December 31, 2023Best Performer Ever
Brad was absolutely amazing. He arrives early to do sound check to be sure that everything was in working order before he started. He was amazing with guests, accepting requests and taking pictures. His voice is stunning. We all had such a good time, that we already confirmed booking him again! Thanks Brad for an amazing performance!

Thank you Christine. I’m glad you and your guests enjoyed the performance. Looking forward to the next event. And thanks for the review!

November 13, 2023Incredible! Book him & get his whiskey on ice ready.
Brad is the whole package: amazing vocalist, performer, crooner, professional, flexible, and has the look. We booked him for our black-tie wedding that was held in the great Hall of State (art deco) in Fair Park, and Brad provided the singing for the sit-down dinner and played dance music when his set was over. We provided a list of songs for the dance which was perfect. You don't not need a DJ unless you want that energy, but this didn't stop our guests from dancing the whole night. His singing and presence was made for the great Hall, and added the class and pizazz for our wedding day. We're so thrilled that we booked him and would do it again for another event! He sang for us when we cut our cake and had our last solo dance together. It was perfect. Thank you, Brad for adding to our happiest day. I appreciated his talent, but more so, his attitude and professionalism (prompt responses and efficient).

December 8, 2025Fantastic Find!
We booked Brad for our company holiday party and he was even better than expected. He was professional, personal and has a great voice and lovely personality. I had several people ask where I found him. He was a big hit, and I will definitely book him again!

November 4, 2025Amazing
We LOVE having Brad at our events. He is always professional and puts on a phenomenal show. Our guests were in awe and enjoyed every minute of his performance. The only downside is that we hired him strictly for VIP hour, and we wish we had hired him for the whole event. He is personal and focused on what the client needs. I would highly recommend him for any event.

Thank you for the kind review Kim. And thank you for inviting me to be a part of Royce City ISD’s event. You put on a wonderful show!

September 22, 2025The Best Wedding Singer in DFW
We met Brad at a styled shoot last year. My then fiance and I were modeling and heard Brad’s singing and knew we wanted to hire him do our wedding.
Brad was incredibly friendly when we approached him and we quickly arranged for him to sing during dinner at our wedding through GigSalad.
Throughout the planning year, Brad met with us multiple times and our planner and our DJ to ensure we were all aligned. Because of this, the transitions to and from our DJ and Brad were absolutely seamless. Even though Brad was not singing until dinner time, he came early in the day to set up, prepare, and connect with our DJ to ensure everything was properly taken care of. It meant a lot to us to see how dedicated he was.
Our guests raved about Brad’s singing. Many approached us to tell us how he was their favorite part of the evening. His signature tuxedo matched our black tie optional dress code perfectly too.
Brad also sang our parent dance songs. My husband requested a few lyrics changed to say “Mama” instead of “Babe” to make his song more appropriate for the occasion and Brad was able to make it so natural. For mine, I requested a song that my dad sang to me as a baby. Brad introduced our dance sharing this story with our guests and mentioning he wouldn’t be able to do the song justice so he would let my dad sing to me. This beautiful moment was so special and unexpected and I was so touched. I will remember my dad’s face and voice forever.
Our speeches went longer than planned, and Brad did not skip a beat. He stayed and sang until we had transitioned back to our DJ as emcee and moved to another part of the event even though we were not running exactly on time.
Whether you’re planning a wedding or other party, Brad is the perfect entertainer. His charisma, stage presence, and dedication are unbeatable. We feel so blessed to have met him and have him be a memorable part of our wedding day.

What to expect
Your choice: Brad can provide 'Main Event' style entertainment, engaging the audience between and during songs; or, alternatively, he can blend nicely into the scenery to provide ambient background music and a classy addition to any occasion.
In either case, you get a well presented crooner in a tuxedo to bring a touch of class and distinction to any event.
About
Brad grew up in rural Australia listening and singing along to Bing Crosby. Over time his influences grew to include Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Nat King Cole, Ella Fitzgerald, Michael Buble and others.
Brad performs a lot for retirement communities: for people who grew up listening to the same music as himself. He's one of the few who really love their job.
Additional booking notes
Requirements: power outlet and a small table.
