July 24, 2024On behalf of Keystone Cooperative, we would highly recommend Brad McCord for your event! Brad performed during our company Sip 'n Shop event and wasn't afraid to engage with the audience. He was more than happy to accommodate with the song requests and his voice sounded great no matter the music genre! We look forward to having Brad at future events!

Every performance is tailored to fit your event and the energy of your guests. For cocktail hours and dinners, I provide clean, controlled background music that allows conversation while enhancing the atmosphere. As the event progresses, I can shift into more recognizable, upbeat songs to keep guests engaged without overpowering the setting.
I offer both relaxed, interpretive acoustic arrangements of familiar songs and more traditional, upbeat versions, adjusting as needed to match the flow of the event.
My goal is to provide a seamless, professional experience that complements your event from start to finish.
