Carl was professional, fun and entertaining for our holiday party! He sang a variety of songs and mixed in a bunch of fun Christmas songs. He brought microphones and shakers so we could sing and play along. I'd recommend Carl to others in a heartbeat!

Response from Carl on Keys:
This was such a fun party! Thank you Jessica for a great time. Your friends were very welcoming and fun. I am glad you enjoyed it and hope we can do it again soon!
Carl can do it all!! We have an outside 4th of July party every year. Carl was our entertainment this year and did not disappoint. He plays all the hits and takes requests, he even let me come up and sing a song or two with him. He will cater to your specific party. Not only does he sing and play the key board he is excellent with the guitar as well. I would recommend him for any size party.

Carl Joseph (AKA: Carl on the Keys) is a wonderful entertainer that expertly plays both the piano and guitar! He is a perfect fit at Bryan’s American Grille making sure to tailor his music and sound levels to the crowd. He has a wide selection of popular covers that everyone can sing along to! Carl dresses for the occasion or holiday, engages the audience in fun banter, and is always the consummate professional! We have booked Carl as a solo artist and his band (Site 27) several times and have never been disappointed. I highly recommend you consider Carl for a gig or two!

Response from Carl on Keys:
Thank you Bryan for the wonderful words! I always have a great time playing at your restaurant, with its warm and welcoming atmosphere. The St. Patrick’s Day show was especially fun. I felt a great reception from the audience for my Irish folk tunes set! I look forward to playing there again very soon!

What to Expect
I typically start with a piano set for the first half of the show and move to acoustic guitar for the second half. I can mix it up or just do piano or guitar. I enjoy interacting with the crowd in a party atmosphere, or just creating a nice background for a group that is looking for that. I love taking requests.
About
I've been playing in my band Site 27 for several years as a vocalist, keyboardist, and guitarist doing covers from the 60s to today. I enjoy playing solo shows with a mix of keyboard and guitar songs.
Additional Booking Notes
I provide my own sound system, and have lighting I may bring if needed. I need power near the performance area.
