Jan Stevens: Music for private parties NJ

I've played many and varied private parties as a solo performer and with groups as a soloist or 2 to 7 piece bands, (often just keyboards --or a keys and drums duo --are all your party may need) since 1974. (See bio) The music, whether with or without vocals, is always geared to YOUR specific kind of event -- whether a small anniversary party, a family reunion, a small wedding, corporate party at the office, or whatever your special event may be. There 's modern music too for q little dancing too, if needed. Since I do many famous tunes from so many eras in music from piano standards and Big Band to Motown, and rock -- there's plenty of varied music for everyone's tastes. SOLO PIANO is another specialty!

My extensive piano repertoire includes the great songs of George Gershwin, Cole Porter, Irving Berlin, Rodgers and Hart / Hammerstein , Jerome Kern, Lennon-McCartney, Stephen Sondheim, Andrew Lloyd Webber and jazz classics like those of Bill Evans, Duke Ellington, Vince Guaraldi, etc. -- the most enduring and popular great standards from the 1920s on, as well as show tunes, pop and rock classics and some New Age-type pieces. Or CLASSICAL piano for your wedding ceremony)

My list of vocals (available on request) includes a wide variety of quality music from the last fifty years--- the best songs of Billy Joel, Tony Bennett, Van Morrison, Frank Sinatra, Sting, the Eagles, Elton John, James Taylor, the Beatles, Steely Dan, 50s-90s dance tunes and more.
