Martin was the keyboard player for "Eric Burdon & The Animals" for a long time, and since 2005 he's the keyboard player/lead singer of well known psychodelic Rock band "IRON BUTTERFLY" (you may want to check out their website, too - "ironbutterfly.com")......
Martin actually performs either as a solo artist (just classical/new age/pop piano background kind of stuff, or keyboards/vocals), or as a duo with a violin player or a female vocalist, or he can put bands together, any size you want, from a trio (keyboards/vocals, guitar/vocals, female vocalist) all the way up to "The Kings Of Classic Rock" (the old "Animals" - band, without Eric Burdon), or even "Iron Butterfly"!!!
Martin has several CD's (6 solo instrumental CD's and 2 with his full band) and a DVD (Live concert of his band in Frankfurt/Germany) on the market, he's extremely professionell, and he travels basically anywhere - when or if required!!!

• We just wanted to let you know, how much we loved Martin Gerschwitz's performance and overall professionalism and vibe at last Saturdays St. Patrick's Day party - what a great keyboard player and singer, and what a nice treat for us, and what a wonderful musical experience we had! He not only incorporated traditional irish songs into the repertoire, he then carried on playing everything from classical music to Pop music, from Beethoven to Gershwin to Elton John to Coldplay, pretty much just about everything you can think of! Thank you so much for introducing us to Martin Gerschwitz and his talents, we really appreciate it! Larry Diek, Rancho Santa Margarita -- Lea G, San Clemente, CA, 3/14/2009
• Martin made the party. He raised the event to a level that had our guest saying it was the best party they had ever attended.I had a Casino party for by brothers 50TH .At first he played old time saloon music that perfectly fit the bustling bar/gambling scene.He smoothly transitioned into modern music and ultimately had everyone dancing .My guest were impressed with Martin's connections to Iron Butterfly,The Animals,Meatloaf ,and others.Martin is clearly a virtuoso keyboardist but beyond that ,he is brilliant at sensing the mood and delivering appropriate music for that moment whether it be classical,jazz,rock or dance . I highly recommend him. -- Keston B, San Juan Capistrano, CA, 3/21/2009
• Martin is an excellent performer, he added to the class and joy of our gathering. He was punctual and ready to perform before our first guests arrived. His set up was seemless and he was very cooporative in playing the songs we requested. Martin was a joy to work with and I will look to incorporate his talents in future events. -- Shanna N, San Clemente, CA, 2/15/2009
