Terrific entertainer!
I contacted Tom Evan about delivering a singing birthday telegram 3 days before the event and I couldn't be happier with the result! Tom suggested that we turn the singing telegram into a bit more by offering to dress as a pirate for the pirate-themed 50th birthday party, then suggested adding the Jimmy Buffet tune "A Pirate Looks at 40" with a tweak to make it fit a 50th birthday theme. I live in Alabama and was unable to attend the party in Oviedo, Fl and the feedback I have received regarding Tom's performance has been extremely favorable - they loved him! He even performed an encore of "Freebird" as requested by some of the guests! I personally have never met Tom and was very pleased with his communication with me before and after the event. He kept in constant contact with me on a daily basis, making sure he understood exactly what I wanted from him during the performance and he was a pleasure to work with for this ocassion. I highly recommend Tom for any of your entertainment needs and I look forward to working with him in the future!

About
Starting in 1964, sparked by the Beatles appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show, I learned how to play the guitar. Quickly building a repertoire of the popular songs of the era, I was often invited to perform at family gatherings and school and church functions at first, then at house parties, school events and dances and later at coffee houses, pubs, parties and local clubs while at college in Miami, Fl and the NJ/PA/NY tri-state area. Since that time I have been honing my skills in a wide variety of settings and venues.
Throughout my career I have either performed solo, maintained my own band or been a member of established Dance, Wedding/Banquet, Corporate Function and Show Bands performing at Nightclubs, Banquet Facilities, Hotels and Casinos and in concerts at Theme Parks, County Fairs, and Concert Halls from Maine to Miami.
I have now somewhat returned to my “roots” as I am back to performing solo, playing the acoustic guitar and singing popular songs from a wide variety of musical genres.
