Want live music but don't quite need (or have the budget for) a full band?
Switching between keyboard, vocals, trumpet, guitar, ukulele, harmonica, etc... I can bring the same sound and energy in a smaller, cost effective package.
(By the way, I am more than willing to work with you to try to get pricing within your budget!)
With music from jazz standards and the "Great American Songbook" to zydeco to classic rock I provide music and entertainment that's not your typical "band-in-a-box" cover band/solo act. Perfect for receptions, parties and music "on the deck", and always family friendly.

I play pre-recorded jazz/blues between sets and pre show as well as after.
Playing the Blues to Bop festival in Lugano Switzerland was definitely a memorable experience. Huge crowds and wonderful musicians from all over the world!
I love being able to interact a bit with my audience. Having them close enough to the performance area to talk to them is nice.
I have been performing professionally since I was 17 years old. After High School I pursued a degree in music education which lead to getting involved in theatre. I have been performing ever since!
As a trumpet player I hate to be cliche but, Louis Armstrong and Chet Baker have both been great influences on my music over the years along with other greats such as Hugh Masekela, Herb Alpert, etc.
Two hours is usually allowed for setup with an hour for breakdown. Most performances are two to three hours long.
Being a trumpet player I love playing outdoors! Of course, a nice shady spot with access to power is always appreciated.
I am more than happy to tailor my performance to play specific music the client requests bearing in mind the genres I typically perform.
The words I most often hear used to describe my performances are: energetic, engaging, charismatic, entertaining, eclectic....
