Combining years of experience from different bands and different styles, Francis McGrath creates a unique mood for formal or casual events. He seamlessly switches from jazz to pop to new age. Guests enjoy the background music until their ears are tickled by a familiar melody or pleasant memory.
If you do not have a piano, Francis can bring a Kurzweil PC4 keyboard and an amp that sounds great in big or small rooms, without drowning out conversations.
Francis is an excellent performer/pianist. He was a wonderful addition to my Open House and everyone loved it.
Francis was awesome and played beautifully on our antique piano for our sons rehearsal dinner.
Francis played beautifully providing wonderful tunes for out guests.
I recently had the pleasure of working with Francis for my wedding ceremony, and I couldn't be happier with the music he provided. My fiancé's (now husbands) favorite Star Wars song that I walked down the aisle to was absolutely perfect and truly made the moment magical. Francis was so accommodating to our needs. He knew it was a military wedding on a short notice and I didn’t have to worry that he was going to be able to help me out. He was so willing to play the songs we wanted. Francis's talent and professionalism exceeded my expectations, and I am so grateful for his contribution to our special day. I highly recommend him for any event where you want top-notch musical accompaniment. Thank you, Francis, for helping to make our wedding day unforgettable! We can’t stop talking about it!! May the force be with you!!!
Francis was amazing. Our residents loved him. A very talented man who made the residents new years eve super special.
Francis was able to step in on last notice (we had a last minute cancellation) for an important evening for my family. He was on time, prepared, and his performance was excellent. My family was impressed, and really enjoyed his playing. We will definitely book Francis again!
This was the second time we’ve had Francis play at a dinner party. He was very professional and had the perfect selection of music for the event.
Francis played the piano for our New Year's neighborhood party and brought so much fun to the night. He's very professional and provided lyric books for us to use. He knows a wide variety of music and made our event so special.
Francis did a great job playing for our seniors. They loved the singalong and his prompts of the words they may have forgotten. We all really enjoyed it!
This is the second event we have used Francis and he is wonderful! He will s as Keats be our go to pianist for any event!

I cannot rave enough about my experience with Mr. McGrath. He communicated frequently throughout the whole process and was just so great to work with. Class act and true talent!
Response from Francis McGrath:
Thanks so much! And thanks for letting my wife and I stay for your reception.
He was absolutely fabulous! So many compliments from every guest. We will definitely have him at our next event.

Response from Francis McGrath:
Thank you so much. It was a lot of fun for me too!
Francis was delightful. He arrived on time and impeccably dressed. He entertained the guests all evening with a nice blend of Christmas music and jazz. We would definitely hire Francis again for our next event.
Francis is an excellent piano player and played non stop for an hour. It was great to have piano in the background during our meal and just a relaxing evening listening to Classical piano and Christmas tunes. I highly recommend booking.
Francis was the highlight to our party and very willing to go along with my idea of having him arrive as the grim reaper and play in costume. He played very well and kicked off his performance with the theme to Phantom of the Opera. I highly recommend Francis and will be booking him again!
