Laura Cummings Pianist from Fort Worth, TX

SOUNDS OF LAURA: GREAT PIANO MUSIC, has returned to The Bash. Laura has played 341 wedding ceremonies across the state of Texas. She has increased her repertoire to 500 pieces of music. If you are looking for a very "special" award winning pianist in the Dallas/Fort Worth area with a "great" extensive repertoire, you have come to the right place. SOUNDS of LAURA has won AWARDS from the Wedding Wire Network for 11 years; the latest being the 2023 Couples' Choice Awards. Awards are for excellence in quality, service, responsiveness, and professionalism. Laura also has been named Top Performer from Gig Salad for 2024. Laura is on the preferred vendor's list for Colonial Country Club, Fort Worth, Marty Leonard Community Chapel, Fort Worth, and Weston Gardens, Fort Worth. She is also on the preferred list for The Bowden, Keller, Texas. In addition to her Wedding Ceremonies, Laura provides top-quality live piano music for Receptions, Cocktail Hours, Corporate Events, Grand Openings, Parties (Christmas, Birthday, Anniversaries, Retirement, Children's Parties, etc.) She can provide her own 88 key electric, Yamaha piano & sound system. She further customizes the sound to fit the song style & genre of the music played. The result is a rich, beautiful, unique sound appropriate for many venues. This creative, customizing of sound on her Yamaha Piano has set her apart from most pianists in the Dallas/Fort Worth Area. No other pianist is doing this type of creative work on their portable pianos. And to make things even better, Laura plays on an 88 key piano, not a keyboard. A keyboard only has 66 keys or less, and does not give an artist full range of the treble and bass. Being Classically trained, having full range of the treble and bass is "Very" important to Laura. The words of past & present clients best express what you will hear when you listen to SOUNDS OF LAURA: "Awesome," "Beautiful," "Romantic," "Elegant," "Amazing," "Unique", "Wonderful," "Flawless," "Spectacular," and simply "Gorgeous." Laura's broad repertoire enables her to create whatever mood or theme you are wanting for your special occasion. Song styles range from the 20's through the Contemporary Sounds of Today. Genres include: CLASSICAL, BROADWAY/FILM, POPULAR STANDARDS, FOLK, CLASSIC ROCK, POP, OLDIES, JAZZ, NEW AGE, RAGTIME, DIXIELAND/JAZZ, ALTERNATIVE ROCK, R&B, EASY LISTENING, COUNTRY, CONTEMPORARY, RELIGIOUS, GOTHIC, CHILDREN'S MUSIC, and WORLD MUSIC (including Italian, French, Spanish, Indian, German, Asian, etc.) Laura's versatility in genres & decades makes her ideally suitable for many venues: Conventions, Luncheons & Dinners (as background,) & Fundraisers, etc. Coffee Houses, Restaurants, Retirement Communities, Hotels are also part of Laura's broad experience. In addition, she welcomes new venues. Sounds of Laura can also provide a vocalist. She often accompanies her husband, T.J. Sounds of Laura has published 42 music/videos on You Tube.
