Samuel Gaines is a classically trained pianist with over 20 years of experience at the keyboard, having begun playing at age four and continuing through university-level piano studies. A multiple-time state winner in the MTNA solo piano competition, he brings a strong technical foundation to a range of styles. He is equally at home with classical music, contemporary styles, and traditional hymns, and he arranges music to fit the specific needs of an event or ensemble.
Samuel has extensive experience performing for weddings, church services (from traditional hymns to modern worship), and musical theater productions. He's a skilled accompanist for singers and instrumentalists, and has performed with orchestras and chamber ensembles, bringing a collaborative, listening-first approach to every performance.
Based in the Madison/Huntsville, Alabama area, Samuel is available for events throughout Alabama, Mississippi, and surrounding areas. Whether you need an elegant ceremony prelude, a full evening of reception music, or a reliable accompanist for a rehearsal or performance, he brings both technical precision and genuine musicality to every engagement.

I prefer a piano or keyboard to be present at the event. I am able to provide a keyboard (for an additional fee), but am not able to provide an adequate sound system, besides the built-in speaker in my keyboard (which may suffice for small events). Keyboards will need power.
No. I am able to provide a keyboard for an additional fee, but not any sound equipment beyond that.
