One-hour solo piano private concert by Sam Stryke (Xander Struyk's dad; JK 3). Includes the performance of original songs from "Emerging"(2002)"his award-winning album (voted "Best Album of 2003" by Jamey Osborne, KTEP FM). His music, which has continued to evolve and change over a fifteen year career as a musician, is an organic blend of rock, jazz, and orchestral music. Sam is currently working on a meditative Christmas album "Peace" (2006) to be released later this year.

This is a wonderful opportunity for

• an old-fashioned formal dinner party with a recital
• a cocktail party with a special, intimate evening concert
• or something more casual for just you and your friends

Of course, a freshly tuned piano is preferred, but if necessary, Sam can bring a keyboard. Date subject to availability, but he'll do his best to work with your schedule. Sorry, no weddings, bar/bah mitzvahs, or large functions.

You've probably heard his original compositions on high-profile TV commercials: check his website for updates on Superbowl commercials, etc. Since 1995, Sam was been composing for TV and radio commercials (including the famous and award-wining Bud Light "Real Men of Genius" campaign) as well as scoring independent films (Merlot, 1998; In Check, 2001). His commercial work involves orchestral scoring as well as a lot of latin, rock 'n roll and alternative music.
