Mom’s wake...

Jeffrey was just what I was hoping for in someone who could play Irish tunes and tunes from the 30’s and 40’s. He was so professional...Showed up on time and even played longer than the time allotted. He has a great personality and seems to really enjoy playing for everyone. We requested a special Irish song that he had never heard of the prelude, which we wanted in our presentation, and there was hardly a dry eye in the room...I cannot recommend him enough...Helen Miles

Fantastic Performance by Jeffrey Bowen

If you are considering a talented pianist and entertainer for your event, I highly recommend Jeffrey. Jeffrey provided piano music for a 50th birthday celebration at our home playing classic piano bar music. He was very aware of the crowd and adjusted volume and genre of music to accommodate the guests' interests. Several guests joined him around the piano to sing favorite tunes. His music definitely contributed to a great party for all. I would definitely hire him again.

What to Expect

The style and tone of the entertainment would be what the client wants and would be well discussed ahead of time. There are usually two to three songs to warm up the audience, and then a pleasant request to have them clap and sing along.

The selections would be chosen specifically and would be well known, upbeat songs where most everyone would know the words. Depending on the time frame, there may be an opportunity to have someone come up and sing. After establishing a comfort with the crowd, there may even be an opportunity for the audience to be asked to 'call out' songs they would like to hear. By keeping in the style and genre of what has been played, most likely the songs they want would be very familiar and not a problem in performing. I also have a laptop handy with hundreds of lyrics available as a back up.

You can also expect to have someone who is professionally dressed, pleasant on all aspects of hiring and performance, and an upbeat song list and dialogue that is never vulgar or off-color. The goal is to have everyone leaving feeling happy and talking about how much fun they had.

About

Jeffrey Bowen has a lifetime of performance experience, entertaining audiences since age 11. Originally from the Lafayette, IN area, he sang and played through high school and college throughout Indiana and Illinois, including the Decatur Park Singers for five summers.

While living in Nashville, TN for 17 years, Jeffrey honed his entertainment skills working with colleagues on stage and in theater settings. He scored an original Easter cantata "The Story Of The Cross" and co-produced shows. Playing the Ryman Auditorium, Grand Ole Opry House and Opryland Hotel were highlights of his time in Nashville.

His favorite genre is Pop and Rock, especially the music of Elton John, Billy Joel and Neil Diamond and many other classics from the 60s to modern day hits. Working years in party and piano bar settings has taught Jeffrey to develop the ability to play many requests. This allows him to tailor the entertainment for a client, creating a very upbeat and fun event.

His life experiences have been expressed in his CD "Frivolous", which was released Summer of 2015. Jeffrey currently works in Indianapolis as a performer, writer and arranger as well as Music/Vocal Director for various theaters.

Additional Booking Notes

For sing-alongs and "live karaoke", two additional mics and stands are provided as well screens with lyrics for easy participation. Regarding sound, I have everything needed for audiences up to 200+ in a ballroom/meeting room setting. This includes a Roland Junu-DS stage piano (keyboard) with keyboard stand, small sound system with two speaker towers, small monitor system, two microphones, mic stand and a table with a tablecloth.

I do have some staging or lighting equipment.

Fee will be higher for gigs outside of Indianapolis.
