I am a classically trained piano player who has spent the last 20 years developing my own style of soft, mood-setting background piano; perfect for wedding ceremonies and receptions, country clubs, cocktail hours, dinner parties, or any social events. While I truly excel playing my own style,
I also can play and sing over 100 popular songs from the 70s 80s and 90s for sing alongs or venue gigs. I am also happy to learn to play any special requests you might have, just let me know if the gig for background piano or a performance so I can prepare material and equipment.
Doug -- aka The Piano Gentleman -- was exactly what we were looking for for our year-end celebration. He was professional, clean-cut, on-time, and delivered just the type of music we wanted. I would hire him again 10x over. The associates were so impressed! Doug made communication easy and honestly just all around made my job easier for the day. Thank you so much!
The Piano Gentleman provided our holiday party with a variety of enjoyable background music and holiday classics. Our guests really enjoyed the music and he truly was a fist class gentleman. We would definitely book him again.
He was great and played a wide selection for dinner and even learned a special song, which he played and sang! Will definitely invite him to play to other events
The Piano Gentleman played during our wedding ceremony and he did an amazing job! I asked for a specific song and he was able to do that without issue and make it super beautiful. Super professional and great at communicating!
The Piano Gentleman played a Friday night dinner service at the country club i work at. He added a great vibe for the crowd and made some fans throughout the night and will definitely have him back at The Cape Club. Highly recommended

I was classical trained to play piano originally, but my personal style is geared more to modern composers and rock/pop. I can play soft elegant background music that really compliments and classes up any event, as well as play and sing 100+ great songs. I write my own music and play with a lot of jam bands, and have played solo sets all around Boston and Providence at clubs and bars.
