I've been called a human jukebox. I play tons of popular songs on piano from the 60s-now that people love to sing along to. I also play lots of songs that no one ever expects to hear on a piano, but they sound great. My music is also great background music for those who just want to listen, such as in restaurants or craft fairs.
Adrian did a fantastic job playing piano for our wedding and reception. After being booked, Adrian was extremely responsive to communications and went out of his way to meet with us and go over our preferences for the big day. On our wedding day, he played for a five-hour block, incorporated just about all of the (numerous) song requests we gave him beforehand on short notice, and overall
just struck the perfect tone for our event. He handled both the subdued dinner playlist and the more energetic dance numbers with aplomb. Several guests mentioned him as a highlight of the experience, and we totally agreed. Thank you so much, Adrian!
Response from Adrian Cohen:
Hi William, thank you so much for this great review! It was a pleasure playing for you and your friends. I hope you have a long, happy marriage!
It has been such a pleasure having Adrian Cohen entertain our guests with his amazing piano talents. Adrian plays everyone's favorites from the 60's to today and can accommodate any type of party or dining atmosphere with his enormous array of songs. I highly recommend Adrian for any of your music needs! He is excellent!
Response from Adrian Cohen:
Thanks so much! I really loved playing at your country club!
I am Lori Silvia. I've had the pleasure of meeting Adrian Cohen at The Updike Room Greenwich Hotel. He always captures the attention of everyone in the room. Adrian plays with a passion. He can get the entire room singing along. I was amazed at how he got every person singing the entire Bohemian Rapsody. As soon as he hits the stage, he brings a positive energy to his listeners. I have become a fan. 🎼🌹🎼
Response from Adrian Cohen:
Thanks Lori! The Updike Room is always my favorite place to play.

I will play piano covers of popular songs. On piano, I play instruments that can be heard in the song, including all the vocals. I'll also often play requests. People like to sing while I play.
I've been playing piano since I was 6. I play by ear and can read music. I graduated from Berklee College of Music and majored in songwriting. I plan to release my 5th album of original indie rock in '23. I've had a couple songs get onto Grammy ballots and some have been on tv shows. Most of my original songs feature guest singers. When I play in concert, I don't sing, but sometimes have a singer accompany me. When I perform, it's just covers because that makes it easier for listeners to sing along.
I usually bring my own things, but if you have stuff I don't need to bring, that would be great.
