The Music of Eddie Bullen

Hello folks, for many years I have sat at the piano and played solo piano for my own enjoyment and sometimes my close friends will have an opportunity to hear me when I am in the mood. Many have asked the question, "When are you going to do your solo piano repertoire at a public venue?" Well my dear friends, the opportunity presented itself, Every Friday, I will be performing in an intimate setting at Da Gianni E Maria, 794. St Clair Ave., West. Call in advance, to make reservations, 416-652-3982. ww.giannimaria.com
