Overview

With over 15 years of professional experience playing in weddings, worship services, parties, and much more, I have the knowledge and musical ability to make your event whatever you want it to be. Hire me to play solo piano, organ, guitar, flute, or to lead contemporary or traditional worship. I am also a classically trained vocalist. My repertoire ranges from Beethoven to the Beetles, from Rascal Flatts to Etta James.

I have an extensive musical library! Come for a listening session and we can find what's right for you. If you already have a specific song, I can find it and have it ready in 1 week. I am comfortable with chord sheets and traditional music.

Have keyboard, will travel!

What to expect

I am a well-rounded musician that can handle any atmosphere or genre. If you need a pianist who provides some live classical background music for your private party, a wedding pianist to play your favorite rock song as you walk down the aisle, a vocalist to lead your congregation in camp-meeting revival, or a guitar-strumming country girl to liven up your bachelorette, I'm your gal!

I can bring and set up all of my own equipment, seamlessly integrating into your sound system, or I will provide my own. I am a trained professional audio technician as well as a musician, so my sound will always be perfect for your space.

I love working with people and seeing their responses to my music. I love the weird requests, the old standards, and that new song I've never heard of, but will fall in love with for your event. I'm easy to work with and don't demand a lot of your time. I don't need much notice, or we can plan for months to get your set list just right. It's totally up to you.

About

I have a Bachelor of Arts in Music, with an Emphasis on Voice. I have been playing the piano for 30 years, and have experience in Christian, Classical, Broadway, and Contemporary music. I have played in around 50 weddings, hundreds of worship services, and many other events including funerals, holiday parties, and birthdays. I am comfortable accompanying choirs and other musicians, and sight reading music on the fly.

My goal for each event is simply to meet and exceed everyone's expectations. I will go the extra mile to be prepared for anything, ready to do whatever is required.

If you're looking for a church pianist, I have played professionally for churches since I was 12 years old including accompanying choirs and playing hymns, as well as playing solo special music. I have experience in traditional, blended, and contemporary praise music, and I am extremely comfortable in any church setting.

A little about my personal life: I have 3 daughters, one toddler, one in middle school, and one in high school. I have lived and worked in the Raleigh/Holly Springs area for over 3 years. I am very responsible (a little bit of a perfectionist), I have NEVER skipped out or failed to show up for a gig, and I enjoy making people happy through music.

Additional booking notes

You can either provide a piano or keyboard, however, for an extra fee, I will transport my own keyboard and amplifier to your event. I will only need a place with 2 plugs available.

So much more!!

Setup requirements

Option 1: I bring all the equipment I need from the piano to the speakers! All I need is access to a power outlet!

Option 2: You provide what you can, and I'll supplement with what I need.

Good lighting is helpful, but not required. Just let me know so I can bring a lamp.

I cannot set up my equipment if rain is in the forecast and there is not a covered area.
