“She was just perfect for our memorial celebration - showed up early, was kind, poised, and extremely talented. She played a wide variety of music. Our guests were so impressed! ”
Overview
Equally at home with jazz standards, light classical, pop, and show tunes, Steve provides the perfect musical complement for any event. Playing solo acoustic or electric piano, he can also sound like a trio of musicians when he adds recorded tracks of bass and drums. Steve's tasteful interpretations of familiar tunes help to create a wonderful sonic backdrop for any occasion.
Also available as a 2 or 3-piece group with saxophone and guitar, playing jazz, blues, funk, Latin, and pop tunes.
