Ballads & Daydreams Jazz Duo

We have a set for any occasion, whether you want us as tasteful background characters of your cocktail hour, or commanding the attention of your guests in a concert hour. Expect to see us set up and soundchecked at least 30 minutes before we are expected to play, bringing in our own gear with a small, minimalist footprint. Our performance can be amplified with our speakers to your and your guests' tastes. If you have a well-maintained acoustic piano, we can also perform fully acoustic as well for a classy, understated experience.

Our names are Rachel and Lawrence, and we are the piano & vocal duo "Ballads & Daydreams". We specialize in jazz, pop, and classical music. We perform around the Bay Area, and occasionally livestream our concerts as well. We have music for all occasions including a special holiday set. We are completely self-sufficient, and are comfortable bringing our own equipment, including digital keyboards, mics, speakers, and a professional sound system.

We would love to have you on our calendar! Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions.

We bring all our own equipment (instruments, speakers, and cables) and can even operate for a few hours without power. If you have an acoustic piano that we can play, please let us know. We can also use your equipment if you prefer.
