Joe Croyle Concert-Over the Rainbow
I am a member of the Vocal Group Hall of Fame. I can work as a single (Piano and Voice), duo (Piano, Voice and Guitar or Bass), trio (Piano, Voice, Bass or Guitar, Drums). I am a very good singer and have years of playing at private parties all over Los Angeles. I am excellent at classic standards. My music is great for background ambiance.

My style of singing is American Song Book. I can sing and play just about any song from that era as well as more contemporary genres. I am good at requests and I can create any ambiance you want-From
St. Patrick's Day to Christmas and everything in between. I am easy going and because I have worked in the entertainment industry for many years, I can get along with just about everybody. Because can ply keyboard and sing, I can create easy listening background music for your guests so they don't have to scream to carry on a conversation!
