Shows & Formats
Pick the room.
Same performer, same catalogue, different build. Every format below is request-driven and adjusted live to the crowd — the difference is scale, staging, and how the night is structured.
Format 01
Solo Piano Bar.
One player, one piano, and a room that never quite sits down.
Requests taken all night and re-ordered live off the crowd's energy. Jamie's set moves between piano, guitar, harmonica, and vocals without breaking the room's momentum — the format that turns a slow Tuesday into a regular night and keeps bar tabs open past last call.
- Thousands of songs on request, 1940s through Top 40
- Singalong-heavy: Beatles, Billy Joel, Elton John, Sinatra, CCR
- Multi-night residencies and weekly slots welcome
- Reads and re-paces the room in real time
Format 02
Dueling Pianos.
The high-energy, two-piano show — and the operator who has built them from an empty room up.
Jamie was a founding performer at a major U.S. dueling piano venue, contributing to operational launch, technical system setup, show structure development, performer onboarding, and team leadership. He later helped open Southeast Asia's first dueling piano bar in Singapore, overseeing multilingual show components, technical implementation, and stage design.
Venues opening a new room get more than a player: show structure, roster guidance, and technical setup come with him.
Format 03
Cruise & Resort.
Long-term contracts with major international lines, multiple nights a week.
Request-based shows in cruise theatres across Europe, plus piano lounges in Singapore, the Netherlands, the U.S. and Canada. Cruise and resort programmes want the same three things: reliability across a long contract, range wide enough for a mixed international audience, and a performer who needs no managing. That is the whole pitch.
- Long-term contract history with major lines
- Comfortable with mixed-nationality, all-ages audiences
- Also available as music director / entertainment director
Format 04
Corporate & Private.
Polished and clean from load-in to last song.
Corporate galas, private parties, weddings, and arena and sports-crowd feature spots. The show scales down to background cocktail piano or up to a full singalong set depending on where the night needs to go — and Jamie reads that without being told.
Music direction is available separately: Jamie has music-directed a full-length Canadian stage revue, handling live arrangements, score rewrites, and a full ensemble cast and band.
