October 11, 2026Amazing Live Music for Our Housewarming Party!
We had Gregory perform at our housewarming party, and he was absolutely wonderful! He’s very talented, professional, and easy to communicate with. His music created the perfect atmosphere for our celebration, and we really enjoyed his performance. He was also very accommodating with our song requests. We’re so glad we booked him for our special day! Highly recommend Gregory for any event!

February 18, 2025Greg was perfect for our Valentine's Day party.
We hired Greg for entertainment for our Valentine's Day party. We are a supportive living facility for the older adult (65 & up) and they LOVED his performance. He was a perfect addition to a lovely day. Thank you Greg, hopefully we will see you again soon.

January 1, 2023Incredible, could not recommend enough!
Gregory was amazing. If you want to get people talking, hire him! I am still getting compliments after he played my wife’s birthday and blended perfectly with the party while wowing at the same time. He dressed up for the theme of the party, was early, and played non stop. Seriously, he was incredible! Thanks again Gregory!

What to expect
I pride myself on my professionalism - I always arrive early with plenty of time for set-up, load in, etc. I am trained as an audio engineer (I run my own project studio) and can handle all of my own sound needs, as well as interface with any on-site sound technicians to make sure the audio is of the highest quality we can achieve.
I can bring a high-energy, danceable acoustic show that gets people involved and singing along, or I can provide a laid-back ambience for an intimate mixer. I always focus on catering to the situation at hand, keeping my performance in line with the spirit and tone of the event.
I'm confident I can bring a level of entertainment, energy, and professionalism to any event that will surpass expectations.
