In December, 2025, I decided to go back to my roots - simply playing piano and singing. After completing the promotional video below, acquiring the right equipment, then learning and re-learning some of my material from years ago, it was time to start booking. Beginning in April, 2026, I booked a few venues and since then, the number of bookings has far exceeded my expectations. And the audiences have been wonderful! I look forward to many more years performing "Songs You Grew Up With."

Please leave a message at (614) 561-8577 or email me at MichaelKontras2009@gmail.com if you are interested in booking me or have any questions. I'm available to perform at restaurants, pubs, wineries, pizzerias, outdoor patios, retirement communities, elder care facilities, private functions and just about everything in between. I still have a few dates available for 2026 and I am now booking 2027.

As you can see, I take up very little space. A 5'x4' area will accomodate the keyboard, seat, microphone, lighting and PA.

What is not mentioned in the opening video is that I was a solo artist for nearly seven years - from 1996 to 2003. Back then, I used full band tracks that I recorded in my studio, to augment my sound. This gave me the ability to perform in many venues that normally used small bands. Even then, I used video to promote my act. The recordings are antiquated by today's standards, but they certainly did the job. Here's one I used back in 2002. If you are interested in booking me or have any questions, please feel free to contact me by phone at (614) 561-8577or email me at MichaelKontras2009@gmail.com Thank you. Sincerely,
