Great wedding Musician and great to work with

Judson was great to work with from the start. He sent us a playlist that had music he played to see if we like it. We then met with him via Zoom to talk over the event. He worked really well with the couple. He was professional, and did exactly what the couple wanted. He played the music they wanted to play in the piano and even had a playlist through his computer for the very specific songs they wanted for their first dance. 10/10 would recommend Judson.

Perfect pianist!!!

I cannot imagine having a better pianist for my daughter's wedding. Not only did he play everything we asked him to on the piano, he made my new son-in-law's dream come true by playing the organ as the newly married couple did their recessional. Judson is super talented and very kind. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for the perfect pianist!!!!

AMAZING PIANIST!

Judson not only took the time to learn specific songs for our wedding ceremony, he added his own special flare to some of the songs! He was so kind and easy to work with. He was also beyond timely, professional, and prepared for our event. I would hire him again in a heartbeat and recommend that anyone looking for a pianist in the Savannah/Charleston areas to book him. He was amazing!

Wonderful & Extremely Talented Pianist!

I had Judson play the piano in my home during a house-warming party. Prior to the event Judson was very communicative. He arrived early and was warmed up and ready to go at the scheduled time. Judson played throughout the entirety of the event. He is extremely talented and was a pleasure to have in our home. Our guests enjoyed the music as well. Thank you!

About

Judson Hurd grew up in the beautiful country of Paraguay, at an early age he was deeply influenced and mesmerized by this simple way of living. At the age four he stumbled across his mother's childhood piano. His first 'teacher' was an old instrumental piano cassette a missionary couple left after leaving the country. The expressive, folk, piano vibrations of Philip Aaberg (Judson's childhood idol) and the simple, romantic Latin culture had a creative impact on his music.

After years of being self taught and improvising smooth, cool grooves over Bach inventions his family moved to Ciudad Del Este where he began his formal studies at the Franz Schubert Conservatory. At the age of 12 Judson Hurd rose to be one of the prominent youth pianists of Paraguay. He went on to study music theory and composition at Young Harris College and the University of North Carolina at Greensboro School of Music.

Judson now resides in Wilmington, North Carolina where he is still moving audiences through his music. His music has reached over 2,000,000 views on YouTube. He writes music for radio, TV, including companies Android, Jaguar, Land Rover, the Oprah Show, PBS, recorded countless session work, and has performed alongside Five For Fighting, Gavin Degraw, Fighting Instinct, Todd Agnew, pianist David Nevue, and many others.

Additional Booking Notes

Judson Hurd has his own equipment if the event is outside or there is no piano. He will bring a full size digital professional sounding piano that is perfect and not overbearing for small and large occasions.
