I perform many events during the year as a soloist. Piano solo is a good choice for small cocktail gatherings, receptions, and dinners. I play upbeat music with a light, jazzy feel for cocktails. Dinner music is usually a little more subdued. I generally just respond to the noise level of the crowd and the employer's request. I have a complete keyboard setup if a piano is not available. If your event is a little more animated such as a home dinner party, you may want to consider having me sing and play. This is also a good option for a "piano bar" setting.
