I can work within any space- if outdoors during summer a Canopy is nice, and outlet locations- will need 1 outlet.
Directions, the space I’ll be playing, as well as load in areas and times
I have my own PA system
Yes I can play a Spotify play list between sets and am happy to create myself or get input from the client.
My favorite type of event are where the guests are able to chat with each other while listening and dancing to the music. I love seeing the smiles when they recognize a song!
I normally arrive 45 minutes to one hour before the performance to allow for load in and set up time. For two hour times I play 1 60 minute set and 1 45 minute set with a 10-15 minute break. For three hours 1 90 minute set and 1 75 minute set.
Yes! I love playing outdoors! A canopy is always nice to have to provide a little shade and will need a power supply/outlet close by. I have a 15 foot extension cord. Flat surface is nice as well
I love having input from the clients whether it be from my list of songs I already know or ones they’d love to hear that I can learn but as that discussions happen before the event so I can learn the songs if needed.
My customers would describe my performances as entertaining with a varied set list that has something for every one, while throwing in a little self deprecating humor .
