About Vendor 

Learn more about this vendor for your event.

Live music is a collective experience of shared emotions and Damian Espinosa continues to bring that experience to venues around Chicago. He has played piano in many diverse musical settings as both a jazz leader and as sideman, as a solo pianist, accompanist, for stage productions, operas, Second City, and even for a silent film. His piano style combines elements of jazz, classical, rock, and latin. The music yields a wealth of tantalizing harmonic colors and rhythmic grooves that span the continuum of jazz. Currently Damian is involved in many creative projects that include traditional jazz, mainstream jazz, pop, funk, and avant-garde. He also stays busy as a composer and arranger. Damian Espinosa brings the music that gets toes tapping, heads bobbing, and smiles glowing to the rhythmic flow of jazz, Chicago-style. Damian performs as a solo pianist, leads a jazz trio (piano, bass, drums), and has accompanied numerous singers in and around Chicago. Damian can put together any kind of ensemble and customize the sound to meet the desired needs of the event.
