Introduction: I love my job and people love that! My attention to detail and great sound and light systems and knowledge of a huge Variety of songs and styles are often cited by satisfied clients. Can't decide on using a live band or a DJ - maybe want to include some karaoke? You can have all these options at an affordable rate. I will simply be your Dj or create the perfect combination of entertainment for your event guaranteed! If the space is small and the budget limited no problem - my solo band performance and DJ/KJ combo will fit perfectly. If you space and budget are larger than I can add musicians. A professional sound and shows that include all styles - requests and crowd interaction add to the fun. Always with a full band sound that's never too loud and fits on your patio or dining area (or on a large stage at your festival, corporate party or wedding). I'm originally from Portland and back in the area after performing for extended periods in Florida, California, Hawaii, and Austin Texas. I love the Variety of music I'm asked to provide - Let me tailor a package for your event. From Jazz Piano and Crooner music of the 40s - 50s Rock'n'Roll and Doo Wop - 60s and 70s Folk Rock and Dance - 80s, 90s Pop up to the current top 40 - Beach and Luau themes are a specialty - Buffett, Marley with live steel drum, Hawaiian favorites on the ukulele... Choose a theme or request Variety - something for everyone of all ages!

Phil was outstanding! We gave him the challenge of recreating a circa 1920's style piano bar with basically no other direction and he just killed it. Our guests had a great time, dancing, sing-a-long, karaoke, whatever the moment called for Phil kept the place hopping and engaged.

Hired on Thumbtack

I sent Phil Greek an accappella song that I wrote and had in my mind for many days. He listened to it and in the next day he sent me back a complete piano structure for my song, we talked about ideas that could make my song sound better. When I went to the studio we already has the idea of what we were doing, and took just a couple of hours to record a good sample a my song and also thought about new songs and ideas for some other pieces. Phil is very professional and creative. He would keep telling you new ideas for any type of music. I am willing to keep working in my songs with him, the only bad point is that I live far from the studio, but it is worth the driving.

Phil was responsive and easy to work with. He was totally on top of all the details, making coordination and planning a breeze on our side. The sound quality was great (nice speakers, amps, mics, etc). Phil was also wonderfully flexible with how we used our time: for part, he played well selected background music while we were eating dinner, facilitated our white elephant exchange, and then did a great job with accommodating songs.

Details: Corporate/office party • Standard (e.g., under 50 guests, small venue, standard equipment) • 31 - 50 years old • Pop/Top 40 • Rock • R&B / Soul • Hip hop / Rap • Oldies

Phil was incredibly flexible to work with. He even learned some songs for our special event of 200+ people. He and his partner played a variety of instruments (violin, steel drum, keyboard, ukulele) for a great mix of music. Would love to hire them again for any future events.

Details: General event / party • 201 - 250 guests • 18 - 30 years old • 31 - 50 years old • 51 or older • Band • 3 - 5 • Other • Banquet hall / ballroom

Phil and Laura were great!! They came to my Mom’s retirement party and they made the event so much more fun. Phil was responsive and easy to communicate with before the event, and took the time and effort to ensure the music list was just what we wanted. He’s very talented playing the steel drums, ukulele, bongo drums, and has a great voice! And guests loved having the shakers. So glad we hired them and would definitely hire in the future!

Details: General event / party • 26 - 50 guests • 18 - 30 years old • 51 or older • 31 - 50 years old • Party host • Vocals • No preference • Oldies • Variety • Rock / classic rock • Covers • Outdoor venue • Outdoors • Yes, but equipment is limited and professional should bring their own equipment • $$ (standard) • Ready to hire the right pro now

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Pricing music performances can be a bit confusing. There are obvious factors like hours and travel, set-up and prime time slots like Saturday night being more valuable. Giving the right quote can depend on good information from the client and I prefer to set a price after a personal consultation. Getting a deposit insures both parties of an important commitment to an important event/date.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We talk and email details, collaborate on playlists and set-up. I will link vidoes and songs lists to tailor the party to the unique needs of the client.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a B.A. in Music and Film/Communications from Stanford University. i have been a full-time musician and performer for over 40 years since graduating from stanford in 1979.
