Dustin Callahan has performed extensively throughout California as a solo artist presenting standard classical literature and original works, as an accompanist for vocalists, and in chamber ensembles.

As a pianist for parties and events he has performed for weddings, receptions, Christmas parties, cocktail parties and everything in between-even funerals. He has a wide variety of background music and has performed for several dozen secular and traditional weddings throughout California in recent years. He is very familiar with the Catholic Wedding ceremony having performed as both pianist and organist for several weddings at the Mission Church at Santa Clara University in Santa Clara, CA and surrounding areas.

As an organist he has played for weekly Mass services, weddings and funerals throughout California.

As a highly-skilled and hard-working musician Dustin, upon booking, will accommodate every last request and learn any song your heart desires; making your special day even more special.

Together, with vocalist Bridgett Rivas, Dustin can perform anything from Schubert's Ave Maria (light classical) to Broadway classics to pop standards to light Jazz to Sinatra. Upon request, Dustin can perform any number of his neo-romantic compositions for piano (and voice). With undergraduate degrees in piano performance and composition Dustin recently received his Masters of Music in Composition from the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music.

On some occasions a piano may not be available at the venue; or, perhaps you would like to have music for an outside reception or party. Rest assured, we have you covered. Our portable full-sized keyboard features rich acoustic piano sounds that are sure to impress. I also use a 300 watt full-size Keyboard PA with sonic enhancement hardware. Sound samples of this instrument are available through this site.

Additional musicians (violin, flute, voice, viola) and instrumentation can be added or modified to perfectly match your entertainment needs.

While new to Gigmasters I'm not new to piano entertainment. With over 10 years of professional piano experience, I will go every extra mile to make your next big event first class.

Thank you so much for your consideration, book me now and I will personally work with you to ensure that the music is tailored exactly to your desires.
