About Me
For two decades, I have been providing live piano music for hundreds of satisfied clients in Connecticut and New York. Drawing from a list of standards, show tunes, popular songs, and classical selections, I can enhance the atmosphere of your gathering to help set the appropriate mood and ambience. Whether it's an intimate cocktail party in your home, a gala event in a large restaurant or banquet hall, or an office party, I can add just the right touch. My clients have included everyone from large companies to people who live right in my neighborhood.

Reviews

  • I hired mike and a bassist to play some elegant background jazz (no singing) for the celebratory dinner party of my wedding evening. It was held on Madison Avenue upper east side large apartment. It was truly a VERY elegant evening and mike and his bassist fit right in.

  • Mike's music made the party!Mike was friendly, professional and willing to accommodate numerous requests, some in advance and some spontaneous. He covered a broad range of genres and provided a microphone to facilitate some sing-along. I highly recommend him!

  • Helped to make everyone’s spirits bright!I hired Piano by Mike for my Christmas party and wanted to have a sing along. He showed up early for set up, brought all the sheet music for my guests, and provided a wonderful holiday experience! My friends and family can’t stop raving about what fun they had. I can’t wait to hire him again!
