About / Biography

Judy Bowen will give your party a wonderful ambiance, whether you are having an elegant cocktail party, wedding cocktail hour, corporate event or a casual party. With 30 years of performing experience and a vast repertoire, she plays hits from the 60s, 70s and 80s as well as newer music, along with standards and cocktail arrangements of classical music favorites. Her arrangements are exquisitely chosen and crafted to create a superb, classy atmosphere that will enhance any party.

Judy has played solo piano at cocktail parties, corporate events, wedding receptions, private parties and country clubs in Las Vegas, Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Atlanta, Florida, Utah, Chicago and throughout the Midwest. Recent venues include the Loews Hotel (Awards Gala - Hollywood Blvd) in Hollywood, California, Private Party - Beverly Hills, CA; Bellagio Casino/Hotel, Paris Casino/Hotel, Palazzo Casino/Hotel, Planet Hollywood Casino/Hotel and the Rio Casino/Hotel in Las Vegas; John Hancock Center, Waldorf Astoria, Hilton Chicago and JW Marriott in downtown Chicago; the JW Marriott in Indianapolis and the Georgian Terrace in Atlanta (where the premiere of "Gone With the Wind" was held in 1939).

She received her Bachelor of Music and Master of Music degrees in piano from the University of Illinois, studying with international pianist Joel Shapiro. Her classical background has influenced her smooth, elegant and expressive style of playing. Judy was featured among 138 cocktail pianists in a new book about cocktail pianists, "The Cocktail Piano Companion" by James Spencer of California and she also published a classical piano reference book, "A Graded Guide to the Piano Literature" in 1991.

Judy will give your party just the right ambiance so it will be the perfect cocktail party that your guests will long remember!
