STEVE BROWN, PIANO AND VOCALS

My name is STEVE BROWN and welcome to my webpage.

I have been performing live music in the north central Ohio area for over 30 years. I do everything from jazz to blues to rock and roll. As either a solo performer or as a member of a duo to up to a 7 piece group,  I bring my own unique blend of jazz, blues, and pop style of playing, along with my ability to sing. My wide gamut of material is demonstrated by my diversified song list.

Whether you enjoy the music of Gershwin, Porter, or Kern; ballads, swing or Latin; or if you prefer the songs of Jimmy Buffet, Billy Joel, Elton John, Beatles, Eagles; I am available to meet your music needs.

I perform in formal restaurants, casual bars and numerous private events. I provide music for listening and dancing to rock and roll sing-a-longs.

My solo piano is perfect for background music for your restaurant, cocktail hour or special event, where my goal is to enhance the dining experience. I play and sing hunderds of songs from the Great American Songbook through the 80′s.

For casual settings that might demand more high energy live music, I play and sing everything from Sinatra to 50′s and 60′s  rock and roll to the most requested piano bar songs. In this intimate setting, I can connect with the crowd and I’m always happy to play requests.

I can provide:

  •  Elegant piano background music soft enough for conversation
  •  Dinner music with or without vocals;  just the right touch to enhance the dinner atmosphere
  •  Entertainment for happy hour, banquet, coffee house, or piano bar; from jazz and blues to requests
  •  Music for dancing or just listening; with or without prerecorded background accompaniment
  •  Rock and roll sing-a-longs; 50’s and 60’s music which is impossible not to sing along with
  •  Receptions, cocktail hour, programs, concerts or other special occasions
  • Family and kid’s entertainment; everyone gets involved and has a good time
  • Jazz and blues on tenor sax and clarinet with prerecorded background
  • Piano and guitar duo, jazz trio, 4 to 5 piece combo, including a number of different musical combinations

 I can customize my performance for any occasion. If a well-tuned piano is not available, I can bring my own full size digital piano and small sound system.

I am a member of the American Federation of Musicians, Local 159.
