Get ready for an unforgettable night of electrifying piano performances with Pianotastic, featuring three powerhouse acts: Adam Shapiro of Billy Nation (a Billy Joel tribute band), rock ' n roll pianist Henri Herbert of Nashville, and 2 time winner of the Best Blues Performer by San Diego Music Awards and this year's nominee for Best Jazz Artist, Taryn Donath Duo.

Adam Shapiro
Adam Shapiro is a San Diego-based pianist/keyboardist and vocalist. Heavily influenced by R&B, soul, and jazz, these styles are infused within Adam's entertaining and diverse solo performances of unique arrangements of popular music from the 1960s to today; everything from the Beatles, to Stevie Wonder, Billy Joel, Bruce Hornsby to contemporary artists such as John Mayer and Chris Stapleton. Adam's voice is often compared to Billy Joel, and Adam currently fronts his own band - Billy Nation, a tribute to Billy Joel - and can include a set of Billy Joel classics in his solo shows.

Adam has been playing professionally for more than 25 years as a bandleader, ensemble keyboardist, and solo artist. He has performed in venues small and large (10,000+) and has opened for or performed with James Brown, Kool 'n the Gang, Aaron Neville, Huey Lewis & the News, Bo Diddley, Macy Gray, Ray Price, and LeRoy Parnell.

Henri Herbert
Originally from the UK, Henri Herbert currently resides in Nashville, TN, and tours extensively in the United States and Europe as a soloist. He is a permanent resident of the USA and is now one of the most sought-after blues and boogie pianists in the world. In fact, his Green Card was awarded based on his skill as a blues pianist. From an early age, Herbert was fascinated by the piano-pounding pioneers Jerry Lee Lewis, Fats Domino, and Pete Johnson. This video of Henri playing an impromptu blues on the public piano in London’s St Pancras Train Station has now reached an incredible 72 million views on YouTube and is a regular feature of his live shows.

Taryn Donath Duo

Known for her commanding stage presence and genre-blending creativity, and 2-time winner of the Best Blues performer by San Diego Music Awards, Taryn Donath delivers a fresh and spontaneous musical experience with drummer Matthew Taylor. From 60’s soul jazz and Latin grooves to their unique "beatnik blues," this duo creates a sound far larger than the sum of its parts. Every performance is an adventure, filled with soulful energy, exceptional artistry, and unforgettable moments.
