Pat Kelly - pianistPat Kelly
 

Hello friends!

I've performed in nightclubs, restaurants, in private homes, and for wedding, anniversary and birthday celebrations for over 40 years. My subtle pianistic touch, lyrical musical ideas, extensive repertoire, and variety of styles make my music the perfect accompaniment for your event: music that is classy and substantial.


I was the original house pianist at Cincinnati's historic Blue Wisp Jazz Club at its inception in 1978 and I earned a degree in Musical Composition at the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music in 1984. I've worked professionally as jazz pianist, church music director, organist and as Adjunct Professor at Xavier University. I was the founder of the eclectic 13-piece PsychoAcoustic Orchestra (since 1992), which has been named best "big band" by Cincinnati Magazine and also by Cincinnati CityBeat Magazine. I served as producer for J Curve Records in Cincinnati and have produced special projects including "Skyline Chili 50th Anniversary" CD, and"Hidden Treasures - A Tribute to King Records". I composed the score for the 2008 internationally released feature film "Artworks", which was filmed in Cincinnati by director Jim Amatulli. I toured 4 cities in Russia with vocalist Mandy Gaines in October 2017. In 2021 I was inducted into the Cincinnati Jazz Hall of Fame.
