Roy was very friendly and his music was a wonderful addition to our company's Oktoberfest event. He even dressed up to match our theme. He was very professional and punctual. We will definitely keep him in mind for future events.

What to Expect
I play a unique instrument. It begins as a top of the line, custom built, acoustical accordion with banyan reeds (best in the world and a double tone chamber. However, added to that are over 400 musical instruments that can be played with up to 8 different instruments on each side of the accordion, brining in solo voices and variations that are not found in any other electronic instrument. So, this is not your grandpa’s accordion - this instrument can play everything from full symphony orchestrations, to pop, country, ethnic (Italian, French, Spanish). It is basically a "one man band" and is hard to explain so I encourage you to listen to some of my videos to hear the variety of genres available.
I offer sounds form the 50’s., 60,‘da and 70’s. Pop, romance, broadway tunes, country, western, sing along, and of course polkas and Octoberfest - particularly in season. I prefer gigs with a theme, but that is not a requirement.
About
I began as a youth with many years of piano instruction, and like most young people - pretty much abandoned playing music somewhere in high school. Picked up accordion in my 30’s, and then in my 40’s went to a combination of acoustical and electronic accordion - then abandoned it again for 27 years while growing a business. Now, in my senior years - it is my passion again. Bringing music to people brings passion to life.
Additional Booking Notes
If the gig is to be outside, I do need cover in care of inclement weather and enough shade to see my iPad music. I can provide my own power and sound.
Set List
I create set lists based on the theme of the event and the clients desires. I can send a proposed set list for a gig prior to being hired, and if there is enough time before the event am willing to modify it as well as add specially requested songs. Current set lists are: Octoberfest; Showtunes/Broadway; Country; Pop; Lounge Music, songs of the 50’s, 50’s or 70’s; Romance; Sing-a-long; Latin, Italian, German, and French.
