Bobby van Deusen

A concert by Bobby van Deusen could include “Ain’t Misbehavin’,” “Dizzy Fingers,” “The Entertainer,” “I Want a Girl,” “Maple Leaf Rag,” “Side By Side” or medleys from “The Sound of Music” or "The Phantom of the Opera."

“They’re familiar tunes. I try to play them in a way that not only catches people’s ears but gives them a chance to maybe have their own visualization of what’s going on as part of the music,” van Deusen said.

“I play really pretty piano music and mix that up with sing-alongs and family-friendly tunes. I do a couple of Ray Stevens’ things and keep people laughing and keep toes tapping and people smiling. I just play the piano the best that I can.”
