After playing gigs all around northern California I am now on the east coast . Always expanding my songlist I perform a variety of jazz and popular music tunes - I also enjoy arranging songs to fit in other genres or instrumentations. I have my own equipment and transportation - I am able to setup and perform in a variety of spaces. I have performed with many musicians in New England and can provide groups ranging from solo piano to a quintet with a spectacular female singer. My goal is to create the mood you are after - I look forward to hearing from you about your event.
Tony arrived completely prepared with music from the 20's and 30's for our Grand Gatsby Speakeasy Murder Mystery. We discussed the playlist as well as a couple of requests and he was right on target with all. He also wanted to fit "the part" since this was a Speakeasy and was dressed appropriately for our event. As the event concluded he played and all the attendees joined in around the piano singing. Everyone had a wonderful time and Tony provided the perfect addition to the "Murder Mystery."

My grandfather was a clarinetist in Boston MA and music was always around me growing up. I played clarinet and saxophone myself throughout school, and played in several bands. Wanting to know more about harmony I started studying piano seriously and things went from there. I love what music brings to our lives and how it exists in the moment, like a conversation those involved move and change with it.
