Welcome
and 
New piano-rock cover band 88 Key Salute brings a unique playlist format designed to celebrate artists and songs that define piano rock. Piano rock is rock or pop music that prominently features the piano (or other keyboard instrument). 88 key Salute's playlist encompasses six decades of classic mainstays and current favorites from giants in the piano rock arena. The playlist includes early musical pioneers (Fats Domino, Little Richard and Jerry Lee Lewis) as well as artists who perfected the genre (The Beatles, Elton John and Billy Joel). 88 Key Salute celebrates the piano and its re-emergence in current pop-rock music by also featuring the songs of Ben Folds, Coldplay, Keane and The Fray. Audiences will also be treated to updated modern arrangements of piano classics such as Chopsticks, Heart and Soul, Chopin's Prelude and more.
The secret to the band's successful performances lies in its unique modular playlist format they've dubbed "Piano Rock Solid." The band's playlist format is meticulously constructed to maximize audience experience. 88 Key Salute features seamless continuity between songs, so audiences experience logical progressions of themes and tempos.
88 Key Salute is the only band of its kind in the world. A bold musical venture of this can only be executed by seasoned professionals who share common backgrounds of broad performing, touring and recording experience. 88 Key Salute is comprised of the following musicians: Johnnie Horvath (drums and vocals), Charlie Comanse (bass guitar and vocals), J.D. King (vocals, guitar and percussion), Mira Chapman (vocals, guitar and keyboards), and Gordie Laurencell (vocals and piano).
