Professionalism, punctuality, flexibility, having a positive attitude and being easy & fun to work worth are all things that are important to Adam as a performer and vendor. Being a soloist allows him to be adaptable to a large variety of events and spaces, so the performances will vary depending on the circumstances. For example a lunchtime party performance is going to vary in atmosphere from a candlelight dinner performance. Adam will make sure and speak with you before the date to understand your expectations for the event so he can be sure they are met.
