Overview

I have been playing over 30yrs. I play all genres from the sixties until the present. I accompany my self on guitar and some songs I play harmonica. I usually arrive and hour before my gigs in case there are any changes. I’m am easy to work with and my job is to entertain and provide a good memorable time. I love what I do and love singing and performing. I have a catalog of a 1000 songs or more. I want your family and friends to say to afterwards you that guy was awesome.!!They key is playing at a volume where people can still talk and appreciate the music. This is why I have been successful the last 30 yrs. My rate $150 per is negotiable

Corporate Event

We hired Al to sing and play guitar at a corporate social event for a large law firm in NJ. He provided exactly what we needed and envisioned. His voice and mastery on the guitar produced a beautiful and mellow sound that everyone enjoyed. I highly recommend Al as he is versatile and can be used for any type of event. We look forward to working with him again!

Perfect addition to our party!

We had a lovely birthday for my parents who both turned 90. Almost our entire family was able to attend. The event was at beautiful Bistro 73 outside and Al played beautifully for us for 4 hours. Everyone enjoyed the soft smooth sounds of Al Madison. Thanks Al! You really helped make the event special.

He was great.

I hired Al to perform at my daughter’s wedding. He sang and played the guitar at the ceremony then for cocktail hour. He was very professional and I am happy I chose him for my daughters big day. I have several people approach me telling me how much the enjoyed him and asked me where I found him.

What to expect

Hmmm. I want to say this handsome guy with a great voice...lol. I play acoustic guitar . My setup is very simple a folding chair my amp microphone and stand. . I like to create and ambience that is peaceful. The songs I sing lend themselves to the audience. People should be allowed to converse and if they want be atttentive they can ,but never forced too. I sing and accompany myself on guitar.

About

I have been playing almost thirty years. I grew up in the sixties and seventies. I fell in love with Joni Mitchell James Taylor and of course the Beatles. I have been able to create a part time career. I'm a salesman by day. I have two kids . My youngest is a classically trained musician. He is amazing and my daughter equally amazing is cryptologist in the Navy. I like to play music that you can listen and (link hidden)at has been the key to my success.
