Very Talented

Jordan was easy to communicate with. We had a very small wedding and he was on time and played beautifully. All of our guests commented on how he made a wonderful touch. He can play beatles, wind earth and fire, and of course traditional classical. He is very talented and I would highly recommend him for any special occasion!

Highly Recommended, professional and talented musician.

Excellent performance! Jordan performed for our adult birthday party this weekend. He was communicative before the event and promptly answered questions. He even offered to learn specific songs for the event. He was on time, professional and very talented. His performance was enjoyed by all. I would highly recommend Jordan and wouldn't hesitate to hire him again.

I really enjoyed playing for you all at such a special event! You were a very lively crowd and fun people to talk to. Joe you have been one of the best people I have worked with on GigSalad because of your understanding nature and interest in the music. Thank you for bringing me in to play and I hope to meet again in the future (Or see you play bass)!

Professional and Talented

Jordan arrived on time and did a fantastic job playing cello at our wedding ceremony. He entertained the guests with pieces that he chose before the ceremony started, and learned a piece that we requested for "walking down the aisle". His timing between songs worked perfectly, pausing at the right moments for emotional effect. Highly recommend.

Inventive and evocative

Jordan takes what has come and pushes it into new artistic territory. He's clearly not content to perfect others' work. Nor is he content with using instruments conventionally. Jordan brilliantly combines classical, pop, r&b, rap, and, for all I know, country in ways that are beautiful, thought-provoking and even wry.

Price range: Starts at $500

What to expect

Clients can expect a varied musical atmosphere built around acoustic cello or electric cello, live looping, effects, and beats.

I perform but not limited to music influenced by R&B, soul, hip-hop, jazz, pop, and original music, and can tailor the performance for anything from background atmosphere to a featured set.
I can provide sound for many events, and can also arrange a duo, trio, string ensemble, or custom group when a larger sound is desired.
