November 4, 2023Charlie is Fabulous!
Charlie arrived early, checked out the piano, and played beautifully. He practiced with and accompanied a guest who played a guitar. Charlie was most accommodating in every way.

Charlie Lindner performed an excellent piano recital for our holiday party in an intimate living room setting. His professionalism was appreciated and his musical selections were well received by our guests. We would recommend him and consider his services for future events.

February 8, 2023Charlie the piano man!
I have witnessed Charlie play the piano/keyboard at all types of events with all types of genres over the past 20+ years. From large music festivals to auditoriums to local bars/clubs, he has done it all. He ALWAYS brings great energy and skill in any setting. Can’t wait to see him when he’s back in town in a few months!

February 8, 2023Charlie took my birthday party to the next level!
I hired Charlie Lindner to play piano at my birthday party and I couldn't have been happier! He is clearly a top-notch pianist who can play in so many different styles and made my party feel so much more lively. He was able to play smooth, jazzier tunes for dinner and more upbeat and energetic stuff when it was time to party. I'm really glad I hired him!!

About
Melting genres of music together is a talent Charlie Lindner has marinated over time.
Always striving to entertain in new and exciting ways, Charlie has made a name for himself in various cities across the US, playing jazz, blues, and especially electronic dance music to push his musical boundaries.
Lindner enjoys two types of musical performances the most. The sit-down grand piano concerts and the bar/venue dual set concerts that offer a taste of jazz in the first set and Live electronic dance in the second set!
Lindner’s past projects showcase his range and depth as a musician, with experience in Progressive Rock (Derelict Brew, 1999), Jazz-Fusion (The Move, 2003), Funk and Soul (Macro Meltdown 2008), Live Electronic Dance Music (The Manhattan Project, 2010), and Jazz (Charlie Lindner Trio, 2015). The Manhattan Project, one of Lindner’s most successful endeavors, has resulted in international tours, sharing the stage with top electronic artists such as Bassnectar, The Disco Biscuits, Lotus, Papadosio, Big Gigantic, and many more!
Most recently, Lindner has been bringing his piano compositions into Ableton (an electronic music software) to explore and create sounds during a live performance. Microphones placed in his piano pick up the sound and send it through Ableton where audio effects are added.
Lindner’s sit down concerts offer an array of styles, from classics like “As Time Goes By” to original Jazz arrangements of the Who, Weezer, and Nirvana. Lindner has also been known to bring random members of the audience on stage unexpectedly, and encourages participants to be inspired by the music and draw a picture during sit-down performances. This unique quirk adds an element of fun and surprise to the shows, and has created a collection of awesome fan art!
Lindner’s live electronic concerts fire up the crowd with nonstop four on floor grooves and high energy live bass and drums. Mixing in popular remixes and vocal samples puts the Charlie Lindner as boarderline DJ and showtime crowd pleaser.
