About

Brad M is a solo vocalist/acoustic guitarist performing acoustic US/UK rock, US/UK pop and US country favorites. Brad has featured as a solo act and a member of in-demand local and touring bands in numerous areas of the eastern US for two decades. He knows striking the balance between selection of material and quality/consistency of performance is the key to entertaining an audience.

Brad is a strong believer in the immediacy of live, real music. To keep things fresh he occasionally invokes modern technology to add vocal harmonies - allowing him to sing all three parts of a Crosby, Stills & Nash number, for example!

An experienced recording and live sound engineer, Brad is committed to quality sound via quality equipment. He owns a state-of-the-art (but compact) PA system and accompanying gear that deliver pleasing, well-balanced sound in almost any venue. His main instrument is a RainSong guitar - an instrument constructed entirely from graphite and carbon fiber which makes it impervious to variations in temperature and humidity that can cause tuning problems in wooden guitars.

Brad strives to be a professional on- and off-stage. He looks forward to making your event memorable and enjoyable!

Additional booking notes

Normal house lighting is fine for indoor gigs; able and willing to supply (rent) stage lighting upon request.

As a solo act I occupy a small area, typically 10-15 sq ft min with an additional 5 sq ft 'footprint' for each PA stand. The PA speakers can be quite close together (approx 8-10 ft) or separated further for better projection.
