Overview

I’ve spent more than 25 years playing piano and perform at all kinds of events: weddings, cocktail hours, dinner parties, birthdays, religious and spiritual services, funerals, choir concerts, theater productions, corporate gatherings, senior living communities, fundraisers, and more. I studied piano performance at the University of Notre Dame.

I’d love to bring live music to your next event — just reach out!

Could not have been better

Sam played piano at our wedding ceremony and keyboard at the reception. Her playing was truly stellar. She was was easy to work with and accommodated our various requests with a smile. During the planning process, Sam also provided ideas when we were unsure about the song selection.
It could not have been a better experience.

Amazing!

Highly recommend Sam. I hired her for a corporate event that had a theme. She was very intentional about the music selection, enthusiastic about the event, and has an amazing talent!

Party Pianist

We hired Samantha for a retirement celebration that just happen to fall during the holidays. She was of course on time and extremely professional and pleasant. The Christmas music she played was beautiful - recognizable and fun but classic and melodic - it was the perfect background to the day. She was very in tune with the speeches and interruptions of the event as well, tapering off and allowing each one without any awkward breaks. Our only regret is that we didn't utilize her for longer. Every guest noted her playing would have been welcomed throughout the rest of the lunch. This is the first time we have found ourselves in the need of a pianist, but next time we will know exactly who to request.

Misty - THANK YOU for these extremely gracious words! I loved playing for your event and absolutely would've loved to have been able to stay longer. Please do request me for your next event, I'd love to help out! And congrats again to your board member, wishing her the best in retirement!

Professional-On Time-Communicative-Engaging

We really enjoyed Samantha at our Volunteer/Staff Christmas party. She played well, honored our musical requests (given to her prior to the event) and was friendly with all people she interacted with. She responded quickly to all communications. We received so many compliments from the attendees about her piano playing. We'd definitely have her again at another event!

What to expect

I tailor every performance to the needs of the event and keep communication clear and professional from the initial quote to the final note and payment.

My typical setlist includes music from some of my biggest influences—Billy Joel, Elton John, John Legend, The Beatles, Coldplay, and many others. But I don’t stick to a fixed list! I’ll ask about the vibe you’re going for, your favorite artists or songs, and then share options I can play. From there, we’ll build the final playlist together, making adjustments up to a week before your event. If you have a specific request, I’ll do everything I can to learn and deliver it.

I’m glad to share my cell number for direct communication and always respond within 24 hours.

About

Playing the piano brings me immense joy. I started at age seven and love it more every day.

At 33, I carry a wide range of experience. I studied Piano Performance at the University of Notre Dame and accompanied choirs and theater groups throughout high school and college. I’ve played for weddings, cocktail hours, funerals, fundraisers, dinner and holiday parties, senior living communities, and beyond. I always look forward to adding new events and venues to my repertoire.

I work full-time in nonprofit tech, and I spend my evenings and weekends sharing music with others.

If you’re looking for a pianist who’s dedicated, versatile, and genuinely loves what she does, I’d be honored to be part of your event. Let’s chat!

Set list

Please ask for song recommendations for your event! I have several attachments I can send along, tailored to your specific needs.

Influences and inspiration

My musical influences span timeless classics and modern indie favorites, shaping a sound that’s warm, heartfelt, and deeply versatile. I draw inspiration from the storytelling and harmonies of Mumford & Sons, The Lumineers, and The Head and the Heart; the poetic depth of Joni Mitchell and Bon Iver; the anthemic style of Coldplay; and the soulful pop of John Legend and Jon McLaughlin. I also owe so much of my love for piano-driven music to legends like Billy Joel, Elton John, and The Beatles. Together, these artists inspire me to craft performances that feel familiar yet fresh — always tailored to your moment.
