San Francisco Pianist - Tom Shaw
San Francisco, California
I'm an exceptional San Francisco musician who has been playing outstanding piano in and around the Bay Area since 1978. Classics, Jazz, Swing, Broadway, 20th and 21st Century Pop and more. Music that's light, elegant, rhythmic, fun, perfect for ceremonies and receptions alike. Flexible, personable, fun, friendly, professional. Keyboard, travel included. Will also meet with you in person (in SF) to discuss music at no extra charge. Almost always in a tux (unless advised otherwise by the client), I'm also an -atypical- pianist in that I'm a non-drinker and I don't take scheduled (hourly) breaks. I can specifically provide either, or both, background and dance music; and I can provide (at no extra charge) my own lyric books for variously-themed sing-along parties: Christmas, Broadway, Old-Time Favorites and more. I love what I do and it shows.
I've been a pro pianist/keyboardist since 1974 - played in a heavy rock-turned-soft rock band for 3 years in Detroit and have been working solo in San Francisco since moving West in 1977.
