September 9, 2019Flawlessly handles last minute changes
Cole was great, we engaged him very late in the game and had a little idea of what to do. He put together an itinerary and was so willing to adjust to last-minute changes when we almost double the wedding party. His music was beautiful and everyone enjoyed his variety.

About
I am a pianist and singer with a passion for keeping audiences engaged and entertained. I got my start playing music with classic rock bands when I was 16 years old and continued to perform music ever since. As I grew older, I studied liturgical music and can perform for weddings and memorial services in addition to any other type of event. The highlights of my career include traveling the US to perform in dozens of major cities and even performing in a piano bar aboard a cruise ship.
Additional booking notes
I have my own PA system and microphones and will bring this gear anywhere if needed for your event. This set up even works outdoors, provided there is cover for rain.
