Eric Jaber Sr

Experienced pianist with a baritone tenor voice. I have a well rounded repertoire that consist of jazz, standards, 50's, 60's 70's pop music as well as Blues, R n B, Motown, Soul, Country and Folk music. I also use classical music when appropriate and I play Guitar, Bass, harmonica and trombone for specific occasions. I love performing for people and I like joking around with the audience. I've been known to play "Name That Tune" with the audience and musical trivia. If requested, I can 1 hour featured artist shows, such as: Frank Sinatra, The Rat Pack, Neil Diamond, John Lennon, Roy Orbison, Ray Charles, Bob Dylan, Sam Cooke, Elton John, Billy Joel, John Denver and Elvis Presley. I have also done shows based on movie soundtracks such as, American Graffiti, The Phantom of the Opera and Belfast featuring Van Morrison's music.

Mom said the neighbor is selling a piano and I’ll buy it if one of you take lessons. The youngest of 3 said “I’ll do it!” That was me in 1963. Dragged through Brooklyn’s Bedford Stye once a week to take piano lessons. Mom sat behind me and learned a little on her own but I was really hooked. Dad was a fan of blue grass and taught me my first guitar chords and my big sister was a Beatles freak but my older brother was a musician and I vowed to follow in his footsteps. Through many church basement rehearsals and elementary school recitals by 1970 I was part of my brother’s road band. We worked together for 17 years. I work alone now, recording tracks to accompany myself and creating shows that feature some of my favorite performers. I’m a member of the Solo Musician’s Network here in the Delaware Valley and my wife and I have a son, daughter and grandson who are all very talented.
