Patrick Birmingham- The Piano Man

Recently, I put on a show for the Friendship Home Donut Social to celebrate Mother's Day playing 3 of my original tunes including "Photograph", "London" and "Trees" while playing other tunes from my repertoire including "Where the Streets Have No Name", "Stuck in a Moment You Can't Get Out Of", "Come Monday", "Walk of Life", "Forever Young", "Upside Down", "With a Little Help From My Friends", "Beautiful Boy", "Brown-Eyed Girl", "Free Fallin'", "Satellite", "Octopus' Garden", "Here Comes the Sun", "Layla", "Daughters" and "Kokomo" among others. A friend of mine named Adrian Sadler acted as my 'band aid' for the event.

Today was my most recent Valentine's Day piano gig. I played everything from "Fly Me to the Moon" to "Beyond the Sea" to "Can't Help Falling in Love" to "When You Wish Upon a Star", not to mention a new song I learned how to play: "Unforgettable" by Nat King Cole.

This was my most recent gig at the Council on Aging. Some selections I played there included "I Won't Last a Day Without You", "Carolina in My Mind", "Love", "Take Me Home Country Roads", "Come Monday", "Sunshine on My Shoulders", "Sweet Baby James", the list goes on.

Today I had a real blast performing most of my favorite holiday songs at two locations in one day. Those two concerts were held with the help of my roadies at the Lucky Finn cafes across Norwell and Scituate, so that was a really good way to add some musical fulfillment for the morning and afternoon. Some well-known songs I did during those performances included "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas", "Hark the Herald Angels Sing", "Run Run Rudolph", "Sleigh Ride", "Frosty the Snowman", "Silent Night", "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen", "Let It Snow", "White Christmas", "Winter Wonderland", "Jingle Bell Rock" and a new personal favorite of mine, "Dominick the Donkey".

Council on Aging piano gig from August 2023

Last week (on Tuesday November 7th to be exact), I put on a show for the senior citizens inside Willcutt Commons of Cohasset or (as my Launch friends like to call it) the Council on Aging. I did my very best to entertain the people with some of my favorite good old-fashioned tunes including "Piano Man", "Take Me Home Country Roads", "A Pirate Looks at Forty", "She Thinks I Still Care", "Rambling Rose", "That's Amore", "Oh Darling" and "Everybody Loves Somebody". But then, to surprise everyone, I gave them all some holiday classics including "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch", "Winter Wonderland", "Someday at Christmas" and even "Silent Night".

Yesterday was a fun-filled Donut Social inside the Friendship Home and everybody who did a staycation or came to visit joined in the morning merriment. Kimm Ball was the one who sponsored this event and made it all possible and during that little concert, I played some songs to entertain the mingling adults and kids. Some of these songs included "Upside Down", "The Road", "Carolina in My Mind", "Bad", "Beauty and the Beast", "Satellite", "Can You Feel the Love Tonight", "Mermaid", "A Whole New World", "Daughters", "Highway 20 Ride" and of course, one of my originals, "Trees".

Newsflash: I have plenty of time to practice because my next gig is going to be a donut social from 9 am to 11 am on Saturday, May 13th. It'll be similar to the Cardinal Cushing Marketplace's ice cream socials I had done but it'll be exciting nonetheless!

One of my favorite Eagles tunes the way it was done back in the 70's.
