About
Meet PJ Gartrell, a former Marine who's been rocking stages both nationally and internationally for two thrilling decades! With a passion for entertainment running through his veins, he's been the life of every party he steps foot into.
After years living in Florida, and traveling and wowing crowds all over the US, as well as parts of Western Europe, Southeast Asia, and the Horn of Africa, PJ decided to put down roots with his beloved wife and daughter in the heart of the Greater Des Moines area. There, he took on the role of Entertainment Director and star performer at the legendary Blue Moon Dueling Piano Bar.
But then, the pandemic hit, and the world went quiet. PJ took a brief hiatus, but it didn't dampen his spirit. Now, he's is back with a bang, armed with a brand new show that'll blow your mind. From the moment he steps on stage, you'll feel the energy in the air, and the fun won't stop until the last note fades away. PJ knows how to get the party started, keep it going, and leave you begging for an encore.
His unique talent, infectious personality, and remarkable skill with each instrument will have you dancing, singing, and laughing throughout the entire show.
