My name is Derek Kaplan, the pianist/keyboardist that plays the hits, with some soul! If you please, take the time to consider my diverse brand of live music. I have been performing professionally for over 10 years now, and this has taught me the talent for entertaining all types of guests, at a variety of events and establishments. Playing the classics like: The Beatles, Elton John, Billy Joel, Paul Simon, Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, The Eagles, and Smokey Robinson, to tasteful jazz standards and wedding ballads. I can assure you that my vast repertoire of material will keep your guests entertained at any occasion. I am also an affordable alternative to a band arrangement, having a light and portable keyboard setup that fits comfortably in wine bars, patios, scenic outdoor vineyards, and dining rooms. I play classic music tailored to your party that is as diverse as it is popular.
