Bring the Piano Bar
to Your Evening

Familiar songs, requests, and a room that finds its own rhythm. Piano and vocals for private parties, dinners and celebrations.

Around the piano

An Evening Built on Requests

A piano-bar set can begin quietly over dinner and end with everyone singing. I listen to the room, take requests and follow the music where it makes sense to go.

I’m Brian Wahlstrom, a San Diego pianist and singer. Alongside my public shows, I bring that same approach to birthdays, anniversaries, house parties and company gatherings. It can stay in the background or become the focus of the evening.

Your gathering

A Few Ways to Play

01

Dinner at home

Piano and vocals that leave space for conversation. A quieter set can gradually become more interactive as people settle in.

02

Birthdays & celebrations

A few favorite artists, a meaningful song, and requests from the room. Share what the guest of honor loves and we can build from there.

03

A company evening

Music for arrivals and dinner, with the option to bring the group together later. See the corporate event page for more about planning.

Two pianos

Playing With Tom

For dueling pianos, Tom Bagley and I trade songs and requests across two pianos. It’s a different format from a solo piano-bar set, and another option for a celebration that revolves around the music.

Come listen

Hear a Public Show First

Cicciotti’s Trattoria in Cardiff-by-the-Sea is a regular home for my piano-bar performances. The live schedule has upcoming dates, other venues and reservation links. Check there before making plans, as dates can change.

For a private booking, you’ll speak with me directly through this site. I can bring a digital piano, mini-grand shell and sound system, or we can discuss using a suitable piano already in the room.
