Solo Musician For Hire in Palatine, IL

THE NON-STOP HUMAN JUKEBOX Hi! I'm Josh. I don't take breaks. I know A LOT of songs. My show is a collaboration with the audience. I customize the playlist in real time—either by reading the room, or taking requests via text message. Is it ok if I brag for a minute? 👉 PBS filmed FOUR of my band's live concerts ... 👉 I played guitar & drums in the Chicago production of Jersey Boys... 👉 and I toured with Million Dollar Quartet’s Brandon Bennett. 👉 I’ve played a Bat Mitzvah on a horse farm... 👉 a Christmas party at George Washington’s Mt Vernon estate... 👉 and at a private party for Hillary Clinton. 👉 I’ve played legendary venues like The Greek and Wolftrap... 👉 with world-class symphony orchestras (Nashville, Detroit, Cleveland, Utah, etc)... 👉 and I maintain a residency at the historic Drake Hotel in Chicago. 👉 I’ve been hired by Fortune 500 companies like CDW & Deloitte... 👉 I’m a preferred vendor at several country clubs & yacht clubs... 👉 and I’ve played thousands of shows in swanky rooms & seedy dive bars alike. Enough about me. Let’s talk about you. You’re planning an event. You’d like there to be music. But it’s hard to choose. Are these acts any good? I'll let you in a little secret: A lot of performers just go through the motions. Not me. Musical talent is useless without an emotional connection. Which is why every show I play is a collaboration with the audience. I love to customize the playlist in real time—either by reading the room, or by using my Text Request Line™️. My repertoire features songs from artists like... The Beatles, Tom Petty, Paul Simon, Elton John, The Eagles, Billy Joel, Bruce Springsteen, John Mellencamp, Hall & Oates, Sublime, Pearl Jam, Jack Johnson, The Chicks, Chris Stapleton, The Killers, Oasis, & Counting Crows. Please ask for my full song list! I'd love to provide a price quote for your event. Solo acoustic is my specialty, but I also offer duos, trios, etc, all the way up to a six-piece band.

Hi there! Let me introduce myself! My Name is Jane Barry-Fraundorf and I am a highly accomplished Professional Pianist/Keyboardist with more than 30 years of experience, and I have performed for many Weddings, private functions and Corporate/Business Events; at numerous Restaurants, Lounges and Clubs; in different Bands; and also for various Church Events, etc. throughout the many years of my well-established Professional Musical Career. Though I have a good voice suited more for Harmony Vocals such as in a Band situation, my Services are predominantly focused on playing the Piano/Keyboard for the purposes of Solo Piano Performance/Accompaniment/Background Music, etc., for any Special Occasion, or Event! My rates are fair and reasonable. I have the ability to travel to your location and perform with any of my five very professional keyboards/digital pianos/synthesizers and any of several of my professional PA systems if a piano/professional Keyboard is not available. Furthermore, I love to take requests, and I do all my own improvising and arranging of each and every song I play/perform, while at the same time remaining completely true to the original melody and "scope" of the music. I have a huge repertoire of music and musical selections, everything from the 1800s to the present, from Broadway to blues, from boogie woogie to ballads, from Beatles to bossa nova, from Billy Joel to Bruno Mars and everything in between. My motto is "all styles, all occasions", which is so true, and I would love the opportunity to entertain you and make your next event highly memorable. So, if you desire a "true touch of class" for your next event or special occasion, please hire me and "let me tickle the ivories for you!" Thanks!
