Absolutely superb!!

Philip Adair was more than we could have ever hoped for. He was punctual, appropriately dressed, professional, and easy to work with. He did everything we asked of him so well. He pivoted when needed and filled in when needed. We want him to play for our Christmas Eve church service forever going forward. Five big gold stars and many thumbs up.

About

I am an Atlanta native, and I've been playing professionally for over 10 years.
I started playing classical piano at age 7 and got into jazz in high school. I went to college for music, spending some years in Memphis, TN, and then in Austin, TX, playing with various bands as well as by myself as a solo act while going to school. I received a Bachelor's degree in music from Huston-Tillotson University in May of 2012.
Since moving back to the Atlanta area in 2012, I have been performing in corporate bands, as well as attending the occasional jam session and performing at hotels and other venues. I play music from a diverse array of genres, from Jazz to 70's Soul to R&B to Top 40 and Radio hits - so you might expect to hear songs by Herbie Hancock, Miles Davis, Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Billy Joel, Elton John, Bruno Mars, Ceelo Green and others, as well as my own original music and free-form Jazz improvisation.

Additional booking notes

For larger events I will provide my own sound equipment for a fee.
