I typically sing and play harmonica and guitar at my music engagements, including weddings, parties, and dinners. I can provide my own sound system (pair of 300 Watt Yorkville speakers and 6-channel powered mixer). I can easily play 4 hours of popular songs from a variety of genres such as folk, current pop, traditional country, and jazz, as well as some of my own compositions. I can also learn songs fairly quickly if enough notice is given.
