I am a jazz guitarist who plays solo, duo, trio, quartet and more that is available for all sorts of events, with material that ranges from jazz standards, pop and rock covers, classic country songs and classical pieces.
I work either solo or in a duo, trio, quartet or quintet, depending on the client's needs and budget.

June 5, 2017Chris did an excellent job playing music at my milestone birthday party. The music was great and he is a very professional musician. He arrived early, set up promptly and played beautifully. I would certainly use him again.

August 24, 2016Chris and his band played an awesome set. No vocals just one long jam session. Our customers loved that they played many different types of music rather than just one genre. We will definitely be bringing them back!

You have several options when hiring me and it all depends on the event, venue, budget, etc.

2.Duo with bass or vocals
(link hidden)io: bass and drums; bass and vocals; bass and another instrument: piano, trumpet, sax, etc.
4.Quartet: the standard format of guitar, bass and drums with another instrument or vocalist.
5.Quintet: A quartet formation +1
Typical gigs for me range between solo to trio format.
I have been playing guitar professionally close to 30 years focusing primarily on jazz in and around the Charlotte region. Gigs have ranged from solo guitar to duo and trio; quartet and quintet; with and without vocals. The material I play ranges from jazz standards to pop and rock tunes. The emphasis for me is being in the moment and trying to create something new and exciting every time I play. Hopefully for the listener that comes across in the music. Restaurants, bars, convention halls, etc. I have played every type of venue under all sorts of conditions: weddings, corporate parties, private parties, and always strive to bring my best to the client.
Because the music I play is instrumental I don't require a sound system or PA at any of my gigs. If a vocalist was requested then a PA would be required. Lighting is not a big deal either. The only thing I request is that in the event of an outdoor gig, particularly when the weather is hot, is that there be a tent covering the band.
