As a full-time working musician, I make my living performing in piano-bars, restaurants, cafes, vineyards, country clubs, and house parties throughout New York and New England.
I pride myself on performing an eclectic mix of popular music spanning multiple decades, from artists such as Billy Joel, Elton John, Stevie Wonder, The Beatles, Queen, Ray Charles, Amy Winehouse, Aretha Franklin, Dave Matthews, Radiohead, Ed Sheeran, and more, including a handful of classical music and jazz standards.
Whether you manage a restaurant and are looking to provide live music for your clientele, are seeking a wedding musician, or are throwing a party at your home, I’m here to provide the entertainment.
We hired Mike to play for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour and it was AMAZING!!!! Everyone was nonstop talking about how incredible his playing was! He nailed every song we requested for our ceremony! His singing and playing were so beautiful don’t think twice book Mike for your event right away!
Response from Mike Tedesco:
Thank you so much, Angela! I’m so happy to read this. The wedding was absolutely beautiful and I’m just honored to have been a small part of it. Wishing you all the best!
We highly recommend Mike Tedesco. He performed as signing pianist at my daughter’s college grad party. He delighted the entire crowd from young to older the entire night.
Response from Mike Tedesco:
Thanks so much, John! I had such a nice time playing for you all. Congrats on throwing such a beautiful event!
We recently held a party to celebrate our son, daughter-in-law and grandson. Our son and his family live in CA so this was a celebration for our family and friends to meet our daughter-in-law and welcome their newborn son. Mike Tedesco is not only a talented performer who was spot on with his choice of music, but also charismatic, warm, friendly and just a pleasure to be around. Mike was like part of the family almost immediately with friends and family asking for his contact information for future events; they haven’t stopped raving about him! Mike made our event special and we are forever grateful.
Response from Mike Tedesco:
Thank you so much for the kind words, Carole! I’m so happy to hear all this. It was an absolute pleasure getting to perform for you and your wonderful family. Love the pics too!!

Very flexible. Really kind and professional. We received many compliments on his singing and playing. Thank you Mike for a great experience.
Response from Mike Tedesco:
Thank you so much, Lora!!
Mike Tedesco is a true talent and wonderful performer! He was the first to respond to my request for a piano player for our holiday party on 12/9/23 and delivered in spades! He came early and prepared with a lot of his own equipment, including sleek speakers, which was an added bonus. He was background music when appropriate and responded easily to my enthusiastic guests who wanted to sing along! He is incredibly talented and can sing and play Billy Joel classics, which is not an easy feat! The next day I got text after text after text raving about "The Piano Man!" Which he also nailed - and we've got video to prove it! You will not be disappointed with Mike Tedesco. He deserves a bigger stage than my house!
Response from Mike Tedesco:

Response from Mike Tedesco:

You can expect a fantastic performance filled with a variety of music to appeal to everyone. My performance style and song selection works well for a variety of events, whether I'm meant to be background music at a dinner party, the main performer for a wedding ceremony, or front and center for a party to bring the energy and entertainment. My style of playing is never a disturbance to the event itself - in fact, I've been consistently told that the music I play works perfectly for events where people are looking to converse amongst themselves while still listening to the music. I'm very comfortable working to provide music for the background of any event.
A New York based pianist/singer-songwriter, Mike Tedesco brings high-energy and eclectic music to every performance. Tedesco has drawn inspiration from a variety of musicians including Billy Joel, Jeff Buckley, and Freddie Mercury.
Tedesco has toured all over the country, and typically plays year-round throughout New York and New England. Tedesco has most recently teamed up with multi-instrumentalist/producer Justin Goldner (Dear Evan Hansen, The Greatest Showman) and drummer Jamie Eblen (Dear Evan Hansen) to create his EP, Hardly Recognizable, released through Sound Revolver Records and available on all streaming platforms.

During the pandemic, Mike has taken his passion for performing to live streaming on Twitch, where he has quickly gained a following.
All I require is access to an electrical outlet to power my equipment.
If the gig is outdoors and there is a chance of rain, I require to be under some sort of covering - I do not provide my own tent/cover.
