What to expect
For guitar, I have setlists for the following applications:
Jazz (Think Frank Sinatra, Duke Ellington, and The Great American Songbook)
Popular (Beatles, Stevie Wonder, Journey, Elvis, 80's music and more)
Hymns as well as Traditional Wedding Songs (Canon in D, Prelude from Cello Suite #1 by Bach).
I do play Acoustic guitar and not electric, so it's a quieter pure sound. I usually play Business Dinners and Weddings for solo guitar.
If you are looking for banjo-you get either bluegrass, more sophisticated mountainous sounds or lastly, popular music played on the banjo.
I do have my own sound system for crowds above 75 people..
About
The highlights of my career include performing acoustic guitar and banjo on the stages of Carnegie Hall, The Grand Ole Opry and The Ryman Auditorium. I've performed at weddings and private events all over the Southeastern United states for the last 12 years, everything from mountain weddings to country clubs. In addition to performing full-time, I maintain a schedule of about twenty students a week in my studio.
