Bring Celebrate Nilsson to your room

Celebrate Nilsson travels light: one performer, piano and guitar, seventy-five to ninety minutes, no band. It has played a jazz cellar, a private studio, and a room full of songwriters after midnight, and it fits anywhere an audience can go quiet for a ballad and loud for “Coconut.”

Listening rooms & theaters

Built for the room where people come to listen. A full evening — the songs, the stories behind them, and the man himself, told by someone who knew him — as one seventy-five-minute set or two sets with a break. Story-driven and singalong-ready; the audience leaves knowing Harry better than when they walked in. Available as a headline evening or paired with a guest artist for a double bill.

House concerts & private events

The show was born in small rooms, and it’s still best in one. Twenty to forty guests, a piano or keyboard, and a host who wants an evening people talk about afterward. Most hosts ask guests for $25 to $35, and the evening pays for itself. Ideal for a birthday, an anniversary, or a gathering of people who grew up on these songs.

Corporate & special events

Audiences who don’t know Nilsson’s name know his songs; by the end of the evening they realize it was him all along. Works as an after-dinner set, a themed evening, or a seventy-five-minute program with a Q&A, from a performer who knew Nilsson, with four decades on stages from the Carnegie Club to network television.
