About

Steve Chianesi

Multi Keyboards, and Lead Vocals

Steven is a multi-faceted and experienced musician who has performed in a variety of musical settings … singing and playing for national hotel chains, at ski areas and honeymoon resorts and casinos as well as on Cunard’s Queen Elizabeth II Cruise Ship and in Austria, Switzerland and Italy. An incredibly versatile performer, he has a lifetime of experience in these settings and more.

Also, Steven is a highly experienced church organist and singer with extensive knowledge and experience with all of the music associated with the various sacraments. His music ministry has taken him to numerous parishes throughout Rhode Island and Massachusetts (playing and singing at masses, weddings and funerals and other services) and he even had the opportunity to play the Pipe Organ in St Patrick’s Cathedral in NYC. His ability to play the organ and sing in Spanish as well as English makes him a valuable asset to the church community.

Whether performing secular (religious) or contemporary music, Steven is the consummate professional who devotes his full attention to his clients. Whether singing or playing Ballads, Broadway Musicals, Dance Hits, Disco, the Great American Songbook, Oldies, Rock, and Showtunes, Steven brings new keyboard vitality to all of the memorable classics. Professionally performing as a member of one of the premier wedding bands in New England for over 30 years, the TCS Band (Tancredi, Chianesi, Sullivan), he is incredibly proficient at his craft and loves and can play all styles of music.

Throughout the years, Steve has played with musical notables such as: Bad Men and Robin; Blue Cherry Pie; Boomerz; COD Blues Band; Elvis Express Band; Enrico Garzilli (Playwrite); Exact Change; Fortune; Here Again; Hurricane; Jack and the Rippers; Jaded; Jesse “Elvis” Garron; Jubilation; Kickin’ Brass; Paul Borrelli Entertainment; Ralph Cursi Musician’s Exchange; RenmantZ; Robert Black Band; Rumours; Soul Ambition; Twilight; Vini Ames’ Sh-Bop; and Wavelength as well as his own beloved TCS Band with long time business partners Steve Tancredi and Kevin Sullivan.
