I am a solo pianist in the Washington DC area. For the last 20 years I have played in a variety of settings: weddings, corporate events and private parties. I have a very varied repertoire including pop, jazz and classical pieces. I always try to play music appropriate to the gig, the setting, the age group etc. If you want live, beautiful music at your event, I would love to play it for you.
George is always professional, classy and fun!
So happy we found him on gig salad! 🥗
Heartwarming lovely piano! We loved it!
He played for our party last year and just had to have him back!!

Response from George Gerich:
This was the one and only time that I have been late in ten years. The gig was during rush hour in the heart of the city with long traffic jams. I apologize.
George
His piano playing was superb.
Response from George Gerich:
One of the best sounding pianos that I've played. All the registers/octaves equally balanced and light to the touch. Squeaky pedal needs WD-40. It was a pleasure.
George was perfect - prompt and professional
George is fabulous- absolutely fabulous, and so very talented.

Whatever the event or the audience, I try to play to what would be appropriate to the setting and the ambiance of the situation. I have a very wide repertoire to handle most requests by various age groups. My intention is to always do my best in presenting music which is familiar and beautiful!
I've been involved in music my entire life. I began classical piano lessons at seven. As a teenager I formed my first pop group. I soon discovered jazz music and went to Boston to study at the Berklee College of Jazz. Later I was a member of various ensembles in Boston and New York. The last 30 years I have been performing as a solo pianist in and around Washington DC.
I always prefer playing the piano while facing, in some degree, the audience.
