Justin's Piano, Accordion, and Small Ensembles

Expect someone to be cheerful, on time, and respect what you desire for your specific event. Playing piano is the easy part that's a given. When you choose me, you will find that I want to go the extra mile and contribute to the theme of your event. I've had people request dozens of songs to me within 48 hours and I did what I could to make it work so they could get their ideal experience. Planning an event can be tough, and a lot of times things will not go as plan. I understand that being a professional means being flexible and being ready for any change-ups. I take pride in trying to be the best prepared I can be, while also being flexible to provide your specific customer service experience.

Justin is a dynamic and versatile performer based in the Metropolitan area, known for his wide-ranging musical talents and vibrant stage presence. His performance experience spans an impressive variety of genres and settings—from leading rock bands (once opening for the legendary Jefferson Starship) to conducting orchestras for musical theater productions.

Justin is a familiar face at local farmer’s markets, Oktoberfests, coffee houses, restaurants, yoga studios, and private events, where he entertains with his lively playing. He also performs jazz at hotels and embassies, leads festive Christmas caroling groups, and brings traditional Indian music to life on harmonium and sitar—once even gracing the stage of the Kennedy Center.

Justin is also a respected figure in the accordion community. He services around 100 accordions annually through appraisals, repairs, and consignments, offering expert care and consultation. With a calendar full of over 100 performances each year, Justin brings joy, skill, and passion to every audience he meets.

I have done acoustic acts as well as supplied sound systems, microphones, and canopies for events. Additional charges may apply.
