Paul Keys - Lounge Pianist

Paul Carroll

The sound of an instrumental jazz piano trio coming from one man. Playing his own bass is great fun...! He can instantly take the music wherever he wants. With the piano and the bass pedals, combined with a drum machine he creates a full swinging sound with his swinging foot! A fairly unique setup.

Willing to travel anywhere in the country/world. Paul has played as a pianist/bass player on over 3500 gigs at home and abroad. However, this is a new act and Paul is looking forward to a great 2017!
