Debbie Gruber
Overview
Beautiful piano playing and singing is what you will get when you hire me. I have performed at The Cafe Escadrille, Seasons 52/Chestnut Hill, Emerald Rose, Flatbread and Ginger Gourmet, The Ritz Carlton Hotel Avery Bar, the Tewksbury Country Club, The Horseshoe Grill, The Pressroom, The Royal Sonesta and at many private and corporate functions. I also play at cocktail wedding receptions.
I currently play at Goodnight Johnnys American Music Bar doing Broadway and Pop Sing Alongs which are a blast and has become a specialty of mine. Requests are encouraged. I play songs from Hamilton, Dear Evan Hanson, Wicked, Les Miserables, Into the Woods and many many more!

September 22, 2025Great entertainer and very accommodating
We hired Debbie for our mother's 100th birthday party with nearly 100 people, some of whom shared the stage (unexpectedly!) with her. Debbie sang songs in French (my Mom's native country), from American musicals and the American Songbook and some very special requests. She was in a word..terriffic. Highly recommend her.

October 30, 2024100th birthday
Debbie entertained at my mother's 100th birthday. My mom resides at an assisted living facility and many of the residents are limited both physically and mentally. Debbie played all of the songs they knew as well as paying special attention to my mom. Everyone said what a wonderful time they had and how much fun it was. She adjusted completely to the crowd. I was so glad I chose Debbie for my event.

What to expect
I will arrive on time (ahead of time actually) to set up. I will be dressed very professionally. I will set up my keyboard and sound system if your event doesn't have one of their own. I can play background music at your event, lead a sing-a-long, or give a concert. I play a wide variety of selections including show tunes, jazz standards, classic rock, contemporary pop and pop/rock from the 80's and 90's. Please see my set list and you can choose the types of music you would like to hear!
About
I have a Master of Music degree and am a piano and voice teacher in addition to being a performer. I have performed as a singer/pianist for anniversary parties, birthday parties and corporate parties and at many restaurants and bars.
Additional booking notes
I can bring all equipment needed including monitor/speaker, mic, keyboard and stand. I just need enough room for setting up - approximately 10' x 10'.
