Awesome party performers

Brian was super. He hit us with a killer set list in advance and asked us what we did and didn’t want to hear. Everyone loved him. I’d use him in a hearbeat again! Great musical headliner!!

Hired as: Multi-Instrumentalist, One Man Band, Singing Guitarist, Soundtrack Composer

Gig length: 10 - 240 minutes

What to expect

The audience can expect to see a fun and energetic personality on stage, mesmerized while I loop beatbox, guitar, bass, and piano into a song that seems familiar but they can't quite place. As I quickly and effortlessly start singing the song they realize "Of course, I knew it was Katy Perry!"

Being a music professional for twenty years has given me the ability to read a room and provide the proper songs from an extensive setlist. Whether that calls for funky dance music, Disney soundtrack songs, or classic 90's cuts you forgot you loved, the room always dictates the vibe.

My time in the industry has also developed into a clear understanding of the vibe of the event, making sure the scheduling goes exactly as planned, being radically prepared for the gig, and generally being an easy-going person to work with.

I'm new to Gig Salad, but have played many private events and weddings, often serving as a musical wedding planner.

If you have a grand, fun idea and need help pulling it off, I'm your guy.
