Description
Serving Washington, DC and the surrounding area, Kevin Roland has been performing up and down the East Coast for over 15 years. Kevin has accompanied such entertainers as Luther Vandross, Reba McIntyre, Michael Bolton, and Kenny G. He has performed as a soloist with a variety of ensembles including the Tampa Bay Symphony Orchestra, Pensacola Symphony Orchestra, and several college orchestral and band ensembles. Most recently, Kevin continues to work as piano accompanist for Artspeak! Through this program, he has accompanied such Broadway stars as Brad Oscar (The Producers), Audra McDonald (Raisin in the Sun), Alice Ripley (Sideshow), Liz Calloway (Cats), Kristen Chenoweth (Wicked), Sutton Foster (Thoroughly Modern Millie), & Judy Kuhn (Les Mis). Kevin is also the musical director at Stars (formerly Mimi's American Bistro), DC's only cabaret restaurant with nightly live professional singing servers where you can see him 5 nights a week.
Kevin has played for hundreds of weddings, parties, business functions, fund-raisers, and other social gatherings. Some of the people Kevin has played for in the DC area include former President Clinton (fund raiser 2007), Vice-President Cheney (private holiday party 2005), David Bradley/Chris Matthews/Tom Brokaw (holiday party 2004, 2005, 2006 & corporate party 2004 & 2005), Steven Spielberg (Mimi's American Bistro 2005), Tony Kushner (Mimi's American Bistro 2005), Goldie Hawn (Mimi's American Bistro 2003-2006) among others.
No performance is too small or large. I often play in home private concerts or dinners for couples on their anniversary or other special occassion. If you do not have a piano, I can arrange for a baby grand piano (if the space allows) or bring an electronic piano and sound system. I can also provide a variety of singers and other instruments at your request.
