Alan Beale is a high energy piano bar entertainer, but years ago he used to be just one of those American kids growin' up in the heartland. He had his first professional experience in Chicago, focusing on piano rock with cover and original bands, and as musical director for a couple comedy theaters. Soon after, Alan started working as a musician on cruise ships. Drawn to its deep musical history, Alan moved to New Orleans, and spent a number of years there ticklin' the ivories in bars, cafes, and hotels, while also dedicating some time to obtaining a masters degree in music in 2021. Always a globetrotter, Alan has no problem traveling to entertain audiences worldwide, and is glad to see you here, wherever "here" may be!.
