January 19, 2026Running With Pianos is amazing. They were able to play what we wanted in an incredibly polished way. I'd recommend them for any event, small or large

July 29, 2025Running with Pianos plays songs we know and love, but not the songs we hear everywhere else. A band that defies categorization. They are talented musicians that are a breath of fresh air in the live music scene. If you are looking for something a little more unexpected. They are the band you want.

July 7, 2025Running with Pianos performed at my partner’s 60th surprise birthday party, held outside on our property.
The selection of music was fabulous! People danced, watched, enjoyed…
Shannon was a pleasure to do the planning with. All the band members were respectful and fun to spend the evening together.
Highly recommend!!!
