Even though Ian is relatively young, he has by far become one of the most wanted piano entertainers in Europe. Ian has a lot of energy and great tunes that really impress you. The last years Ian has toured all of Europe with little visits to Norway now and then. The popular "Jacobs BQ" in Aarhus, Denmark is among the pianobars which often hires Ian. He has also made some albums, among them "Out of the Blue" and "Standing in the Sun", with his own songs. Ian's repertoire goes all the way from the music of the 50's till today's hitlist tops, lots of funk and rock'n'roll. Ian really lifts the roof, and that is what makes him so popular and wanted by the most popular pianobars in Europe. Famous places such as "Jacobs BQ" in Denmark, "Cafe Opera" in Iceland and "Maxim" in Amsterdam are just a few of the places Ian normally visit every year. Ian has everything a piano entertainer can possibly wish for. He is carismatic, has a great voice and he is a fabulous piano player. Ian knows how to entertain his audience - he sits, he stands, he plays with his fingers and with his feet and makes people go along in a way only Ian can. Few entertainers are as professional as Ian Hooper. He is, as mentioned earlier, absolutely one of the most popular piano entertainers in Europe, likely because of his many qualities, as for instance a modern and continously updated repertoire, style, tempo, carisma and musical gifts. What impresses us, who know Ian Hooper, is that he is a "stayer", his ability to always give a hundre percent of himself, he is always in a good mood, never tired and he has a unique ability to keep on going when the occasion calls for it. Ian "forgets" to take breaks when there is a lot going on in the pianobar.
15 years ago I bought Out of The Blue at Jacobs BQ, and it is still one of my favorits. Looking forward to see you and enjoy your great piano again.
the track "Human" by the Killers...will now always be associated with the 27th February in the Piano Bar in Davos...It was a very entertaining birthday from what i can remember!!!!
I feel sorry for anybody doing the March stint in the piano bar in Davos - because Ian Hooper is doing February. What a tough act to follow. He is king of the party and we count the days til he arrives. *****
Hes a great musician and a absolutely good companion for a lonely night in a foreign city. I met him in Davos in the Pianobar at the \"Europe\". It were great four nights filled with his music - dancing, singing and letting the good times roll...thank you, Ian, for these wonderful hours! Nik
What a talent!!!, I dont need to say anymore, cause this man will go far! :)
My God, I´m so impressed by this magnificant man. I´ve never heard anyone playing the piano like he does, so gentle, so light and so beautiful almost erotic. He plays with such passion, energy and his heart. It moves your soul to tears how beautiful he plays. I saw him for the third time at Mortens Krog in sweden yesterday 25/5 and I am so lucky to have the opportunity to experience this musicoracel. When he plays "shes like the wind" form Dirty Dancing, then I start to cry. With such careness and feeling he make the song to a emotional tornado. I love Ian Hooper and I hope I will see him soon in Sweden again. Great Love From Ina.
