John was just awesome! We had a Xmas party and he was the hit of the party. He sang great carols and classic songs that got the party going. He knows exactly how to get the crowd going!

Thanks!
John did an amazing job of entertaining at our Valentine's party. It was a difficult setting, but he made it work. He played a variety of genres and everybody enjoyed themselves. He even had guests dancing, even though it wasn't that kind of event. I would definitely bring him back!!

Additional Booking Notes
My show is completely self-contained.
I come with my own keyboard and sound system.
Of course, if you already have a piano in your venue, I can use that as well. I just ask that it be tuned within a week prior to my appearance.
If I am using your piano, I can bring my own sound system.
If I use your sound system, I will require a sound check with your audio technician.
As far as lighting goes, I don't require lighting, if I am performing in a private residence. If you are requesting me to perform in a public venue, I have a stage lighting system available.
Thank you and I hope to hear from you soon!

Set List
In general, my piano bar type show is a request-driven, sing-along piano party!
I can, however, tailor my set lists to what YOU, the customer/producer want! In a typical set, you're likely to hear:
Africa, American Pie, Baby One More Time, Bad Romance, Bennie And The Jets, Billie Jean, Bohemian Rhapsody, Brown Eyed Girl, Dancing Queen, Don't Stop Believin', Free Fallin', Firends In Low Places, Great Balls Of Fire, Hey Jude, Hotel California, Livin' On A Prayer, Mr. Brightside, My Girl, Old Time Rock And Roll...
...to name just a few!
Influences & Inspiration
While learning to play the piano growing up, I was heavily influenced by: The Beatles, Barry Manilow, Elton John, Jimmy Buffett, and Billy Joel.
As my love for the theatre grew, I found myself being influenced by Frank Loesser, Cole Porter, The Gershwins, Rodgers & Hart, Harold Arlen, and many of the songwriters who make up The Great American Songbook.
My show contains a little bit of everything!
Setup Requirements
My equipment requires a set up area of no less than 8' x 8'
If you want me to plug into your sound system, I will require an hour of set-up time that must include a sound check with your sound technician.
My set-up requires reasonably close access to a 110 power outlet.
For events lasting longer than two-hours, I will require someplace to take a break.
I have a small lighting system available. Please let me know, if you would like me to use it.
