Overview

Hi, I'm a seasoned music professional who runs and books a number of bands in the Charleston, SC area and beyond. I perform in and lead a number of groups ranging from bluegrass and acoustic music, to jazz, to a New Orleans style brass band, and even a world-beat band! I can also facilitate booking bands of other genres; even wedding ceremony music, sound reinforcement and so on. With two and a half decades in the industry, I have unique experience that ranges from performing, to running events, to managing and production.

Some of the bands I lead and book:

The Battery Brass Band
Charleston Heritage Jazz Ensemble
Moto-grass
Green Levels
Bluegrass Undercover

Great bluegrass band

This was my first time using gig salad and I didn't know what to expect, but the bluegrass band we hired for our rehearsal dinner was wonderful. We're hoping to hire them again in the future for a party at our house. Thanks Steven for the easy communication and the great music!

Hired as: Acoustic Band, Bluegrass Band
