I will provide solo piano or piano and vocals for your event to make it fun, entertaining, or just straight up classy. I can provide background with light jazz, a more lively atmosphere with a heavier blues/jazz dance feel, or even an upbeat party feel with popular songs. I am always willing to learn new songs for events and I can also play along with other musicians for an event if they are provided. I am very easy to communicate with and willing to accommodate most any special requests. Please feel free to contact me about any musical opportunity as I am open to all types of gigs.
Was easy to work with and did exactly what was asked of him. Great musician.
Played for a small cocktail event. Joe played the entire time only breaking for a brief time. He took requests prior to date of event. The music was never intrusive, but was a perfect backdrop to my event. We could hear conversation and still recognize the piece being played.
Definitely feel comfortable hiring again.
Joe was the perfect performer for our holiday party. He played beautiful Christmas tunes along with other favorites. He was very punctual, unobtrusive and warm and friendly. Our guests were delighted to hear the ambient background songs during the party, and loved listening to him play.
We would definitely hire him again and highly recommend. So enjoyed hearing Joe play the piano we love having.
Joe was wonderful. He played the entire night and accommodated all requests. We would work with him again.
Joe was a huge hit at our party! He was on time, fun, polite & very talented! Highly recommend
Joe is a great pianist. He is professional and very talented. I highly recommend his services.
Joe not only came and did an incrediable job sight reading, but communicated several well thought out ideas and cues for the band. His jazz comping is tight, and great humor was extremely inviting. It was an absolute pleasure working with him.

I can provide background music for your event, lead your karaoke/sing-along, or play keys for your show. I can perform either solo piano or piano and vocal in any of the following styles: jazz, blues, folk, musical theater, or pop. I will play any type of event in the Philadelphia area (I am occasionally in the NY/NJ area as well). I am willing to travel farther, if necessary, so please contact.
I am a cancer genomics researcher who loves to gig as a pianist and vocalist. I studied Physics in school, but I also got a minor in Music from Lafayette College. I have played in jazz combos and as a solo pianist at many weddings, cocktail hours, holiday parties, birthdays and more. I have played in blues bands, jam bands, and rock bands on keyboard and vocals, and I even directed and performed with an a cappella group in the past.
I have been playing piano since I was a child but starting in high school and college I focused specifically on jazz and blues piano. My singing began in musical theater and choirs, but I grew most as a singer when I performed with blues/folk bands.
My musical influences mostly reveal themselves in my improvisation which can range from Ray Charles and Dr. John influenced blues playing to Bill Evans and Oscar Peterson influenced jazz. However, I am always more than happy to cater to the atmosphere of the event.
If I am booked for an event I could play jazz standards, blues, popular party songs, classic or new folk music. I have a wide repertoire of music and influences which I can pull from and I am always willing to learn music for the event.
I can provide keyboard, amplification, and vocal mic (if vocals are requested). If you have a piano on site, that's great! If not, all I need is an outlet.
