Sam Gogia

Sam Gogia sits at the piano and sings, sometimes swapping to guitar, with backing tracks to fill out the sound. The songs reach from Sinatra, Dean Martin and Elvis through Queen, Elton John and Pink Floyd to newer hits from Coldplay and Ed Sheeran, with Billy Joel and The Beatles as big influences. After about five years of playing restaurants and bars, the show is built around familiar favourites that make people smile when they recognise the opening bars. That suits a restaurant dinner, a bar session or a relaxed private function. Home is the Gold Coast, and travel runs up to 200 km.
