Pianist David Ervin brings a red-hot style of musical entertainment to the stage. Shifting from up-tempo smooth jazzy blues to oldtimey swing combined with funk, David calls himself a "swank pianist" which encompasses 100 years of piano styling, and gets crowds tapping and clapping right from the first beat. Expressing a wide musical range of expression, Ervin strives to create memorable one of a kind improv performances.
