Hi, and Welcome!

At Karlyn Music (pronounced CAR-LIN

 

is my formal name, and the name I chose for my business.  If that confuses you, you're not alone.  I went to music school, not business school, so giving my company a name that confuses people is only one of the many mistakes I made in my early years as a small business owner.  But, it's too late to change it now! 

​

Following 4 years of undergraduate music study at Berklee College of Music in Boston, and 3 years as a musician in New York City, I returned to Omaha.  I love the midwest and have enjoyed making music in my hometown.  One of the highlights of my return to the heart of America has been traveling around the country as a pianist for Grammy-award winning band (and #1 selling Christmas act of ALL TIME) MANNHEIM STEAMROLLER.  Some people do not know that the creator, Chip Davis, also resides in Omaha.  Being a part of the Steamroller family has been one of the greatest blessings of my musical career.  

​

When I am not working with the Steamrollers, I make my living as a pianist, vocalist, arranger, and live musician contractor.  I believe live music can bring an event to life.  I especially enjoy making unique musical arrangements of songs for wedding ceremonies and cocktail hours, and hearing them come to life with other instruments like strings or my full jazz band.   

​

I hope you'll stick around and take a listen to some of the tracks I've posted on my HOME page.  If you are interested in inquiring about my availability and pricing for a wedding, funeral, dinner party, cocktail hour, or anything in-between, please visit my CONTACT page.
