I, Daniel James Burbine, am proficient in many different popular styles. I have played at literally hundreds of weddings including the ceremonies.
Influenced by my father and namesake, a wonderful pianist on the North Shore area of Boston, and, eventually studying with Muriel E. Lee, a former CBS Radio Network staff organist who had earlier in her career provided live Hammond organ and piano background in New York for radio soap operas such as The Guiding Light and As The World Turns, I later attended the Berklee College of Music in Boston. There I formed bands that would share the stage with artists such as Natalie Cole, Bill Withers, Muddy Waters, Buddy Miles, Al Kooper and Tim Hardin.
I later performed with David Crosby, Dan Fogelberg, Joe Walsh, and Gary Morris. I was also team organist for the NBA Denver Nuggets and the (then) NHL Colorado Rockies (now the New Jersey Devils) for two seasons.
I have met and personally performed for four U.S. presidents, countless congressional and cabinet members, and the Washington diplomatic corps along with national luminaries of all walks of life. I have performed at four premier presidential inaugural galas! Please visit my Testimonials page to see what others are saying about my piano playing.
