“Saffert has devoted serious time to developing piano skills that rival Liberace’s. He didn’t just impersonate the pianist, he really embodied his whole spirit."
- San Francisco Chronicle
DAVID SAFFERT, like Liberace, is a classically trained pianist from Wisconsin. He has been seen on stage in sketch comedy, improv, solo piano concerts, and in his very own music & comedy variety shows. David has worked as a pianist (sans sequins) with such organizations as the Guthrie Theater (MN), Oregon Ballet Theatre, Portland Opera, Oregon Symphony, Portland Gay Men’s Chorus, Oregon Shakespeare Festival, Portland Center Stage and the Interlochen Arts Camp.
Some of David’s favorite Liberace tribute highlights have been at 54 Below (NY), Feinstein’s at the Nikko (CA), Feinstein’s at Hotel Carmichael (IN), eSPACE King Edward (Calgary, AB), The Underground (MN), Portland Center Stage, Schnitzer Concert Hall, The Old Church, Broadway Rose Theatre, CoHo Theatre and All Classical Radio (OR). He appeared as the featured guest on two Under the Vegas Sun television episodes which were filmed at the Liberace Mansion in Las Vegas and is currently advised by Bo Ayars; Liberace’s music director from 1973-1985.
