About
Chandler Jay is a solo pianist and singer for hire in Brisbane, QLD.
Chandler Jay sings from behind the piano, and the influences run from Elton John to Keith Urban, which tells you the range. Classic pop through to modern hits, plus his own songs. He works electric piano and keyboard sounds into the mix rather than sticking to straight acoustic, and he's played venues, events and festivals around the country. People have compared his voice and playing to Tim Freedman of The Whitlams. Brisbane based. Sound and lighting come with him, so he needs a flat performing spot out of the sun and rain, and power. Fully insured, with everything tested and tagged.
The show
Chandler plays behind the piano and sings, but it isn't a straight acoustic piano sound. He works electric piano and keyboard textures into the arrangements, which gives the set a bit more colour than you'd expect from one person at a keyboard. It's polished. He's done enough venues, events and festivals around the country that the performance side is steady, and the playing holds up whether people are listening properly or just enjoying it in the background.
On the day
A flat area to perform on, sheltered from both sun and rain, and a power supply running to it. Sound and lighting production come from Chandler himself, so there's nothing to hire in on your side. Worth checking the shelter part early if you're planning something outdoors, because an exposed spot in the middle of the afternoon is hard on both the gear and the player.
