Peter Robinson and Livin' In Swing
Peter's band follows him to every event, but is still never quite sure what's going to happen on the next one. Pianist/Vocalist/Musical Director/Gemini Peter Robinson brings a wealth of musical repertoire to every show, and calls each song as the night unfolds. Starting with Jazz & Swing and departing from there, the set develops into something fun and unique at each event.
Peter plays the grand piano (or keyboards) and directs the group, in something of a cross between Michael Bublé and Billy Joel, with a diverse blend of engaging songs.
Covering Swing, Jazz, Big Party Tunes and Latin dance styles, Peter Robinson with Livin' In Swing is always a crowd-pleaser at a dance party or an intimate soirée.
