About
Justin Stock is a solo pianist and singer for hire in Shoalhaven Heads, NSW.
Thirty years of piano and vocals, and a voice you keep listening to. Justin Stock plays across everything from the 50s to now, with the repertoire past 600 songs and leaning towards pop covers, jazz, soul and funk. You can hear where it comes from: Vince Jones, Ray Charles, Nat King Cole, Stevie Wonder, Donny Hathaway, Billy Joel, John Farnham, Nina Simone, Herbie Hancock, Dave Brubeck. Three 45 minute sets is the usual shape, though sets can run longer or be spread out around speeches and delays. Full production is available, including PA, lights and a recording of the night. Justin brings a professional keyboard or plays an acoustic piano if one's there. Public liability insurance is current.
Watch
The show
Thirty years of piano and vocals behind it, and the practical effect is that Justin Stock is easy to have at your event. He knows what's required, he takes pride in doing it properly, and when the timing shifts, as it always does, he adapts without fuss. There's a real stage presence to the performance too. He brings a professional standard keyboard, or plays your acoustic piano if the venue has one worth using.
On the day
Around two hours for setup is ideal, and for some events the earlier the better. Forty five minutes is the least he can work with. The performance area needs to be about 1.5 by 2.5 metres, which covers the PA and lights as well. Beyond that: power, either a wall point or an extension lead, and a clean, level, dry patch that's out of the way of foot traffic. Covered, if you're outdoors.
Performance options
The default is three 45 minute sets. That can stretch to longer sets or more of them, or the sets can be spread further apart to sit around speeches, and delays on the night are easy enough to absorb. The repertoire is past 600 songs, running from the 50s to now, weighted towards pop covers, jazz, soul and funk.
