David Webb Ambient Pianist from Austin, TX

My task is to provide a pleasant and aesthetically pleasing experience. Often, my job is to simply be ambient/background music for parties or gatherings. I play a wide repertoire of styles and my goal is to make the audience aware that I am present and offering a little something extra while at the same time allowing for conversation. I enjoy spontaneity, take requests and will have as much or as little interaction as audience members desire and have turned piano bar gigs into full blown weekly concert series by playing my heart out and interacting with audience members. For wedding ceremonies, I meet with clients and determine their desires. I've had brides march down the aisle to a tango or Edith Piaf chanson and had couples exiting to Vince Guaraldi's "Linus and Lucy", as well as an all Duke Ellington ceremony. I encourage couples to be creative in their choice of ceremony music, as it is their very special day and I want the music to be a memorable part of it. I have a wide range of potential ceremony repertoire and gladly entertain all suggestions.
