Hey! I'm Paul Tosh, performing
THE SONG IS THE PLAY
A retro-inspired lyrical journey
or monologue & melody, where iconic songs
become living scenes, plus a few originals.
"Every song I perform is dramatic performance art—what I call 'the song is the play.' This is interactive theater at the piano. I'm a therapeutic musical performer who specializes in creating meaningful, emotional connections through live piano and song.
For a decade up and down the East coast of the United States, I've been bringing joy and comfort to seniors. My performances aren't just entertainment—they touch hearts, evoke memories, and create genuine moments of connection.
What makes my performances unique:
Live looping piano creating rich, layered sound
Repertoire spanning multiple generations and cultures
Focus on emotional resonance and therapeutic benefit
Interactive elements that engage residents"

"Wow! This is as different a performance as anything I've seen in terms of the Listening Room Network! It's really more "performance art" than "musical performance"...as much poetry as it is music. He is clearly hugely creative in general, and his lyrics are poetic wonders. And, his piano playing is just exceptional!"
Listening room audition review,
Aug 2025
"Entertainment for seniors is a noble mission, for which you are perfectly suited! Your treating them like an intelligent audience that can handle a varied repertoire, as well as the good old sing-along favourites.
They are deserving of the same quality of entertainment that the rest of can access. Long may you continue."

Originals French & Hebrew song Stride & Boogie A few laughs
The song is the play*, theatrical approach to: The Beatles, Billy Joel, Bob Dylan & Neil Diamond
Lyrics as dramatic performance art
* 🎭“the song is the play” - sometimes treating songs (both covers and originals) with interpretation, acting out the lyrics like a scene from a play, and singing them with live looping (Rhythms and harmonies recorded and stacked live) piano, as well as DJ track arrangements.
This is a sophisticated, intimate entertainment that creates a deep emotional connection.
I have been performing in Swiss and West end London hotels, as well as 55+ and senior living communities in the U.S.
See my videos to get a glimpse of what I’m doing. For me personally it’s always about the development of the show and approach over the years.
I'm self sufficient, I bring full technical line up. If your venue doesn’t have a piano, I have a looping piano/keyboard setup.
I do not need accommodation or food; I show up and perform.
TIMING
I am available to perform any time apart from sundown Friday to sundown Saturday
Saturday in the winter performance time of 7.30/8pm. This gives me travel time if relatively close, plus a one hour set up time.
In more public spaces need 3-7min max equipment security for when my rig is unattended?
- eg at the loo or car
Do you have a house feed, is it XLR or 14”?
Do you want tailored promotional material for a possible e-blast or flyer printing?
