About Me
🎹 Rick Charwin – Piano Player, Vocalist & Drummer
Rick Charwin is a piano player and singer based in Lebanon, New Jersey, known for blending the timeless elegance of the Great American Songbook with the warmth of Country and the easy charm of light rock. His sophisticated sound creates the perfect backdrop for restaurants, private parties, and special events, enhancing the atmosphere without overpowering it.
Rick has performed at local eateries and outdoor gatherings, bringing familiar songs to life in a way that feels both fresh and comforting. Whether it’s a classic standard or a tune you’ve always loved, his music is designed to elevate the ambiance and make every occasion memorable.
Rick can perform as a solo act or add a guitar player to form a duo, called The Young Fossils, that appeals to any venue. The addition of a second instrument expands the song selections and introduces the flavor of a second vocalist and soloist.
Beyond his work as a pianist and vocalist, Rick is also an accomplished drummer who anchors the Hunterdon Hills Trio. Sophisticated and smooth, this jazz ensemble — featuring upright bass, piano, and drums — delivers timeless musical offerings that can transform any gathering into a truly memorable event.
Whatever your needs may be, Rick will provide the ideal musical backdrop for your party, restaurant, or event.
