Want nice piano music at your next event? I'd be happy to play! I play classical, New Age, jazz, pop, folk and any mixture thereof. I'm an experienced full-time church music director so I also know plenty of hymns for weddings and funerals (I've played at plenty).
James played incredibly at my holiday party and I highly recommend him. He played naturally and from memory many popular carols as requested. He really created an incredible atmosphere/vibe and would be a perfect addition to any event!
Professional, on time, courteous & talented
Response from James Gilliland:
Thank you for the review and the tip! Glad people enjoyed my contributions.
Punctual and pleasant. He played beautifully for our family Christmas party.
I'm James's eldest daughter. My father plays the piano in a way I cannot even describe. He has been writing songs since a young age and can play the piano with his eyes closed. I've seen him. Also, you don't even need to hope he knows the song. All you need to do is play a record to him, and he will play and sing it perfectly.

I will provide the exact piano accompaniment to what you are looking for at your event in terms of musical genre and volume level.
I am a full-time music director at a multi-cultural church in the Chicago area. I have a degree in music composition from a conservatory. I write songs in my spare time. Music has always been my brain's hobby.
If your venue doesn't have a piano or keyboard, I can bring my synthesizer and/or keytar.

As a composer, I've been trained to avoid having favorites. I've heard and been influenced by it all. Let me know what type of music you're interested in and I'll provide it.
