Customer questions
What do your clients love most about your performances?
Clients love the fact I can read the audience. Sometimes clients will request a certain genre, and the guests respond to something different. One client requested Yacht Rock and there majority of the guests wanted modern country. Thus, by the end of the evening everyone was line dancing to Brooks & Dunn.
Which venues have you performed at in the past?
I perform a lot of outdoor events. Block parties, private corporate events. I have done numerous weddings and funerals. I do play clubs and restaurants in the local area
Which artists have you been most influenced by?
My influence and what I play is vast. From Frank Sinatra to Depeche Mode. From Johnny Cash to Shaboozey. From Tina Turner to Backstreet Boys. My mother was a music teacher, and my brother was nationally known Radio Personality do music was big in family
What is the most high profile gig you've performed?
Several corporate events I have done were outdoor events for Canon of Virginia, Stihl, and City of Chesapeake were very large. In addition, Spring and Fall events for Churches and Charities
What if my timings change after I've booked you?
