Gerald Foster Detroit Metro Airport Pianist
Overview
A cocktail pianist sets the mood for any room. Right from the start, this magic works especially when a pianist studies his work and craft, as I have. Carefully selecting, rearranging each song, I've created a truly relaxing sound suitable for background music.

No better way to set the stage for the opening of our event, then by having Gerald play his lovely piano for our guests as they visit the registration area to pick up their credentials.
It was perfect, from pre-event conversations through the actual gig, perfectly professional and on time for all items for logistics.

It was our first time using Gerald and it won't be our last. It was short notice, but he was able to help us out. He arrived early, was very professional and everyone at the party commented on his performance. If you are able to book him do so, you won't be disappointed!
