had a blast! There was a great variety of music; from showtunes to Ave Q to classics like Nat King Cole and the Beatles to Pop like Paramore. We performed some Third Eye Blind, and watched other people have fun all night til the wee hours of the morning. Bruce even got up and did a few numbers. Best birthday I've ever had, and it's alot in part to Bruce and the fun time we had. read more

I have NEVER had a better time at karaoke than with KOR Karaoke. His song list is extensive and very well organized.

I attended a Kor Karakoe event and had a total and complete BLAST!!! Not to mention, the song collection was more comprehensive and organized than any other show of it's kind. If I could afford to follow the show to every venue, I would. read more
