The sets and presentation depend on your event. Is it an art deco or flapper party? Is it a cocktail hour? I like to consult with you and tailor the set list and visual presentation of the music to your event. This makes playing more rewarding for me and the event more cohesive as well. I can do all-vocal tunes or no vocal tunes, I enjoy playing jazz piano bar as much as playing soul covers, it just depends on you.

We are professionals and provide high quality music for your event. I only work with professional musicians and pay them accordingly. I am interested in playing only for those very special events that punctuate your life and add something special.

Music is more than communication and connection; it is an experience that can never be recaptured or recreated, a moment in time and sound that binds us. I have been playing piano for forty years and guitar for thirty. I have twenty years of experience performing on both instruments professionally along with bass, mandolin, and voice in many countries and cities. I have also studied flute, violin, and drums formally for several years each. I am a full-time musician and I also direct choirs and sometimes community jazz bands should my services be needed. I enjoy collaboration and building community and connection through music.

I can bring my own PA and will always prefer to bring my own gear including instruments, microphones and stands. I enjoy playing pianos at the venue or bringing my own keyboard if needed. If there is a mixing board or drum kit or speakers at your venue I would like to have more information before I decide what to bring as I can bring what is needed and want to make sure it sounds good.
