"Romantic Piano Music that invigorates your mind and soothes the soul"

Close your eyes...take a deep breath...now imagine a romantic candlelit dinner as you take a sip of your favorite drink.. that's the sound of The Naked Piano ...

okay, if that's too corny for you...

if Norah Jones and Josh Groban had a piano-playing baby, it would sound like The Naked Piano . It's romantic piano music written to invigorate your mind, while calming your soul.

And for those of you 'bartenders'..

Take one part classical. Mix in one part melodic pop. Wait for music to bubble. Sprinkle in some new age. Add a pinch of jazz. Put ingredients in a blender for 30 seconds. Voila! 'intellectual pop-piano'. Serve in your favorite setting or share with your favorite person.
