1. “H.O.L.Y” by Piano Tribute Players

Piano Tribute Players is a group of musicians that cover a variety of genres. Originally made

famous by Florida Georgia Line, “H.O.L.Y” was featured on their album 35 Piano Pop Hits of

3. “Good Girl” by Sentry Sounds Country

Carrie Underwood released her hit “Good Girl” on her 2012 album Blown Away. Sentry Sounds Country’s 2019 album Your Country Side Piano Covers is a tribute to Underwood. Sentry Sounds Country takes a unique spin on this song by incorporating jazz chords that mimic Underwood’s vocal techniques.

4. “I Hope You Dance” by The O’Neill Brothers Group

The O’Neill Brothers are a duo that was inducted into the Minnesota Music Hall of Fame in 2021. Their version of Lee Ann Womack’s “I Hope You Dance” appears in the 2011 album Ice Castles Through the Eyes of Love: Moving Piano Songs.
