Professional and easy to work with!

Chris was extremely professional and accommodating to our needs. He signed on to play two songs at our wedding, which was during the most recent storm. As a bride having to replan the entire ceremony within the course of the week - from location to a new time - Chris' calm and flexibility was a huge asset. His work was also beautiful and exactly what we were looking for in our ceremony. I highly recommend Chris!

About

I am a classically trained trumpeter with three music degrees from major universities: North Dakota State University (B.M.), University of Texas at Austin (M.M.), and the University of Georgia (D.M.A.). I also have much experience playing jazz and pop music. I have held positions in regional orchestras and soloed with numerous bands and orchestras. From Taps at a service, to hymns at a church, to easy listening jazz, to Trumpet Voluntary at weddings, I am happy to play at any event.
