Annie Sims, Pianist Singing Pianist from Knoxville, TN

OVERVIEW: Solo Pianist/Vocalist. (Can also add excellent guitarist and/or other instrumentalists upon request.) Works either as a solo pianist or singing pianist, with extensive song list of over 500 songs in all major styles. 10 years at Walt Disney World Swan resort, 4 years on cruise ships and in European piano bars, 5 years in Los Angeles tribute bands (Fleetwood Mac & Laurel Canyon), Nashville recording artist. B.S. degree in Vocal Music Education, piano principal from University of Tennessee. Available for weddings, parties, special events, and steady gigs. I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to make your special event even more special! WHAT TO EXPECT: As a singer/pianist/keyboardist, I have performed for audiences as small as one and as large as two thousand! Performing is in my blood—I've sung in public since I was three years old! I started piano lessons at age six and continued all the way through college, graduating with a Vocal Music Education degree, piano principal. When you hire me to play solo piano or solo piano with vocals, you get a consummate professional (I'm detail oriented, to the max) and a genuinely kind, caring person, if I may say so myself. I am confident that I will deliver beyond your expectations, with a smile and a warm heart for you and your guests.
