Not Your Average Lunch Hour — Nate Hance
Live Corporate Entertainment + Team Experience

Not Your
Average
Lunch Hour.

A 45-60 minute live piano show for your team. Viral moments, impossible requests, and a custom song written just for your company.

The pianist who played a wedding on an iPad. Who adapted four hours of music around twenty broken keys using painters tape. Who played Stayin' Alive backwards and upside down on a live stage. Now in your cafeteria.

"She heard I played iPad piano. She said she didn't even notice."
The bride, in the comments, defending me to 3.5 million strangers

It's not a concert. It's not a workshop. It's 45 minutes your team will still be talking about Friday.

Your team brings song requests. They spin a wheel of genres. They put painters tape on the piano keys and watch what happens when half the instrument becomes unplayable. They hear a custom jingle written specifically for your company before anyone walked in the door.

There's nothing passive about it. The room becomes part of the show.

THE SHOW What actually happens.
1
The Piano Is Broken. Or Is It.
The show opens with Fur Elise. Clean. Classical. Then something goes wrong. What follows is the same piece played in jazz, blues, ragtime, bossa nova, and finally in a full Fur Elise vs. Jaws mashup nobody asked for but everyone needed. The room figures out pretty quickly this is not background music.

Upside Down. Backwards. Live.
The piano gets flipped. Hands reversed. The opening stunt that got Nate a Fox9 feature and a 20-city theater tour. People don't believe it's possible until they watch it happen in front of them.

The Painters Tape Game.
Someone from your team tapes off keys at random. Now half the piano is broken. Nate plays requests around whatever's left. It sounds like it shouldn't work. It always works. Your team gets to be the ones who broke it.

Wheel of Genres. Any Song. No Safety Net.
Your team shouts requests. Someone spins the wheel. Harry Potter meets ragtime. Don't Stop Believin' as a tango. Canon in D vs. Super Mario Bros. The weirder the request, the better the outcome. Always.

Your Company Jingle.
Before Nate walked in, he wrote your company a jingle. Built from your mission, your culture, your history. He plays it at the close. Your team hears their company turned into music. Nobody forgets it.
Custom. Yours to keep.

Twenty broken keys.
Nobody noticed.

Christmas party. Beautiful bed-and-breakfast. They'd moved grandmother's sentimental grand piano into the space and they wanted me to play it for four hours.

I sat down to warm up and immediately knew something was wrong. Twenty keys. Not just out of tune. Unplayable. I asked if I could use my own keyboard instead. They said no. This was grandmother's piano. That was the whole point.

So I asked for painters tape. Marked every key I needed to avoid. Spent four hours adapting every song around what was left.

Nobody came up and said something sounded off. They went about their party. I did my part.

At your show, your team gets to be the ones with the tape. See what happens when they break it.

No piano. No electricity.
The bride didn't notice.

Beautiful outdoor wedding. The groom's childhood piano wasn't coming. No power source within reach. Generator too loud for a ceremony.

An iPad Pro. GarageBand. A battery-powered Bluetooth speaker. A one-second delay that made playing with the violinist nearly impossible. We made it work.

The videographer uploaded ten seconds of it. 3.5 million views. The bride jumped into the comments herself. "There was a miscommunication. He made the best of it."

Afterward she came up to me. Said she'd heard I was playing on an iPad. Said she didn't even notice.

Your company,
turned into music.

Before every show, Nate writes a custom piano jingle for your company. Built from your mission, your history, and your culture. He plays it at the close of the show.

Your team didn't ask for it. That's the point. It's a small unreasonable brief he gives himself every time.

Want something bigger? The fully produced version is an add-on.

Included
Live Solo Piano Jingle
A custom piano composition written before the show and performed live at the close. Yours to keep as a recording. Written around your mission, culture, or company story.
