Overview

I have been a wedding pianist for 30 years and have played at varying venues (weddings, coffee houses, New Years Eve events, etc.) with my saxophone and piano/keyboard. I strive to take away the stress and worry of what your music will be like on your special day. You tell me how you want it done and I will work to make it happen so you don't have to worry about the music... you have enough to worry about.

A beautiful wedding ceremony

Aric was incredible! He was very professional and kind. He worked really well with us leading up to our wedding day and was flexible to make our vision come to life! The music was beautiful and made walking down the aisle so special. Thank you Aric!

Piano Accompanist for Informal Voice Recital

Aric was the prefect addition to the surprise voice recital I gave for my mom's birthday! He learned the pieces with no problem and provided a rehearsal space before the event. He was very nice about the fact that I hadn't practiced with an accompanist and was able to follow my lead. He also adapted to the informal nature of the event, playing an out-of-tune piano in a dusty room without batting an eye. THANK YOU, ARIC!

Booking information

Price range: $100-$1000

Gig length: 60 - 240 minutes

What to expect

I can be as small as a single corner space with just my keyboard (no sound system), or I can be as large as my keyboard, saxophone and full sound system with backing tracks. I am also able to potentially bring other players if you're looking for something in the way of a band. You can expect the best from me and will always show up early with a smile and willingness to give you the "worry-free" music you're looking for.
