Larry Calame
Overview
I play a wide variety of solo instrumental music (pop, jazz classical, etc), either on an acoustic piano, or on my portable digital piano, which sounds amazing and is battery powered, making it a perfect fit for outdoor events. I can also provide duos and larger combos, with or without vocals.

Larry was the perfect addition to our intimate wedding ceremony and reception gathering following. All the guests complimented his talent, the great music and ambiance he provided. Wouldn’t have been the same without Larry - thank you for making our day so wonderful!

About
Larry Calamé, pianist
If there is one thing to know about me it's that I love to play the piano. I was one of those precocious kids with perfect pitch, and I listened to and explored music from an early age. In college, I learned classical theory and jazz improvisation.
In my thirties, I embarked on a career in music performance, playing in various bands and formats, but I was most at home in solo piano gigs - at restaurants, Nordstrom and private parties. Over the years I've developed a massive repertoire (Bach to Bacharach, Broadway to Beatles - and much more), thanks to my ability to play by ear and my training.
At venues that lack a piano, I play on my digital piano that has a beautifully rich and expressive tone and a full set of 88 keys, but is nonetheless very compact and portable. It even runs on batteries for outdoor performances, and allows me to easily maintain just the right volume for each venue and occasion. I like to say that my music pairs well with wine and conversation.
I am currently performing Friday evenings at Marco's Cafe in Portland
