UPCOMING SHOWS
ABOUT
I have over 30 years of experience as a professional pianist and an extensive repertoire of classical, jazz, standards, musicals, rock & pop. After a 21 year run as a full-time musician in Los Angeles, I recently relocated to Saint Johns, Florida! I’m now happily serving the First Coast in Northeast Florida including Jacksonville, St Johns, St Augustine, Ponte Vedra, Amelia Island and more! I can be found performing at various venues throughout the area – check out my show schedule for my current public performances. I also play piano for all kinds of events including corporate events, weddings, birthdays, charity galas & holiday parties.
During my two decades as a full-time working musician in Los Angeles, I maintained long term residencies at luxury hotels, restaurants and shopping malls. Most recently, I was a resident pianist in the iconic bar at Hotel Bel-Air for 6 years. During the 15 months that in-person events were not happening in CA, I kept busy doing live stream concerts and performing live for virtual events multiple times per week.

2 Keyboards 🎹 🎹 1 Wedding 💍 When someone inquires for me to play at a wedding, there are several logistics to consider. Most commonly, I am requested to play for the wedding ceremony, or cocktail hour, or sometimes for both. One of the first questions we ask is if the venue has a piano. If not, then I will likely be bringing my keyboard, or we can also arrange for piano rental and delivery. When I am playing both a ceremony and cocktail hour, these logistics are important because when the ceremony ends, we move straight into the cocktail hour, usually in a different location. This works seamlessly at venues where they have a piano. Often, the ceremony may take place outside where I set up my keyboard, and then I’ll quickly strike and go inside to play the venue’s piano for cocktail hour. Sometimes, the logistics can be trickier to figure out. Last week, I was hired to play a wedding at The Treasury in Saint Augustine where there was no piano, and the bride and groom really wanted me to play for both their ceremony and cocktail hour. We discussed a couple of scenarios before they booked me, including the idea of renting a piano. Ultimately, we decided that I would bring two keyboards. After consulting with the DJ, we determined that I could use his sound system for one of my setups to help streamline things a bit. I arrived extra early in order to set up two sets of gear. I used my Nord Grand and plugged into the DJ’s sound system in the Grand Ballroom for the ceremony. And I set up my Roland keyboard with my Bose sound system in the Exchange Gallery for the cocktail hour to follow. All the extra planning and preparation paid off! As soon as I struck the last note of the recessional song, “It’s Not Living If It’s Not With You” by The 1975, I leapt up and was able to rush through the staff area, beating the crowd and having “Piano Man” underway as the first guests entered with big smiles, ready to celebrate the happy couple! Although there were many moving parts to this, the key is knowing the right questions to ask and coordinating in advance with the other pros on the team, including the wedding planner and DJ, to ensure that everything runs smoothly.

Today I performed for Easter Brunch at @hammockbeach where hundreds of people came to enjoy a delicious buffet with me playing #livepianomusic on a stage at the front of the room! So what to play for Easter? I feel like Easter doesn’t have as many options musically as Christmas or even Halloween. I mean Santa Claus gets like at least 5 songs all about him. What about the Easter Bunny? “Here Comes the Easter Bunny” anyone? 🐰🤣 Sure there are always classical and religious music available but what about pop? Ok, so here’s what I came up with. My official Top 5 Pop Songs to play for Easter: 5) “You Raise Me Up” - Josh Groban 4) “Here Comes the Sun” -The Beatles 3) “No Time to Die” -Billie Eilish 2) (What if God Was) “One of Us” -Joan Osborne 1) “Knocking on Heaven’s Door” -GnR #eastermusic #EasterBrunch #livepianomusic

🌹The rose is a symbol of love and passion. The ancient Greeks and Romans associated roses with Aphrodite and Venus, goddess of love. Over the years, roses have come to symbolize some of our strongest feelings, such as love, passion and admiration. And we often gift them as a symbol of our affection. However, beyond love, the rose also represents beauty; reminding us to "stop, and smell the roses." An idiom that means to relax; to take time out of one's busy schedule to enjoy or appreciate the beauty of life. It's a reminder to be present. To breathe in, not just the rose, but the beauty that is all around us. 🌈When I composed "The Color Connection" (a journey through the 7 colors of the rainbow) I wanted to create something that would bring more beauty and joy to a world that often feels so harsh and cruel. I turned away from external distractions, shifted my focus inward and spent more time in nature. By connecting more to nature, it opened up my senses. As I slowed down, I was able to feel even more deeply and passionately into the music that I was creating. "Red Rose" is an invitation to slow down, BREATHE and go for a deeper (musical) connection to the beauty that is always around us. I hope you take a listen! 🎶 Go to the link in my bio for links to your favorite streaming platforms #originalmusic #solopianomusic #pianomusic
