Biff Moyer plays & sings “She Moved Through The Fair”

Overview

Biff plays solo violin as well as creating his own guitar accompaniment, looping and singing. Biff has a vast knowledge of 50’s - 80’s pop songs and with a humorous element to his game, is perfect for parties, get togethers, birthdays, proposal moments and of course, weddings (which he has been playing since the 1980’s).

Biff is excellent at custom tailoring music for your specific event and space needs.
