I have made music my life and my life has made my music. Music is the only language understood by any and everybody any and everywhere. What a thrill it has been to be able to convey every depth and facet of my existence in music across all boundaries. Thank you for sharing my life of music with me.

PIEDMONT PIANO CONCERT APRIL 25, 2020 CANCELLED FOR COVID 19

 

I am sorry to announce that the COVID 19 shelter in place order has caused Piedmont Piano to do the right thing and cancel all scheduled shows for the near future. Ticket refunds are available but you may choose, when offered, to allow me to keep the ticket proceeds which will help me in paying my musicians $100.  If you so choose, THANK YOU!

I'm looking forward to the future when some sense of normalcy returns.  PP has generously offered to reschedule the shows giving priority to the cancelled acts.  

I offer my most sincere hopes for all of you and that we can come through this as a community of loving people, especially MUSIC loving people.

Eric Muhler Trio - 70th Birthday Celebration - Saturday, April 25th, 2020 8:00 pm

I'm returning for my fifth show at the Piedmont Piano where I'm celebrating my 70th birthday and 58 years of playing live music!.  I’ll be performing my own compositions in solo, duo, and trio format.  The band will include bassist Ollie Dudek and Phil Hawkins on drums.  The music compositions, from complex lush harmonies to driving funk/fusion grooves, power the band and always offer a new perspective on improvised music in both melodic, harmonic, and structural choices.  Add to that the mastery and incredible experience bank that Ollie and Phil bring to the music and you have a completely unique concert of new music!

IN CONCERT - PIEDMONT PIANO - SATURDAY, JANUARY 26, 2019

 

Pianist Eric Muhler returns to Piedmont Piano to play his original compositions, incorporating freestyle improvisations and introducing random elements that surprise and excite. Come for a musical adventure with this one-of-a-kind and complex performer as he works in his most untethered format, covering a spectrum of jazz styles. Muhler takes the audience on a transformative journey into intensely melodic and deeply harmonic inner space.

ERIC MUHLER SOLO PIANO - PT. REYES DANCE PALACE - SATURDAY, JANUARY 20, 2018

After my debut show last September, the Dance Palace was eager to have me back.  I'm happy to announce that I'm returning on Saturday, January 20th to start the New Year with a solo piano concert on the fantastic, 9 foot, Grotrian grand piano.  

My solo act combines both classical music repertoire and my own original compositions with a demonstration of totally improvised music that tends to defy influence and origin.  I tap into deep streams of musicality from all traditions including Western European classical and Americana: from jazz and  blues to rock and funk, romantic melody, chromatic color harmony,  and Latin and African rhythms that combine to transcend, transform, and illuminate. 

Please join me for this unique and moving musical journey.
