Jim was the perfect entertainment for our intimate house party for a 75th birthday. In the planning stage, he was flexible, helpful and communicative, willing to hear out my vision for his role at our party as well as offering suggestions from his years of experience. At the party, Jim was congenial and ready for anything throughout, putting me at great ease. He played an awesome variety of songs for our crowd of mostly 60-70s year olds, sometimes as background, sometimes singing. I prepared a specific sing-along set leading up to "happy birthday" and he nailed it! He was great at reading the energy in the room and injecting spontaneous banter and humor between songs. The guest loved it and commented how wonderful he was as they were leaving. Thanks again, Jim!

Jim played during my wedding after party recently and was a huge hit with all of the guests. He provided a fun atmosphere and even took song requests. We wouldn’t hesitate to hire Jim again for any party or event and appreciate his enthusiasm, organization, professionalism, and most importantly, his talent. Thank you Jim for helping us create the perfect night!

Thank YOU Rebecca! It was a privilege to accompany the end of your biggest day. It was a fun after party, filled with great people. (Thanks also to your husband for helping me move the piano back after the party!) Congratulations and best of luck.

We hired Jim for a Sing-Along event-- he is a very talented pianist with a large and varied songbook. Our members had a great time, and he was very professional and easy to work with.
Jim was awesome. His style and flexibility with different songs really made the evening a hit!
Would highly recommend Jim if you enjoy great a singing pianist.

Jim is a true professional and I wouldn't hesitate hiring him again. We hired Jim to play our house party of about 30 folks. Prior to the gig, there was excellent and frequent communication. Jim arrived early, set up and got the party going. Not only is he an excellent, experienced musician, but he is also an outstanding entertainer. He had an engaging stage presence that he used to connect with the crowd. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a pianist, whether it be for a wedding,birthday party, recital, etc. He has chops and it shows! Nice job, Jim. Thanks for bring great energy and music to our special event!

Hi, I'm Jim Keefe, your singing pianist. :)
I've been playing professionally for almost 40 years and I'd like to bring that experience to YOUR event.
After majoring in classical piano at the University of Bridgeport, I spent my younger days playing in rock bands and for musical theater productions.
Then I moved to New York City, where I made my living for years as a piano bar singer/pianist in New York City at clubs like The Duplex in Greenwich Village, Brandy's, and Don't Tell Mama on Restaurant Row in the Theater District, where I still work occasionally; my demo video was recorded there.
I spend my weekend afternoons and evenings performing at private parties and celebrations throughout New York and New Jersey; and leading the music at St. Peter the Apostle Church in Parsippany, NJ on Sunday mornings.
After so many years of working in so many genres, I'm comfortable with nearly every musical job that can come my way! From wedding ceremonies to wedding receptions... classic rock to classical... theater-themed parties... big band... churches... restaurants... your living room or deck... I'm ready to bring you my combination of talent and experience.
