Excellent booking experience from beginning to end!

CJ was so easy to work with. He had great communication skills, he sounded amazing and even offered different lighting and microphone options for my event! You couldn’t ask for more! We are already having him back for my husband’s birthday!

About

CJ Brewer was born in Brooklyn, raised in Virginia, and moved to the Greenville, SC area in 2018 and became a professional performer shortly after. He's well-connected in the SC Upstate music scene and is known as the pick-up musician because he's one of the most requested fill-in performers when artists get sick or need to cancel shows. Dependable, professional, kind, and versatile, CJ's variety and musical knowledge pair well with any occasion. He mainly performs as a soloist, but his experience playing in bands over the last decade has led to an expansive setlist that includes everything from Queen and Elvis to Green Day and The Black Crowes.

Additional booking notes

If you can provide power within 30 ft. of the performance space, CJ can supply the rest! His equipment is streamlined, and his setup only takes an hour. His PA system is loud enough to echo across a lake but can also be tuned to a small, intimate venue.
