Pianist: Beatles, Stones, Queen, Elton, 1960s & 70s solo pianist (can also do 50s thru modern day but specialize in 60s & 70s). Great for background for your party, event, restaurant, etc. No boring "standards"... this pianist will definitely get memories sparked! Check out my samples here on GigSalad.
Not only did all enjoy this friendly, smiley performer, for those guests who did not know a lot of the other guests, he was incredibly enjoyed!
We were pleasantly surprised by piano man Chuck. We checked his YouTube video and booked him for our annual Memorial Day bbq. Chuck arrived on time and was soon performing classic rock songs for our guests. He took some requests and was very pleasant and easy going. Every one enjoyed his playing and he has a wide range of songs. I requested some Coldplay and Beach boys, Chuck played them very well. Thank you, Chuck. We will see you again..
Thank you Chuck. Everybody at the party absolutely loved your music. We've had other pianist played for us before but you are the best! You just became our official piano man we will call you soon!
Chuck was a fantastic addition to our party. My husband was really surprised and enjoyed the music. Everyone enjoyed the music. He played 60's and Beatles, my husbands favorite. He played right through the whole party. It was perfect!
Chuck provides amazing musical talent that is very broad and fitting for any event or party. He understands the importance of relating to people during his playing while being enthusiastic and keeping the beat up and the crowd entertained!
Be sure to book Chuck for your special event you want to be memorable. He's professional, punctional, and very responsive.
He was able to accommodate my location (Santa Barbara) for a reasonable price and responded to my craigslist posting very soon. It really made event planning so Mich easier
There really isnt anything this genius can't learn!

Memories, smiles, and great music reminscent of the greats from the 60s & 70s (but not limited to those years).
Playing piano since age 5, perfect pitch and a virtual audiographic memory, can play virtually anything I hear... and much more accurately than pianists robotically reproducing notes from sheet music. I was classically trained from ages 6-15. Grew up listening to music of the 60s & 70s (and some 50s) which has a special place in my heart... so that's the music I play most often, and I do it with feeling! No "standards" from this pianist... you can get that anywhere. But if you loved the Beatles, Stones, Zeppelin, Queen, Elton John, Simon & Garfunkel, and the many 1-hit wonders of the 60s and songs you've probably forgotten about by now... I'm your guy! PianoManChuck - I'm easy to find on the internet.
Piano onsite would be great! But I also have my own professional digital pianos and keyboard amplifiers which would require a 110V AC power source. If you need an outdoor gig with no AC power, I have equipment for that too!
