He is available for any special event including anniversaries, birthdays, wedding receptions, class reunions, dances, cocktail hours, banquets or corporate events. If you have a larger budget and would like a band, he can provide a trio or up to a 4-6 piece band.

NEED MUSIC FOR YOUR WEDDING CEREMONY?

Steve Brown can make your special day even more special by performing music of your choice from classical to contemporary, sacred to secular. He can play solo piano or can include other musicians including flute, violin, trumpet, guitar or vocalist. He always meets with the bride and groom to discuss the musical choices. If you have a vocalist selected for your wedding ceremony, he can provide piano accompaniment. If your wedding ceremony is in the same venue as your reception, he can easily move from one location to another and provide music for both.

TOP 5 REASONS that Steve Brown is a great choice for your venue.

1. Reasonable Volume in a Small Space – many restaurants or pubs aren’t designed for full bands. It’s just Steve, his full sized digital piano and his small Bose tower sound system. He keeps the volume down so customers can talk. Of course if you have a larger room, he can always “crank it up a bit”.

2.  More Affordable – you are only hiring one guy. Steve may charge a bit more than other solo acts, but you are getting top quality. If you want a bigger sound or have a larger budget, he can also work as a duo or trio.

3. Large Variety of Music– with a repertoire of over 500 songs, including everything from the jazz standards through the 70’s and 80’s, he can start out by providing softer music to enhance the dining experience. For the listening and drinking crowd, he can kick it up a notch and get into high energy mode. These are the songs that people love to listen to and even sing along with – some favorite requests are “American Pie”, “Brown Eyed Girl”, “Sweet Caroline”, “Living on a Prayer”, “Piano Man”, and many more.

4. Personable and Professional – Steve gets to the gig early and works with management to make sure the evening will be a success. With his background as an educator and presenter, Steve is very comfortable talking to the crowd, both while he is  playing as well as during his break.

5. He is the Piano Man – Steve Brown is different from most solo acts because he creates a “piano bar” atmosphere, with no loud guitars or drums; just him at the piano singing and playing the songs that people want to hear. He doesn’t use loops or background tracks and everything is live. Customer requests are a specialty. When the audience is enjoying his music and having a good time, he is having a good time.
