| Solo Piano for an hour | $100 (USD) |
Combining years of experience from different bands and different styles, Francis McGrath creates a unique mood for formal or casual events. He seamlessly switches from jazz to pop to new age. Guests enjoy the background music until their ears are tickled by a familiar melody or pleasant memory.
If you do not have a piano, Francis can bring a Kurzweil PC4 keyboard and an amp that sounds great in big or small rooms, without drowning out conversations.
= free travel (up to 30 miles)
I'm happy to use on site pianos or can bring a great sounding keyboard and amp.
I need to know if there is a piano on site or if I need to bring a keyboard and amplifier.
I can provide sound. Lights don't usually go with piano music.
If I need to bring a keyboard, I can play Spotify music.
While performing for bands, I have played shows for big events with thousands of people. As a soloist, I regularly play rooms with hundreds of people. My favorite venue is the Driskill ballroom in Austin TX, which is where I shot my demo reel.
I love playing parties.
I've been playing music form decades. I started playing solo piano when a band I was in was playing an event. There was supposed to be a pianist before us, but they were sick. So they asked me and I've been doing it ever since.
As a pianist, my hero is Dave Brubeck. In general, I grew up on classic and prog rock, bands like The Who, Rush, and The Alan Parsons Project. I listen to a little of everything. The greatest song ever written is "Won't Get Fooled Again" by The Who.
I'm happy to work with the client needs.
Yes. I've played in freezing cold and blazing heat. Rain is a bit of a problem, though.
I have a list of around 100 songs that I actively play and I'm happy to have the client pick. If the client has a request I don't know, we can discuss it.
Looking through my reviews, the word that means the most to me is "fun."
