WHAT IS FELT PIANO DREAMS?

Felt Piano Dreams is a dreamy, introspective musical experience that invites the audience to lay down and rest, or sit comfortably, while listening to original felt piano music. A relaxed atmosphere and low lighting create a environment suitable for people who might avoid a louder, brighter, more overwhelming musical event. Listeners are encouraged to bring yoga mats, pillows, and/or other comfort items, but I can also provide a handful of foam mats for laying down. This show is a great fit for venues that have a few comfy chairs or couches, but that’s not a necessity. If you are interested in booking a Felt Piano Dreams show, just reach out at the email below and tell me a little bit about your venue.

THEMES & DISCUSSION

This show has the potential to encourage conversations about rest, access, softness, intimacy, and other themes. If desired, I can lead a brief discussion with the audience after the performance about themes related to the performance.
