I'm a crooner in the Old School way, but I cover everything from the 40's through the latest releases. If you like songs from Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Bobby Vinton, Tom Jones, Sammy Davis, Bobby Caldwell, Michael Bublé, Andrea Bocelli, Bruno Mars and everything in between, then I'm your guy.
I'm available for weddings, retirements, corporate events, private parties and just about any special event. Since I'm a solo singer, my rates and space requirements are very reasonable.

I cover songs in the style of old and new style crooners- think of hits from Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Nat King Cole, Bobby Vinton and Michael Buble to Blood, Sweat and Tears, Elvis Presley, The Doors, Andrea Bocelli and Bruno Mars. Depending on the venue and\or event, I dress in a traditional tuxedo or appropriate suit.
I like my audiences to remember good times, romantic times and have fun doing it. Some of my music will evoke memories of special moments and some of my music will inspire and excite people to get up and dance. I like to intermingle and engage with my audience, sometimes friendly "interviewing" or eliciting funny experiences and sometimes encouraging them to sing with me.
I retired in 2005 after a twenty-seven year career in Law Enforcement and moved from Illinois to New Mexico in 2006. I couldn't sit around for long, so I decided to do some overseas contract work, my first in Afghanistan in 2007. Then I did the same in Africa and then two more stints in Afghanistan.
When I was still living in Illinois I did some background acting for the History Channel and several independent filmmakers. After moving to New Mexico and "retiring" for the second time, I got involved in local theater and landed my first performance in the play, Marjorie Prime. Since then I have been involved with several other productions with the Silver City Community Theater and a yearly Shakespeare production known locally as "DitchSpeare" as we perform acts from Shakespeare plays in our town's "Big Ditch" park. I was also the Karaoke DJ for several years at one of our local pub\restaurants.
Recently I decided to re-invent myself once again as a solo-singer for events, as I seem to have developed an affinity and talent to sing and have a good time doing it.
I am a solo singing act and I use backing tracks for accompaniment. I would need enough room and line power to set up two p.a. speakers with stands, mic stand and computer and mixer. If performing outside, I would require some form of overhead cover from the sun.
I will not perform at venues that allow the use of cannabis on the premises.

There is no special equipment that I would require other than a seasonally appropriate environment in which to perform. If outdoors, I would require adequate environmental protection from the weather elements
