Marc provided such a wonderful evening for us! From the start - he was great at communicating details, right up to what time he would arrive to the event. The whole evening was engaging and fun - getting even some of the most shy individuals participating. They provided such a fun and lively energy! Fantastic time had by all!

What to expect
Not just background music - this is live piano entertainment that brings people together.
My shows combine live piano and vocals with a high-energy, interactive performance that keeps guests engaged from the first song to the last, covering feel-good favorites from the ’60s through today.
Picture this: a singing pianist playing iconic pop, classic rock, and country hits. Guests tap glasses, mouth the lyrics, nudge each other with “Oh, I love this song,” and within minutes the room feels warmer, lighter, and more connected.
Whether it’s a corporate mixer, cocktail reception, holiday party, or backyard celebration, I read the room and set the perfect tone - upbeat, classy, or fully interactive.

About
Hi, I’m Marc - a singing pianist who brings energy, connection, and great vibes to every event.
From sing-alongs to slow dances, I deliver high-energy pop/rock/country entertainment that gets guests smiling, talking, and feeling part of the moment.
I’ve performed in 40+ states and internationally from Nova Scotia to Norway, opened for artists like Sheryl Crow and Daughtry, and I currently tour as Uncle Kracker’s keyboardist.
But the real magic happens at your event - creating real moments with real people. If you want music that brings the room to life (not just fills the space), I’d love to help make your night unforgettable.
