If you’re looking for background music for any sophisticated but fun corporate event, private party or wedding ceremony, I can help make your event something extra special! A variety of Jazz, Latin and Swing will enhance the ambiance of your gathering whether you prefer solo piano or a duo, trio or quartet.

 

I often accompany solo singers on casual gigs and wedding ceremonies - performing light jazz, pop and standards from the first half of the 20th century known as “The American Songbook”. I’m also available to accompany school choral groups.

Keyboards

My passion is playing digital keyboards. Since the 70’s, when I had a Fender Rhodes and a Mini-Moog, “orchestrating” with keyboards was really my niche. I’ve played with many bands since those days, including thirteen years with “Streetlife”, the house band of the Milwaukee Bucks. I’ve also played with artists such as Aretha Franklin, Bobby Vinton, The Diamonds, The Marvellettes and more.

 

Currently I play everything from Frank Sinatra to Bruno Mars with Platinum, a ten-piece cover band that's been voted best wedding band in Wisconsin for two years in a row by the readers of Wisconsin Bride magazine. We rock the house at weddings, corporate events and festivals.
