Overview

Looking for the perfect vibe?

I know how to get a crowd dancing and singing their hearts out but I also know how to set the mood for an intimate evening dinner. I will always select the music and tone that elevates your event and charms your guests.

I'm a singer, guitarist and drummer. I play with foot drums and a looper so people often tell me I sound like a whole band!. I love to play pop, rock, soul, country and all the timeless songs that you know and love. I'm always up for requests though, and I have over 800 songs in my repertoire.

Fantastic!

My expectations were blown away with this performance. I am a Life Enrichment Director for a senior living community so I have a lot of experience with booking entertainers and I must say I found a gem here. Kurt received rave reviews from our residents, guests, and staff for his performance. I will definitely be using him again! If you are on the fence, don't be and book him, you will not regret it!

Unforgettable Music That Made Our Event Shine

Kurt was the musician we hired for our meet-up event, and he did an outstanding job. He carefully followed all of my instructions and requirements, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. His performance was excellent—many guests mentioned that his music truly became the spark of the event. His talent and professionalism added the perfect touch, and I would gladly recommend him to anyone looking for live music that elevates the atmosphere.

Nice person, beautiful music

Kurt is a kind and talented musician. We had a back yard party and wanted some back ground music. Everyone at the party enjoyed the music. I want to have another party just so we have a reason to hire him. Great experience from the beginning. Good communication and reliable. He was the easiest part of the party and the most enjoyable part of the party.

Phenomenal Country Artist

Kurt was beyond our expectations. He was professional, arrived early and ready to go. His vocals were one of the best we’ve heard and sounds like she he should be touring with top artists. We works with a lot of big name artists and bands and he’s at the top of the list. We can’t wait to be able to book him again. Highly recommend!
