I specialize in interactive, high-energy piano entertainment that brings people together through music, humor, and a warm, charismatic stage presence, covering feel-good favorites from the ’60s through today. My shows combine live piano and vocals with a high-energy, interactive performance that keeps guests engaged from the first song to the last. When I’m not on the road touring with national recording artist Uncle Kracker, I bring that same fun, crowd-engaging energy to events across the country. My performance style blends live vocals and piano, sing-alongs, feel-good favorites, audience interaction, and a request-friendly repertoire that appeals to guests of all ages. With a long background in the dueling-piano world and shows in 40+ states (plus international performances from Nova Scotia to Norway), I’ve developed a unique ability to read any room — from classy corporate functions to casual backyard parties — and create a musical experience that fits perfectly with the event. Private Parties: Birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, backyard bashes, holiday gatherings, or in-home celebrations. High-energy or low-key, I shape the vibe around your guests and your goals. Corporate Events: Company parties, award banquets, conferences, grand openings, client events, and holiday celebrations. Professional, polished, upbeat, and easy to work with. Cocktail Receptions & Networking Mixers: If you need something more atmosphere-driven, I can shift seamlessly into relaxed, polished background music that supports conversation without overpowering the room. My Rocktail Hour sets create an upscale vibe with an engaging musical touch. Fundraisers & Charity Events: I love supporting meaningful causes. I donate all tips directly to your organization and tailor the tone to encourage connection, participation, and generosity - always with respect for the event’s mission. Clients describe my style as fun, engaging, versatile, and reliable - someone who can elevate a room, bring guests together, and create memorable musical moments without ever stealing focus from the event itself. Whether you want a big sing-along moment, a classy soundtrack for a cocktail hour, or upbeat entertainment for your celebration, I’d love to help make your event unforgettable. Tell me your vision, and let’s create something special. FAQs Q: Do you bring your own equipment? A: Yes! I handle all sound and gear myself.
