Highly recommended

Gary was very pleasant and patient for our crew. We hosted a Juneteenth event for the first time and of course there were hiccups, but Gary waited patiently. He also was helpful and other engaging our crowd and they were very happy. He has a great sense of humor also which added further engagement. We look forward to having Gary at our next event!!! Highly recommended.

Hired as: Country Singer, Singing Guitarist

About

Gary has been a part of the vibrant East Coast music scene for twenty five years now, since originating the Jimmy Buffett Tribute Band, B2B, with three friends in 1996. While still the frontman for the band, he began, in 2006, to branch out as an artist with his solo songwriting projects, culminating in the release of his first single, 'That's A Few Things...', in 2008, followed by his debut album effort, 'The Stories I Can Tell', in 2010. He continues to perform regularly, solo, throughout the Mid Atlantic, at local bistros, grills, national restaurant chains, and for private parties, corporate events, and benefits.
