He has played jazz piano since the 1960's. He started arranging and performing jazz versions of some of his church's favorite hymns in 1996. Dr. Storeygard has been musically influenced the most by Ramsey Lewis, Dave Brubeck, and Oscar Peterson. His arrangements interweave the styles of these great musicians with his own style. His music is reverent enough for church services, but relaxed enough to listen to anywhere.
