I would need to know where to set up and location of an outlet. I have the equipment needed for any venue, and can work from a small area if needed.
Any information that will assist in a smooth setup time.
I can provide Sound equipment.
I can provide break/intermission music.
I love to play many types of venues as a solo instrumentalist. As a band member, I played at the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame for corporate events and a wedding.
All kinds. Wineries are fun and relaxing.
I have performed in full bands for many years at corporate events, weddings, clubs, restaurants, etc. I now pursue a Solo Instrumental act and it is very rewarding and challenging. I have loved fingerstyle / solo guitar music all my life.
Chet Atkins, Jerry Reed, Joe Pass, Martin Taylor, Tommy Emmanuel, Larry Carlton, Bela Fleck, to name a few.
Setup 1 hr, playing time determined by venue. Usually 2-3 hours.
With coverage from the elements available if needed.
Requests are welcome in advance of the performance.
Relaxing and uplifting music!
