Overview
High-quality background dinner jazz for private parties, wedding receptions, and corporate events. I can play solo or with a trio, quartet, or even larger group depending on what you're looking for. I also sing and can take requests for a more personalized musical experience.

The guys from Occasion Jazz were incredible! Pierson was proactive in keeping in touch with me before our scheduled event. He was also very accomodating to my song requests for our Mardi Gras party. Occasion Jazz had our residents up and dancing - the ones seated were swaying and enjoying the music just as much! We have already had several requests to have them out again and I will gladly have them out for more!

September 28, 2023Perfect Musical Ambiance for High-profile VIP Event
Pierson created the exact musical ambiance I was looking for when hosting our 250-person VIP event to open a new hospital. He was timely, polite, and professional. He read the room to know when to play instrumental piano jazz and when to kick it up a notch with vocals. After many executives, staff members, and guests left, Pierson graciously played song requests of those employees who stayed behind to clean up...long after his contractual obligation had ended. As the AVP of Communications for a major healthcare system, I will happily enlist the musical talents of Pierson for future corporate or community events.

September 6, 2023Spouses surprise 60th birthday party.
Pierson Keating was hired to provide music for my wife's surprise 60th birthday party . He did an amazing job . He played a variety of music and took requests from the guest. Everyone who attended had a great time and asked me where did i find him. My wife was totally surprised and loved Pierson's entertainment. We highly recommend him for any occasion. He is a very talented musician and a nice and caring person .
