Receptions & Client Dinners
Piano and vocals at a conversational level for arrivals, networking, cocktails and dinner. The repertoire and volume can shift as the room changes.
One performer, several gears
Built Around the Room
Corporate events rarely need one fixed energy level. A client reception may begin with piano in the background, move into vocals after dinner, and finish with familiar songs that pull the room together.
Brian performs as a solo pianist and vocalist, and the lineup can expand to a duo, trio, dueling pianos show or DJ service. The format is planned around the schedule, venue, audience and role the music needs to play.

Common questions
Corporate Event FAQ
Can the music stay in the background?
Yes. Piano and vocals can be kept at a conversational level for networking, cocktails and dinner, then become more prominent only when the schedule calls for it.
Can the event move from live music to DJ sets?
Yes. Live piano and vocals can cover arrivals or dinner before transitioning into DJ music for dancing, eliminating a separate handoff between entertainment vendors.
Do you bring the piano and sound system?
Yes. A weighted digital piano, elegant piano shell, PA, wireless microphones and lighting are available. Venue-provided production can also be used when appropriate.
How far in advance should we inquire?
As soon as the date and city are known. A complete timeline is not required for the first inquiry; the format can be refined as planning develops.
