About
Looking for a versatile concert or cocktail pianist who can play any request or style on the spot? I specialize in classical, jazz, musicals, and pop tunes, as well as music from any decade or holiday. Whether you're looking for religious music or Disney melodies, I can deliver. My rate is $500 for the first hour, and $100 for every additional 30 minutes, with up to five stackable 10% discounts available. If you value quality over a bargain, feel free to inquire about my services.

While I mainly perform as a solo pianist, I can collaborate with world-class musicians upon request. I'm happy to meet with you in person or online to offer musical choices that are both beautiful and personally meaningful. If your venue doesn't have an instrument, I can bring a state-of-the-art digital piano and sound equipment for an additional $100.

In addition to my solo performances, I also work with great vocalists and string players to provide duo or trio performances. Nothing gives me more joy than making people smile, laugh, cry, or feel nostalgic through my music. Whether it's a party or a wedding, I'm always striving to add that extra touch of magic to your special day.

I accept five forms of payment, including cash, Venmo, Zelle, PayPal, and check. Please provide your email address and the best time to reach you by phone for a quote for your event. You can also check out my website for more information on my performances.

Dan's scheduled performance for us in 2021 had to be cancelled, but we were finally able to book him for Christmas Eve 2022 after he held my contract for a year. His wonderful and delightful performance was worth the wait, and he was very patient with my crazy family. I highly recommend him as a talented artist.

Dan Fogel was absolutely amazing! I hired him to perform at my mother's 90th birthday celebration in May, and he exceeded all expectations. He played a variety of music that was enjoyable for all ages, including classic rock and 80's hits that I particularly enjoyed. In addition to being an incredibly talented piano player, Dan is also a kind and easy-going person to work with. I can't wait to hire him again in the future and highly recommend him to anyone in need of a top-notch musician.

I enlisted Dan's services for my wedding's cocktail hour as a pianist. He proved to be competent and dependable, exhibiting professionalism in all his dealings with me. He promptly arrived at the scheduled time, attire immaculate in a well-fit tuxedo, and played the piano for the stipulated duration. Prior to this, my partner and I had met Dan and requested him to play a few songs to gauge his musical style. It was commendable of him to devote his attention to creating a bespoke set specifically tailored to our preferences. His performance during the cocktail hour evoked a sophisticated and cozy ambiance, one that will always be cherished. I wholeheartedly endorse him!

After discovering Dan on CrackerJack, I reached out to him for information concerning performing at my wedding ceremony. Dan responded promptly and we conversed via phone only an hour later. Throughout our conversation, he exhibited remarkable cordiality and adaptability, inquiring about our music preferences and favorite songs. On the day of the ceremony, he arrived ahead of schedule to set up his gear, and his music proved to be exquisite. I have no criticisms whatsoever and would gladly enlist his services again. Thank you, Dan, for an unforgettable performance!
