We recently had the pleasure of booking Tim Morgan for my birthday celebration. The entire booking process was seamless—Tim provided a clear price upfront and offered flexible payment options, which made everything stress-free. He arrived 30 minutes before the event to set up, which he did quickly and efficiently. Tim also brought a printout of his extensive song list, allowing us to request our favorite tunes throughout the evening. He played beautifully for three hours, although we were so captivated by his performance that we wished it could have lasted all night! Tim is a truly talented artist, and we are eagerly looking forward to having him play at our future events. A+++
Response from Tim Morgan Music:
Jose, thanks again for a memorable evening. I know that sounds cliche, but I had a seriously great time with y'all!
We can't say enough great things about Tim! He kept our NYE party going with guests gathered around the piano singing along for 2 hours. It made our party lively and was the perfect way to welcome in the new year. Tim was easy to communicate with, arrived early and was a pleasure to work with for this. We can't wait to have him back!
Response from Tim Morgan Music:
My pleasure. My wife came as my guest and we were treated like royalty at RT Lodge. *****5 stars, highly recommended. They are just south of Knoxville, Tenn. Thank you Katie, for the invite!
Tim was personable, accommodating, arrived promptly at the arranged time, and played beautifully. His demeanor was friendly and he interacted perfectly with the guests. His talent was an integral part of making our party the event of the season. You won’t be disappointed!
Response from Tim Morgan Music:
Thank you, it was great to be with you and your guests, that party was quite an event! --Tim
Price Range: Starts $200 per hour. Will work with your budget.
Gig Length: 60 - 1000 minutes
Languages: English
I'm dependable, so you won't have to worry. If you have a piano (recently tuned!) and it's a pretty small indoor area, I'll just arrive 15-30 minutes early and sit down and start playing.
If I'm using my Yamaha keyboard and PA is needed, I'll arrive an hour early to set up and get the right balance for the venue. I'll need one electric plug-in. The system doesn't consume much power at all.
I don't take many breaks. All I need is snacks and I'm good for 3-4 hours. I love to have stuff brought to me; I don't want to be presumptuous about eating your food. Tell me exactly what you expect.
Requests are welcome. If you want to sing along or dance, please do! I love to be engaged with the guests. I have met some incredible people at my events!
Tips by guests are usually not done at a paid event (there have been exceptions; be aware that the agency takes a percentage up front. That's totally up to you)
Payment should be in cash at the arranged end time. Look forward to being with you!
UPDATE JANUARY 2024: Hi everyone. I'm a singer-pianist-keyboardist in North Georgia. Here's some comments from recent events:

"We liked Tim so much I immediately booked him for six more events!" --BETH 1-3-24 Towne Club Windemere
"We had the best experience having Tim play at our Christmas party! Not only is Tim an insanely great pianist and singer, but he can also do it all by memory and improvisation. We were wowed! Tim was excited to perform at our party, and that enthusiasm and passion for performing was on display. His magnificent piano skills, his fun vibe and his connection with our party guests made our party a smash. Tim was truly a hit and we were grateful to have him add so much life to our party!
Other things to note: Tim dressed according to the formality of our party upon request. He was on time, happy, and independent. Tim was knowledgeable about and appreciative of our antique piano."--JENNIFER Christmas Party 12-16-23
"Tim's not only an amazing pianist, but an amazing and kind man. Your piano playing is magnificent, Tim! Thank you! --CHRISTIE B. Christmas Party 12-23-23
:DEVIL'S HORNS: CRUSHED IT!: --EGAN Christmas Party 12-23-23
I am punctual, polite, and professional. No silly iPad or cheat sheet, all memorized. If you have a piano, great! If not, it's my trusty Yamaha keyboard (it's excellent). I have a 1000-watt PA if needed.
I started out 15 years ago doing John Denver 24-7. All John Denver, all the time. One evening an alert listener said, "Why don't you do 'Tiny Dancer'?" He was serious. I kind of laughed! (It's not an easy song). It was 5 years before I decided to try some Elton John songs, and now Tiny Dancer, Bennie, Rocket Man, Candle in the Rain, and all, are standards.
Then someone requested Space Oddity. So I expanded my range more. Added Creep by RadioHead. I'm Not in Love by 10cc. Saturday in the Park by Chicago. Maybe I'm Amazed by McCartney.
Favorites: Bennie and the Jets, Rocket Man, Tiny Dancer, Annie's Song, Leavin' on a Jet Plane, Yesterday, Creep, Space Oddity, To Love Somebody, Piano Man. Fun songs! Now (April '23) I've added arrangements of some real oldies: The Sunny Side of the Street, In the Mood, Summertime, A String of Pearls...
My original pieces seem to be pretty popular, too. They often have a jazz or classical feel.
Look forward to meeting you!
Thanks, everyone! -Tim
PS I add reviews as I get them:
"The first time I saw Tim, he walked in the door carrying his keys and stand. Timid and serious. When he got up to bat you got to see that behind the sheets was a true performer.

If I'm using my Yamaha keyboard, and/or sound system is needed, I get there about an hour early to set up. I'll need to get the right balance for your venue. It doesn't take up much space, it's more vertically oriented. 1000 watts. One electric plug is needed.

Our piano teacher was all Classical, all the time: Haydn, Chopin, Grieg...I didn't even know I could do pop music --and play by ear-- until I was in high school.
Then I discovered Andrae Crouch's amazing gospel piano style and tried to copy some it. Also, blind Christian musician Ken Medema.
I did music in churches for years. I wrote about 40 songs, some of them are pretty good!
I started out doing gigs 15 years ago doing John Denver 24-7. All John Denver, all the time. One evening an alert listener said, "Why don't you do 'Tiny Dancer'?" He was serious. I kind of laughed! (It's not an easy song). It was 2 years before I decided to try some Elton John songs, and now Tiny Dancer, Bennie, Rocket Man, Honky Cat, Candle in the Rain, and all, are standards.
Then someone requested Space Oddity, then Creep. So I expanded my range more. I have about 70 songs memorized. I don't like a cheat sheet or iPad.
Favorites: Rocket Man, Tiny Dancer, Annie's Song, Yesterday, Creep, Space Oddity, To Love Somebody, Piano Man. Fun songs! Now (April '23) I'm working on arrangements of some real oldies: The Sunny Side of the Street, In the Mood, Summertime, A String of Pearls...
Next up is I Guess That's Why They Call It the Blues by Elton John, Everybody Wants to Rule the World by Tears for Fears, and Against All Odds by Phil Collins.
You can't get in a rut!
My original pieces seem to be pretty popular, too. They often have a jazz or classical feel.
Recently tuned piano
If not, I have an excellent Yamaha keyboard.
