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.

What a pleasure it was to have Larry entertain at my wife's 65 birthday party
Great pianist. Larry was so easy to work with and was great about communicating details ahead of the event.

Perfect piano!

Larry was the perfect choice. Guests commented how much they enjoyed his talent and sensitivity to conversation, often choosing a piece that underscored the conversation. He also brought along songbooks for a holiday singalong. His lovely sense of humor is equal to his virtuosity. We will definitely ask him back for our next gathering

A fantastic experience!

Larry was excellent to work with, very flexible and versatile. An amazing musician, he could play anything we wanted. “Our song” is a bit obscure, so he went the extra mile and learned it for us! His music added the perfect backdrop to our wedding on the Willamette Star. We loved working with him and highly recommend him!

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
