Feelin' Alright by Joe Cocker is one of those songs that just makes it so much fun to be a musician. This legendary piano track was played by Artie Butler. Here's the opening. I wound up incorporating the percussion from the album with my piano. That was kind of a pain but worth it! #joecocker #joecockerpiano #feelinalright #feelinalrightpiano #ArtieButler #michaelcavanaugh #pianocover ... See MoreSee Less
"In the Air Tonight" by Phil Collins is an iconic 80s song that everyone knows. Here's a simple version of me singing it with just me and the piano. Hope you like it!

Here's a cool little rock/blue/piano riff inspired by the great Billy Preston. I did a video on this same riff in the key of C before so I thought I would do one now in the key of G. Hope you like it!

Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters by Elton John is one of the reasons I’m such a huge fan. Classic song!
