I am an experienced self-accompanied vocalist (piano and guitar) and active musician based in Portland, OR. Think a combination of Sara Bareilles, Brandi Carlisle, and Regina Spektor. I am a Berklee College of Music alum and I have been a piano teacher for 5 years. My background is as a music director for a cappella and accompanist for musical theatre.
Because of my accompanist background, I enjoy creating a soundtrack to events and experiences with music. I can offer a unique, unforgettable and curated repertoire for your next event. Can't wait to work with you!

December 24, 2018Bridget was a star at our Family Christmas party with about 70-80 guests. She arrived on time and with a great attitude. Bridget sings beautifully while playing piano or guitar, to just about anything you want to hear. She even played the piano while some of my more ambitious guests took to the mic to sing along with her. I definitely recommend Bridget Driscoll for any event your planning and I hope she’ll play for us again soon!

I frame events in a similar way to how I would score a film or a musical. I can provide my own keyboard, guitar, mic and amplification if necessary. My goal is to capture the vision of the client with my music and be a cohesive addition to the atmosphere of the event. I am an advanced pianist, singer and guitarist and interchange comfortably between all three. I am most versed in pop, folk and jazz genres. I learn rep quickly and am comfortable improvising if your best friend from college wants bust out their rendition of "Don't Stop Believing" at the 11th hour. My repertoire is completely collaborative and customized for each event.
Bridget Driscoll is a singer-songwriter-accompanist based in Portland, OR. She moved west from Boston after attending Emerson College, where she earned a BFA in Theatre & Performance and a minor in Music Technology from Berklee College of Music. Bridget is a career administrator and has been a teaching piano as a side hustle for 5 years, introducing hundreds of students to her favorite instrument.
I have my own equipment and instruments, including: a keyboard, guitar, microphone, amp and necessary cables. Can easily plug into any PA or sound system at the venue. I have a background in production and live sound and can troubleshoot with the on-site engineer if any issues arise.
