88 KEYS

DECADES OF PIANO ROCK HITS

BIOGRAPHY

The Kings of 88 celebrates the artists who made the piano one of the defining sounds of rock & roll. From pioneers Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, Fats Domino and Ray Charles to icons like Elton John, Billy Joel, Stevie Wonder and beyond, The Kings of 88 brings generations of classic piano-driven hits together in one high-energy show.

For more than a decade, The Kings of 88 has entertained audiences throughout the West, performing at hundreds of concerts and events — from summer concert series, fairs and festivals to casinos, corporate functions and special events.

At the helm is The Kings of 88 founder, pianist and lead singer Tommy Reeves, whose dynamic piano playing, powerful vocals and engaging stage presence drive the show. An accomplished singer, songwriter and pianist, Reeves has performed alongside an impressive range of artists, including Reba McEntire, Common, Tony Bennett, Liza Minnelli, Ziggy Marley, Melissa Etheridge and legendary composer Burt Bacharach.
