I play an array of spectacular music for any occasion on Violin.
This includes Classical, Pop, R&B, Blues, Country and more.
I have the availability to perform solo, acoustically; or I have a small speaker in which I can replicate a small string quartet on one Violin. I have performed many weddings, proposals and private parties this way.

October 24, 2024James turned the engagement proposal into a magical event with his beautiful music. James and his violin added just that extra special element to make that precious moment even more incredible. He was kind and willing to accommodate and even offered to learn a new song that we requested. (His rendition of You by Dan & Shay was just beautiful, btw) Thank you, James. We are so grateful to have found you.

July 18, 2023James' talent, professionalism and versatility were the perfect match for our 100+-person cocktail party at the Four Seasons in Vail, Colorado. His solo performance of classical music as both a stationary and strolling violinist on their mountain-view terrace established the mood of polished, relaxed charm we hoped for at our family's special occasion.

June 21, 2023My apologies for being tardy on this review.
I hired James for a second time to perform a small intimate gathering at my home. As always he, arrived early, and had an affable demeanor. James is open and willing to work on a playlist with you in a reasonable amount of time. Once, again we enjoyed the Irish and freestyle preludes which were accompanied by a short story of where it origins are from.
My closely acquainted neighbors were pleased with having such a setting. They danced, laughed and sang to some of the music that was played.
James is a professional in his interactions and communication. We do hope to see James in the future should, he wish to play for us again.
Thank you James!!!!!!

A solo concert on Violin consisting of an array of different genres.
Hello my name is James, and I play various instruments to provide a full band show, in a one person act. After years of performing in different groups I have combined all of my talents. This provides me the freedom of learning any song that I or the client pleases. I play a wide array of genres, sure to please any crowd. Whether it be a 4th of July party or a wedding, I got both Johnny Cash and Bach Violin Sonatas to back it up.
There are no technical requirements.

These are songs that clients choose for their ceremony.. I can play classical music while people are walking in, or a variety of these songs listed above.
For Cocktail hours I typically perform a selection of backing tracks while I improvise, or I can also add some songs listed previously or mix it up with more classical. I also perform fiddle tunes of various genres(Celtic,Bluegrass, Old Time) If that peaks your interest. There are some tunes that may not be listed here that I perform such as Ave Maria, La Vie En Rose, and such...
And if there are any songs that aren't on here that you'd like me to play, please let me know,
I am very excited to perform for you!!!
Jascha Heifetz, Lyndsay Stirling, Johnny Cash, Mozart, Elvis, Bob Dylan, Bob Marley, The Dubliners and much more...
This is dependent on the show.
