Overview
The first thing I can guarantee for your event is a good time. I play a mix of 60s, 70s, 80s & 90s pop. You will hear hits from Elvis, the Beatles, Simon & Garfunkel, Elton John, Billy Joel, Jim Croce, Queen, The Rolling Stones, Jimmy Buffet(or not, you decide)...
I have entertained thousands of people touring with bands all over the US. I enjoy connecting with an audience and making people laugh, getting them to dance and creating fun memories.

Geoffrey was absolutely amazing! Not only a talented musician, but also incredibly professional—he brought all his own gear, set up + clean up seamlessly, and made our event so special. We asked for family-friendly hits and classics, and he went above and beyond. We highly recommend him!

It went ok...it was kind of hard for Geoffrey to engage as people were scattered all over the boat.
He did a great job trying to mingle around.

It was a challenging gig. Having set up by the bar and then everyone moving downstairs near the (very loud) engines for dinner, and then moving everyone to the upper deck meant having to leave all my equipment and stroll without amplification. Still, working table to table and playing the many requests from the guests was fun, and I enjoyed interacting with everyone. It's always interesting to go into unknown situations with lots of variables and see how to make them work best for the audience.

What to expect
I am a very gregarious and outgoing person. I tend to engage my audiences with banter and jokes and generally enjoy giving them what they want to hear. I have been joined onstage by audience members at times to sing along with me. The nature of my act is to have fun with party-goers. I have learned specific songs upon request and am glad to adjust the era/genre of music to fit your needs.
About
I have been performing music for over thirty years. Music has been a part of my life since they stuck me in church choir at the age of three. Since then my taste in music has expanded to include not only the gospel of my roots, but also Motown, Folk, Early Music, and Rock & Roll.
I have traveled all over the US performing with the Celtic bands, The Dregs, The Brogues, Wine Woman & Song, and the Rock & Roll band, The Lost Boys. I also play in a duet with fellow musician Robin Conama playing music from the 1900s - the 1960s.
My solo act includes a mix of 60s, 70s, 80s & 90s pop hits from Simon & Garfunkel, The Del Shannons, Elvis, Elton John, Billy Joel, Jim Croce, Queen, Bon Jovi, The Indigo Girls & They Might Be Giants.
Additional booking notes
I am able to provide my own sound rig for small gigs. This includes a one-person P/A system that you are welcome to use for announcements and such. This rig is perfect for restaurants, small meeting spaces, a smaller ballroom or a garden party. I would recommend getting a larger rig for large ballrooms or large outside venues. I can consult with clients to determine their needs and if my rig will be sufficient.
