Introduction
S.A.M. Member - IAPWE Certified. A native Utahn with over 20 years of piano performance under his belt. As a magician I wrote and performed in well over 300 shows for residence magic programs in Utah and Colorado. From large format stage illusions to intimate sleight of hand. You can catch me currently playing piano at midtown Manhattan bars like Mimi's, Da Marino's, Don't Tell Mama's, Bo Peep, The Bitter End, Melody’s - and even a few suburban restaurants like Underhills Crossing, and Wicked Wolf II. I love classic piano rock like Billy Joel and Elton John, but love playing jazzed up pop standards like Taylor Swift, Norah Jones, and Adele. Since coming to New York I've played corporate events, private birthday parties, upscale cocktail hours, dinner services, and dueling piano bar events alike - and I can't wait to play yours! *minimum is a 2 hour event, but will accept smaller events at my discretion depending on ask, time, travel, and group size.

We hired Marshall to play piano for the cocktail hour of our wedding party and we were blown away by how fun and amazing the music was! He jumped right into action and had everyone mingling and on their toes! Marshall was great from the start. Attentive with emails, booking and very clear communication. He was right on time and started the evening off perfectly! I can’t recommend him enough and am looking forward to booking him again! Thank you Marshall!

Marshall was a perfect addition to our intimate wedding ceremony. We opted for a small dinner celebration and wanted light music in the background. Marshall arrived on time and well dressed for the occasion. He stayed in contact with me weeks before the big day and made me feel at ease. He offered payment plan which is great but I ended up paying him all up front. Price was very reasonable! I had only booked for 3 hours but event went longer then expected and he stayed an extra hour to play! He didn’t ask for any extra but I will send him a little more to say thank you. The music he played was just right and even added in some Disney covers. All of my guests complemented the music and how nice it was to have and still be able to have a conversation. Overall a wonderful man to work with! If I ever need a pianist again I will Definitely use Marshall. Thank you again for a magical evening!!

We hired Marshall for my parents Anniversary Party this past weekend. In our communication he initially did not state that he would need to rent a piano, amp and mic for the gig and that there would be additional costs associated with this. A few days before the event he told me this and kindly absorbed some of the rental fee to accommodate the lack in communication. During the event he was a little late arriving and had a bit of trouble tuning the piano (Which is understandable since it is not his personal piano) however if he had arrived on time he may have had more time to fix this. He was able to get it in tune and he played piano very nicely throughout the evening. He played and sang a wonderful rendition of "Just The Way You Are" by Billy Joel, my parent's wedding song as well, which everyone absolutely loved. He also accompanied me while I sang a song and was great at following my vocals unrehearsed. Overall, minus the hiccups ,I appreciated his enthusiasm and professional communication. It was lovely to have live music at the party~!

Details: General event / party • 25 guests or fewer • 31 - 50 years old • 51 or older • Band • Vocals • Guitar • No preference • Jazz / Blues • Other

Trains can be a little difficult to navigate when transporting large instruments - I do apologize about showing up congruently with you. I appreciate you letting me be a part of your parents special night.

Great experience! Had a lot of fun at a Valentine’s Day event at a senior center. Marshall took requests, got the seniors to get up and perform. Would recommend him! Thank you!
