Blue Violin

Electric or acoustic violin experienced in a variety of musical styles from classical to rock, jazz to r&b, movie and video game music. I am classically trained, but also comfortable improvising.

I can perform acoustically as a solo act, or amplified with my electric violin and backing. I can provide all of my own amplification, and am comfortable performing indoors and outdoors.

With a presence as bold as his sound, Blue Violin commands grand concert halls and intimate candlelit venues alike, moving dynamically across the stage while weaving immersive multimedia into every performance. His style blurs the lines between classical mastery and rock-and-roll fire, captivating audiences around the world. Praised by the Boston Ballet as “electrifying” and by The Boston Globe for “sparking musical interest in new ways,” he has performed alongside Gloria Estefan, Paul Simon, and Jennifer Holliday, with special appearances with John Mayer and even Sesame Street.

The Blue Violin has performed at over 1000 weddings throughout the United States, and is available as a ceremony and cocktail hour musician, and for corporate events and wedding receptions. Available as a solo act, or with track, the Blue Violin also collaborates with local DJ’s for larger scale events and parties.

A genre-bending soloist, Blue Violin has brought his high-energy performances to sold-out audiences across Australia, Asia, the United Kingdom, Canada, and throughout the United States. His powerful, cinematic shows have earned standing ovations from U.S. Presidents to Queen Rania of Jordan.

With a signature style that blends live loops, soaring melodies, and virtuosic technique, he transforms a single violin into an entire orchestra—whether reimagining Thunderstruck by AC/DC or delivering an epic, multi-layered version of Free Bird.

Blue Violin shattered classical boundaries with the world premiere of the first-ever rock and roll violin concerto, debuting the groundbreaking work in the United States. He now tours internationally with the Prague Metropolitan Symphony, bringing the piece to audiences in Austria, Germany, Czechia, and the United States. His concerto continues to be featured by major ensembles around the world, praised for its emotional depth and cinematic power.

Blue Violin has recorded and toured with GRAMMY-nominated, chart-topping band Sanctus Real, and performed with Tim Janis, Celtic Woman’s Orla Fallon, and EMI recording artists. He’s contributed to albums with GRAMMY-winning Turtle Island Quartet, Robin McAuley (Scorpions), and GLEE’s Jeanette Olsson.

As founder and first violinist of the award winning Boston String Quartet, he reshaped the modern classical scene and co-led the world premiere of Raul Yanez’s Concerto for Turntable at Carnegie Hall’s Isaac Stern Auditorium with Red Bull Artsehcro.

Critics continue to rave:
“the best rock and roll violinist of a generation” — Music Makers
“Transfixing…Mesmerising” — Perth Happenings

Deeply committed to education, he leads contemporary string clinics that have reached over 10,000's.
