Program Offerings

Performance

Joe Colihan – Piano Tunes

Joe Colihan plays and sings atmospheric music, adapting to the audience and getting to know the room. He shares songs and music genres across generations, with a mix of blues, jazz, showtunes, theme songs, country, folk, hymns, and classical music. He takes song requests and also likes to mix things up – even You Are My Sunshine can be a little jazzy! Sing-a-longs might happen…if you can get some harmonies going, that’s magic! Joe’s performances are great for your holiday party, coffee meetups, luncheons, or community celebrations.

Joe is also available for requests for background music at banquet events.

Basics needed: working piano – digital or acoustic, if not he will bring his own.
