I specialize in playing early jazz, ragtime, stride, and selections from the Great American Songbook. If you find me out playing piano in Minneapolis, I’d be happy to try and play your song requests. You can also find my full repertoire below. 

If you’re interested in seeing me play piano, check out my full calendar of upcoming piano performances in Minneapolis.
