We were thrilled to have Nick play music for our baby shower. He was completely prepared and provided exactly the type of straight ahead jazz I was looking for, and was also able to accommodate guests requests for more fun and popular music. We recommend him unconditionally and hope to have him play for another party in the future. His communication was great which is a huge help.

I hired Nick to come to my dads house to play for him. My dad has end stage Parkinson’s disease and used to play jazz piano. Nick was able to play the songs my dad enjoyed while engaging my dad at the same time. Nick was upbeat and a great piano player! Will absolutely use Nick for future events.

We have employed Nick and some of his duo/trios for the last decade to play for our Christmas Party. Nick makes the party happen! The quality of his entertainment is fantastic. He plays a terrific assortment of tunes and brings an ethusiasm that is infectious. We highly recommend him if you are considering hiring a bona fide pianist entertainer.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Basically during this busy season. it's $250/ hour for first hour per musician, then $125/hour per musician. Plus travel expenses( if there any). So basically as an example, a one hour gig for me playing solo piano would be $250. A two hour solo piano gig would be $375. A one hour gig for a Jazz Trio would be, $700, but then 2 hours would be $975. If there is significant traveling, that would have to worked out as well.
But there are times when these rates can be flexible. For instance the weekends right now are extraordinarily busy, but Mon,Tues,Wed, and Thurs, aren't t so bad, so we could work out cheaper rates.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
An introductory text or two or three. Then phone calls to work out what my client might need, then formalize the details, set the date and times, and arrangement for a deposit, and schedule the date, and confirm with an email. Then show up for the gig with all the arrangements pre planned. Finish the gig with everybody happy 😊.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Private Piano lessons for years, then Berklee college of Music, and New England Conservatory of Music. I am also trained in Sound engineering and recording.
