May it give others joy as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri;\">Although I\u2019ve been playing piano my entire life, I took a 25-year break from professional performance. I was a busy marketing\/creative agency executive and devoted family man. But during that time, piano was my therapy and daily escape. I simply love to play. However, life challenges create opportunities for each of us to reset our priorities and create a renewed power and purpose. I did just that. A few years ago I became the professional performer I\u2019d always dreamt of being. And now I\u2019m living the dream and feel truly blessed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri;\">Performing at PDX is nothing but pure joy. Every time an amazing experience. It\u2019s my \u201cnight of a thousand smiles\u201d creating happiness with the masses. Music is a universal language all understand and feel. Given the opportunity to expose my soul and share my gift with millions of people&#8230; can\u2019t ask for much more than that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri;\">I don\u2019t bill myself as a maestro pianist, rather a polished entertainer who makes people feel better through my music. I play cover songs that people love and enjoy. My song lists reach all age groups and demographics.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri;\">Beyond my solo work, I\u2019m currently in two bands; a local groovin\u2019 soul band that gets you moving, and Carpenters tribute band that performs nationally. All fun stuff.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>For more information about Dan Hergert, please visit his website:\u00a0 <a href=\"http:\/\/danhergert.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dan Hergert<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I play for the joy of playing.
