James Karow Piano bar style popular music

Electrical connection and an audience

What time are the doors open for load in and sound check?

I can provide sound and piano

I normally play the entire time allotted. However, in the event this is not possible I can provide break music.

I am currently playing in Gatlinburg on a beautiful house baby piano. I love the room and the instrument.

I enjoy performing for a listening audience.

I have been playing in bands for over 20 years... Touring, theaters and local venues. My solo piano bar gig is relatively new at less than five years.

Influence? Billy Powell, Jack lovell, Billy Joel, Elton john, Steve wildwood, Greg Allman. I am a blues player at heart. The greatest song is the song I am performing at that moment. I pour myself into each song

I can set up in 15 minutes however that is not ideal. I prefer an hour when the venue is not open for sound check. I typically play the entire time. As a result I have no opportunity to tweek the sound once I start.

I am simply happy to perform

I utilize an app that has thousands of songs. I take requests prior to and even during the performance. If I am familiar with the song I will give it a shot often times providing comic relief.

Soulful... Authentic... From the heart. Performing cover songs on the piano allows me to transform each song and make it my own. This is a huge selling point as well. If you want it to sound just like the record... I am not your guy

I do... I can be a blast... I call it piano karaoke
