Overview

I am a pianist with 20+ years of experience in jazz, classical, standards, and rock piano. I have played in several local bands, provided service music for local churches, played countless weddings and receptions, and was the pianist for the 5-Star, 5-Diamond resort, The Woodlands. I can provide beautiful piano music for a variety of events, including weddings, receptions, parties, and more. In addition to playing, I also specialize in parties, bringing a “piano man” type atmosphere to your party, complete with singalongs and requests! Don’t have a piano in your home or venue? I can provide all of my own equipment!

BOOK THIS MAN

We are so grateful to have booked John for our wedding day in Charleston. He went out of his way to learn a difficult song we had requested for the ceremony and took special requests by our guests during the cocktail hour. Our guests were absolutely delighted by his piano playing and kindness, and we couldn’t be happier with how the day went. Good luck to all the grooms who think they won’t get emotional if John is on the piano. He made our special day even more special!
