We offer free consultations and quotes to help you choose the perfect ensemble for your special day. Our goal is to reflect your unique story through the music at your event.

About the Owner

Chris Smallwood fell in love with music as a young kid, but didn’t fall onto a piano bench until high school, when he broke his leg. Just two years later, he was invited to Kentucky’s prestigious Governor’s School for the Arts program. In 2008, Chris received a bachelor of music from Belmont University and in 2010 earned his master of music from the University of Louisville.

Chris has toured internationally with Rain: A Tribute to the Beatles for over fifteen years and loves sharing his passion for The Beatles’ music with fans all over the world. Chris currently serves as a collaborative pianist for Belmont University’s musical theatre program, and works as Music Director/Performer with Chef Alton Brown’s touring shows. Chris has also written and produced original music for Alton Brown’s show “Good Eats: Reloaded” and “Good Eats: The Return". You can find him performing regularly with the Nashville Symphony, and with his Billy Joel/Elton John band, The Piano Men.

He and Mockingbird Musicians have been providing music for weddings and all manner of events since 2010.
