The Perfect Choice! Kevin was the best choice to provide music for my event, a memorial service and luncheon. He is very personable and maintained good communication throughout the entire planning process. He is extremely talented and his playing greatly enhanced the gathering. He was prompt and prepared, kind and respectful. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking a talented and professional pianist.

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

Versatility in genres and styles, allowing me to provide just the right musical atmosphere for any event. Also that I'm always prepared, punctual, and professional.

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

Clubs, bars, festivals, corporate events, private parties, weddings, sporting events, theaters, and others in Nebraska, Missouri, Iowa, and Kansas.

What is the most high profile gig you've performed?

National (US) Corporate Events Sporting Events (Equestrian World Championships, Professional Baseball) Major Charity Events Prestigious Clubs Private Parties

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

I am happy to be reasonably flexible on timing when possible. Please provide as much advance notice as you can if anything changes.

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

Yes, when I've been hired to perform on my keyboard and with my sound system, I can provide Spotify music (tailored to your preferences) when I'm not playing. This isn't generally available when I've been hired to play on a piano provided at the venue.

How much time do you need to set up?

If I'm providing my keyboard and sound system, I usually allow about 90 minutes to set up and prepare, though this may vary depending on the venue. If I'm playing on a piano provided, I usually arrive about 30 to 45 minutes before I begin to perform.

If I have a piano at my venue, are you happy to perform on that?

Yes, absolutely!

Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?

Yes! The list of songs I've provided is just a sample of what I can play, so please let me know any pieces you'd want to hear, and I'll include any that I already know and can usually prepare others. (Please also see my answer to the Song Request question.)

Are you able to bring your own piano or keyboard?

Yes, I can provide my keyboard and professional sound equipment.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

Yes, I can prepare songs that you request with advance notice. I generally don't charge extra for one or two specific songs that are not already in my repertoire and will quote accordingly if a greater number or more complex pieces are required.
