I have more than 20 years experience as a professional acoustic guitarist/singer.
I can perform as a solo act/one-man band, as a duo or with a full band depending on your budget and music preferences.
I have an extensive playlist of over 500 songs spanning the last 50+ years of Pop, Rock, Country and R&B favorites.
You're welcome to pick the songs and I'm happy to take requests. I use foot pedals to create beats, loops and harmonies to accompany myself while I play so I can sound like a one-man-band. I provide all of the necessary sound equipment and can provide audio and video samples and client reviews on request. I'm sure you will find I have the talent, experience and professionalism to help make your event a success.

I just need a flat area to set-up with access to an electrical outlet or extension cord. Minimum area for a solo performance is 3' x 6' with one speaker or 3' x 10' with 2 speakers. Outdoors, a covered patio or deck is preferred to grass.
Does the venue have it's own sound system and is there someone on-site who knows how to run it? If there are in-wall connectors, I need to know what kind (RCA, XLR, 1/4 inch or Speakon male or female, powered or unpowered). Where do I park and load in equipment? How far is that from the performance area? Do I have to take an elevator, stairs or travel across grass or gravel?
I provide all necessary sound equipment including microphones, PA mixer and speakers. Staging and lighting is available for an additional fee.
Yes, I'm happy to play music from Spotify between sets and briefly before or after the performance. Client can share playlists or I can provide my own.
My band Uninterrupted opened for John Legend at the University of Maryland in 2004. I've also played in front of large crowds at the old Capital Ballroom/Nation venue and for baseball fans at Washington Nationals games.
I love playing my own music on large stages in front of big crowds and I've had a few opportunities to do that in my career but it can often be just as rewarding in front of a small intimate audience if you've got their full attention. I also enjoy playing parties, because they can be a lot of fun.
I started playing guitar in party bands in high school and by the time I was 18, I was playing in bars doing covers. By 21, I was starting to sing, write and record original music with bands and on my own. At 26, I began playing acoustic gigs, eventually developing my solo act for weddings, private parties and corporate events.
Favorite guitarists: Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Carlos Santana, Duane Allman, Dickie Betts, Derek Trucks, Eric Johnson, John Frusciante, Tom Morello, Slash. Favorite singers: Marvin Gaye, Donny Hathaway, Al Green, Stevie Wonder, Prince, Van Morrison, Paul Rodgers, Chris Cornell. Favorite songwriters: Bob Marley, Paul Simon, Van Morrison, Lennon/McCartney, Jagger/Richards, Stevie Wonder.
Solo/Duo Acoustic: 30 minutes for set-up
Electric Band: 1-2 hours for set-up
Performance Time is usually 2-4 hours, with a 15 minute break every 60-90 minutes
Yes, outdoor gigs are great, but have a backup plan in case of inclement weather. Electrical power is the first consideration. Plan the performance area close to an electrical outlet or accessible by extension cord. Where there is no access to electricity, a small battery powered PA may be used for solo gigs, or a generator may be used for larger groups but they are noisy and need to be distanced from the stage or performance area. A flat surface is necessary, so choose a patio or deck over a grassy area. A tent or awning is suggested for shade and protection from rain. If the temperature is expected to be above 90 or below 50, you should move indoors.
I have over 500 songs in my repertoire and I add new ones all the time. It spans the last 50+ years of Pop, Rock, Country and R&B favorites. I allow clients to pick the songs from my list in advance or make requests on the spot. I will learn special requests for an additional fee, but they must be pre-approved. Some things are outside my ability to sing or play.
I maintain a Five Star Rating on all booking platforms and can provide dozens of unedited reviews from past clients.
