July 7, 2025Absolutely the best!
I highly recommend Carbo for your next event. He is great, everyone had a blast at our BBQ party. We were hosting a fundraising and without event discussing this with Carbo, he made sure he promoted our raffle that was taking place. His voice is amazing and the playlist he performed was outstanding! Thank you Carbo for your honesty and professionalism. We will def be reaching out again for our next event!

What to expect
Carbo offers an extensive set list that can be tailored to fit the event. He has a small profile and can set up anywhere within 50 feet of an electrical outlet. While Carbo likes to arrive early to troubleshoot any issues, he can be set up and ready to play in less than 20 minutes.
Carbo is easy to work with and will go the extra mile to assure your guests have a great time. He is very approachable and will often converse with the customers in between sets. Carbo has allowed guests (within reason) to sing songs and loves interacting with them.
About
Carbo is a dynamic solo acoustic performer, delivering an electrifying mix of original compositions spanning three decades and iconic cover songs from the 1950s to modern hits by artists like Weezer, P!nk, Daft Punk, Stick Figure, and Green Day. His musical style encompasses Oldies, Rock, Punk, Alternative, and Reggae, drawing inspiration from legends such as Queen, Bob Marley, Pink Floyd, and Radiohead.
A regular highlight at the Ocean Club Hotel's vibrant poolside Tiki Bar, Carbo graced the stage every Monday from June through September between 2021 and 2023, captivating audiences with his soulful melodies and infectious energy. He also headlined both days of the highly acclaimed 2022 Delaware Taco Festival, leaving crowds cheering for more.
Beyond his coastal residencies, Carbo has played renowned venues including The Barefoot Bar, Exit Zero, The Red Brick Ale House, and Harry's in Cape May. Additionally, Carbo was one of the featured performers at the Willow Creek Winery in West Cape May, New Jersey for the summer of 2024. Venturing further, he has rocked stages at Surf Dog in Woodbine and Levari's in Tuckahoe, NJ, while also making waves throughout Southeastern PA, from the lively streets of Philly to Swarthmore, Eagleville, Perkiomenville, Lansdale, Hatboro, and Milmont Park. Wherever Carbo performs, his passion for music and talent shine through, leaving a lasting impression on all who experience his unforgettable performances.
Additional booking notes
Carbo only requires an electrical outlet within 50 feet of the stage area. In the event of an outdoor venue, he prefers to play in a covered location. However, as long as the weather is good (no precipitation) he can play just about anywhere there is power.
Carbo provides basic lighting to enhance the customer experience.

All I need is an outlet! I can fit almost anywhere and I can be fully set-up and ready for soundcheck in 20 minutes.
