PIANO/KEYBOARD PLAYER FOR HIRE

Albany CA

Description

I’m available for solo performances at senior facilities, restaurants, wineries, parties and special events, as well as session work and group gigs if your band needs a keyboard player for a specific show. I have over 10 years experience entertaining on piano/keyboard on a weekly basis at Alzheimer’s Services of the East Bay and other local senior facilities, including Merrill Gardens at Rockridge, and Burlingame Hacienda. I was also the house piano player at Oliveto Restaurant and Café in Oakland from June to November 2020. At my solo performances, I enjoy playing several different genres, including (but not limited to) classic rock, pop, funk, soul, R&B, disco, easy listening and a little bit of jazz. I’m pretty good at reading the room and catering my performances to whatever audience I’m playing for (for example, at my senior performances, I tend to focus mostly on stuff from the 50s through the 70s). In addition to songs that I have memorized, I also now have an extensive collection of nearly 3000 songs on my iPad that I can go to at any given moment. I’ve also been playing in a band (Elusive Groove) part time for the past 2 1/2 years and can fit well into a band situation on a temporary basis for specific gigs, and it helps that I read music. I’m not looking to join a band full time, but definitely would be happy to help your band out when needed. Check out the link below to my Facebook page for plenty of videos of me performing. If you like what you see and hear, let me know, and we can discuss rates. Thanks! https://www.facebook.com/pg/bullfrogfunk/posts/
