Piano Stylings by
ERIC STEVENS
Solo Piano • Accompanist • Cocktail Parties • Dinners • Restaurants • Lounges • Private Clubs
Wedding Receptions & Ceremonies • Rehearsal Dinners • Fashion Shows • Cookouts
 Whether playing on your piano, or his own compact, full-keyboard PORTABLE which takes up no more space than an ironing board, this versatile artist endeavors to please you and your guests.
If they are standing, he keeps toes tapping and heads bobbing, with ROCK CLASSICS, SINATRA SWINGERS, RAGTIME, COLE PORTER, BOOGIE WOOGIE, RAMSEY LEWIS PARTY-BLUES, HARRY CONNICK JR, and FIERY LATIN RHYTHMS.
When guests are seated, he usually stresses romantic tunes such as SONGBIRD, UNFORGETTABLE, or AS TIME GOES BY, but he inserts enough subtle spice to keep listeners awake.
He has played at Chrysler Museum, Hermitage Museum, Princess Anne Country Club, Warwick Yacht Club, Williamsburg Country Club, Norfolk Yacht & Country Club, The Madison, II Giardino, Tandom's, Bienville Grill, etc., including political rallies for Governor Gilmore and Governor Wilder, and events for The Virginian-Pilot, WHRO, ODU, and the Virginia Club.
On some engagements Eric sings; sometimes people dance to his vocal/piano stylings.
