Why Hire
Piano Catz is the collaboration and combination of 3 experienced veteran musicians. These musicians have played, sung, and entertained their way into the hearts of their Winnipeg hometown audiences and beyond. These three make a great Trio if you ever did see one!
Mike (Piano / Vocals / Songwriter) : Mike is musical magic! Here’s a wonderfully talented piano player with a great big powerful voice and personality plus. Over the years, Mike has been in demand as a musical director, event organizer, and producer of many a successful show. He’s particularly well known for his Rock n’ Roll medleys. His collection of fan favourites continue to fill dance floors in clubs and casinos. Mike and his Rockin’ 88’s have toured with many bands around the country as well as the United States.
Greg (Drums): A rata-tat-tat… it’s Mr. Greg Black! He’s one of the most respected and sought after drummers in Winnipeg. Greg is a musician who is quite well known in the Jazz circles, but he also plays a variety of rhythmic styles that compliment and strengthen the ever-expanding PIANO CATZ song list. He continues having a long and interesting career. He’s toured in Canada, the U.S., France, and is often found applying his trade in the recording studio. Greg has played concerts with such notables as Bo Diddley and Johnny Rivers. He’s in the know… in the pocket… and in the band.
