Very talented and Versatile

FundraiserWe are so grateful that we had Kurt perform at our event in Astoria, Queens. He was very professional and accommodating to our needs. We didn't give him much direction and he did an excellent job of playing his own tracks and mixing in great cover songs that had the whole place signing.

I was very impressed with his versatility and expansive musical knowledge. Two thumbs up for Mr. Borst

Response from Kurt Borst:
Thank you so much! It was a pleasure playing for such a great cause.

Overview

About

When playing a private party or event for clients, I love nothing more than an opportunity to entertain audiences, and welcome all song requests. My easy going manner, and friendly personality matched with optimal musical abilities, make me the ultimate choice for entertainment. With an ever growing list of cover songs, including Classic Rock, Reggae, 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's hits, and current favorites, I seamlessly combine styles into smooth sets that keeps the crowd singing along. My soulful singing permeates through to all the music I perform whether my own, or another artist's. I am available solo or with my band.
