From the decks of commercial fishing boats to the keys of a Steinway Grand Piano, Gary Christiansen’s journey is as deep and unpredictable as the sea he once fished. A 30-year commercial fisherman and former theater organist during the golden era of “Pizza and Pipes,” Gary didn’t truly embrace the piano until his 30s—when the floodgates opened.

Today, his playing is wholly improvisational and conceptual, blending jazz, blues, rock, classical, and pure imagination. No two performances are ever the same. His music isn’t about repetition; it’s about exploration. Each note becomes a story, each performance an intimate conversation between artist and audience.

Now, Gary brings his unforgettable sound to the beautiful Hartley Mansion in a series of curated house shows that combine warm hospitality with world-class musicianship—an evening both cozy and absolutely unforgettable.

PLEASE NOTE: There are two separate show times on 9/20 — 4:30pm-6:00pm & 7:00pm-8:30pm.
