February 2, 2022Provided class, charm and hours of enjoyment to our event!
Keyboard Dave was hired to play piano at our Engagement Cocktail Party. It was held at a fancy series of club rooms and Dave's music elevated the sophistication of our event greatly! He worked ahead of time on the music selections we requested (Cole Porter/Irving Berlin songbook, Vince Guaraldi, softer Elton John selections, Titanic song) and made the party extremely enjoyable for all the guests.
Here's a great example of Dave's depth of music selections. Without being requested, I noticed that Dave played some incidental music from the movie "Casablanca". It was a quiet piece from a scene between Humphrey Bogart and piano player Dooley Wilson where Bogart asks "What are you playing there?" The reply by Wilson, "Just a little something I've been working on."
Dave had a great attitude and was extremely professional. He asked if we preferred Jacket and Tie or Turtleneck. We chose the former, but were pleasantly surprised when he wore a bow tie, not the necktie that I assumed he would wear.
Dave's knowledge of music, great attitude and extremely high work ethic shined brightly during the three hours that he played at our event. If you hire Keyboard Dave for your event, you won't regret it! WELL DONE!

Thanks Thomas for the great review! It was certainly my pleasure and honor to play songs from such great composers as Porter, Berlin, Gershwin, Guaraldi, for you and your guests. Best wishes to you and your fiancée!

December 30, 2024Dave made our party!
Dave was so flexible to work with. We had planned a 90th birthday party where my mom lives and at the last minute had to cancel due to other residents having COVID. He worked with us and we were able to move the party up just for family. He played 40s and 50s music and it really made the party!
(it doesn't look like my rating tool but I gave him 5 stars)

About
My goal since an early age has been to entertain. I started piano lessons at age 6 and have continued playing my whole life, becoming increasingly more proficient through high school, honing my skills in recitals, high school plays, family gatherings, nursing homes, church and in several bands. I graduated from Nyack Conservatory of Music, studying classical and jazz piano and classical organ, gaining a new-found confidence in my ability to perform all styles and genres of music.
For the past 35 years I have entertained at restaurants, parties, special events and in churches in the New Jersey/ New York City areas, and now in the Atlanta, GA and Athens, GA areas and across the Southeastern U.S.
I love to make people happy through my music. I have been told that I have a uniquely inspired way of playing that touches the hearts of those who listen. From elegant solo piano for background music to set the mood, to a full band sound for dancing, to classical, religious or current love songs for your wedding, I play it all.
My repertoire numbers in the thousands and includes the following genres: Cocktail-Jazz-Standards-Holiday & Wedding music- Broadway Showtunes-Current Pop music- and Classical and Inspirational music, all played in my own unique style. I will also take requests and have a portable piano with background accompaniment and a synthesizer available if needed, or I will play your instrument.
I love performing as a One-Man-Band and to watch people come into the room thinking that 3 or 4 musicians are performing. My up-tempo selections are very danceable as well as my slow-dance selections. I have an assortment of audience participation numbers, or if needed, I can lead sing alongs.
Other Musical Services Available:
Therapeutic Musician
Accompanist for soloists or groups
Church or Synagogue Organist
Once again, I would be happy to talk to you about my rates and how I can help make your special event a memorable one. Or send me an email for more information and a listing of songs.
Book me now for your holiday gatherings while dates are available!
Musically Yours,
Keyboard Dave
