About

I play the piano and sing. I can use a fake book, play by memory, or just make it up as I go. People like my playing. I play standards, boogie, blues, and versions of just about anything you can imagine. If I don't know it, sing a few bars for me or I can look it up on Google and learn it for the next time.

I played at The Crowne Plaza in Dayton, Ohio as well as in local theaters.
I am looking for the chance to find some adventure by playing as a cocktail pianist either overseas or on a cruise ship.

I am available for a Skype audition as well.

Additional booking notes

An acoustic piano (in tune) is my favorite instrument but I can also play an electronic keyboard and have a small one with 68 keys. Would need to plug it into an amplifier and speakers.
