Andrew Kaplan
Overview
I am a seasoned piano player who has performed for private affairs, corporate events, holistic fairs, holiday parties, wedding ceremonies, and receptions. My repertoire includes a variety of styles including Pop, Rock, Heavy Metal, Jazz, Show Tunes, Gospel, and Classical. I have my own keyboard, but I can perform on one at your site.
Through the course of the years, I developed an eclectic approach to my music. My attitude has been if I enjoy playing it, I will play it regardless of the genre. I would like to think the result has been a wide scope of music that appeals to a broader audience.
I look forward to performing at your functions. Thank-you in advance for the opportunity.

May 5, 2021Exceeded all expectations !
Andrew exceeded all expectations on our wedding day! We booked him to play the piano for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. Andrew played beautifully and our guests enjoyed the live music. leading up to our wedding, Mr. Kapplin was very professional and organized. Upon his request, he set up zoom calls and phone calls to discuss the event details. My wife and I often said, " out of all of our vendors, Andrew is the one most on top of things". It is very apparent that Andrew is enthusiastic about his art, and that shined as he performed at our wedding.

Our experience of having Andrew Kaplan play at our son's graduation dinner party was exceptional. Not only did he play beautifully, he was punctual, professional and our guest complimented us for having him play. I would certainly recommend him to all our friends and would not hesitate to book him again for our next event. We are so happy you recommended Andy. Thank you Gig Salad!

Andrew is very professional and takes great pride in his work. He quickly replied to my request and was very professional determining the specific needs for my event. Andrew was punctual and came very well prepared with a variety of music for the occasion. The guests at our Valentine's Dinner absolutely loved Andrew's music as part of the festivities and I received many compliments on his wonderful talents and contributions that made the evening extra special.

About
As far back as I can remember, I have always enjoyed being in front of the piano trying to make it sing. I was inspired to do so by the talent of my mother and older brother.
After giving my family members one too many headaches when I was much younger, I was given the opportunity to take piano lessons in order to refine my technique.
Through the course of the years, I developed an eclectic approach to my music. My attitude has been if I enjoy playing it, I will play it regardless of the genre. I would like to think the result has been a wide scope of music that appeals to a broader audience.
I look forward to performing at your functions. Thank-you in advance for the opportunity.
Additional booking notes
My equipment includes an 88-key electric piano with a damper pedal. I have a small amplifier that provides a fuller sound, along with several music stands for my sheet music. I have a surge protector unit, along with extension cord, that I can connect to a power outlet.
