Frank Jurgens

"If you're looking for an engaging, high energy, piano entertainer that creates an atmosphere of fun & sun, Frank is the guy"

"Like a one man dueling piano show";

"Great music – Frank made everyone feel great"

"I loved the 'Live Karaoke' – sing along with the piano man";

"the best one man band I've seen";

Good time songs that people love to sing and dance along to, performed in an engaging, fun style is the perfect mix to make any party or event exciting and memorable.

I have been performing at clubs, piano bars, weddings, outdoor events and parties for over 20 years. This is what I love to do and I put everything I have into every song, every performance with the goal of having each and every person leave saying that had a blast.

My repertoire is extensive and varied and includes great, good-time, songs that people love to sing and dance along to – from oldies to today's hits in many genres – rock, pop, blues, country. Great songs from artists like Billy Joel, Beatles, Jimmy Buffett, Bob Marley, Frank Sinatra, Barenaked Ladies, Tom Petty, Neil Diamond, Delbert McClinton, Jason Mraz, Train, Elton John and hundreds more.

I am an energetic performer and am very engaging with the audience and do my best to establish the right type of music for the situation - from background cocktail music to raucous, sing-along and dancing piano-bar style entertainment. If appropriate, I encourage sing-along's, guest singers and crowd participation. I work closely with the party planners in advance to ensure the right music and atmosphere is created for the event. This is your party and I will do my best to play the type of music and set the right mood that would make your event the best it can be. My repertoire is varied so I am able to handle a wide variety of settings.

Billy Joel - Piano Man, Scenes From an Italian Restaurant, Only the Good Die Young, My Life, She's Got a Way and more

Elton John - Crockadile Rock, Your Song, Daniel, Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding, I Guess That's Why They Call it the Blues and more..

Beatles - Ticket to Ride, Can't Buy Me Love, I Will, I am the Walrus, Saw Her Standing There and more..

I recently released my debut CD of all original material – "Last Call at the Tiki Bar". You can listen to cuts on my website, MySpace or iTunes.

As put in a recent magazine review…

"Sun Soaked Blues Rock Reggae. Frank pounds piano blues as hot as the Caribbean sun and island jams as cool as a sunset breeze. His unique blend of music is just the anecdote to cure you from life's everyday doldrums, with witty, "what me worry" tunes about beaches, blondes, booze and bikinis." "feel good music" "playing on the works of Jimmy Buffett, Tom Petty, Warren Zevon, Randy Newman" "brings a smile to your face" "listeners will stick with the disc throughout" "8.6 out of 10" "Last Call At The Tiki Bar" captures the fun, excitement and high energy of Frank's live performances whether solo or fronting a full band."

• Frank was absolutely amazing. We had many conversations before the event about where to set up, play lists, and time frame. He gave us great insight and suggestions and allowed me to be at total easy throughout the event. We let Frank decide the entire play list and could not have been happier with his selections. He had the kids dancing to Reggae and the adults singing along to every song. Frank could not have more perfect for the type of wedding we were going for. Thank you Frank and good luck, you were excellent. -- Robert J, Danvers, MA, 5/31/2008
• Frank Jurgens was a terrific entertainer. His performance was upbeat and engaging and his music created a very happy, friendly atmosphere. He was very responsive to my emails and telephone calls. I asked him to play the song "Should I stay or should I go" by the Clash (which he had to learn for our party)and he played it with gusto. I recommend him very highly and am so pleased that I had chosen him. Max Bermann -- Max B, Norwood, MA, 5/17/2008
