The Piano Guys have performed everywhere from The Tonight Show with Jay Leno to The Today Show as well having been featured in The New York Times, Fast Company, Buzzfeed, People Magazine, Mashable and so on. Their remarkable video for “Batman Evolution,” off the album Wonders, featured Batmobile replicas of the 1966 version, the 1989 and the Tumbler from The Dark Knight.
But just who are The Piano Guys? There’s only one piano player, Jon Schmidt, and one other instrumentalist, Steven Sharp Nelson, on cello. The other two members are Paul Anderson (producer and videographer) and Al van der Beek (producer and songwriter). The name comes from Anderson’s piano store in St. George, Utah, which was called The Piano Guys. Looking for an alternative to low-yield conventional advertising, Anderson devised a Facebook promotional page and YouTube channel featuring the most famous pianist he could find – local pianist, Jon Schmidt.
All four members of the group come from unique professional backgrounds. Whether they were brought together by serendipitous circumstances or fate, it matters not. When they get together, they make magic.
As well as experiencing huge success online with their hit versions of Frozen’s “Let It Go”, David Guetta and Sia’s “Titanium” and Christina Perri’s “A Thousand Years” amongst others, The Piano Guys have made a name for themselves through their grandiose music videos in exotic Wonders of the World locations, such as The Great Wall of China and Iguazu Falls on the border of Argentina and Brazil. The 7 Wonders video series has completed 4 videos with 3 more to come.
