Whatever your event, from an intimate party, to a corporate convention, let me help you make it memorable.
In my 20+ year career, I've performed at numerous weddings, private and corporate events, museum openings, film festivals, and special occasions, from the west coast to the east, as well as internationally.
My repertoire is extensive, encompassing standards, contemporary tunes, jazz, Latin/bossa nova, Americana, European (gypsy) swing, some classical, and even a few originals, on acoustic, electric, and steel string guitar. Google me to find my website, and you'll be able to listen to a number of recordings showing my range as a soloist, a one-man band, and a bandleader .

December 16, 2021We hired Alex to play background music (a mix of jazz and holiday tunes) at our agency holiday party. It was the perfect addition to the atmosphere and we received a ton of positive feedback about him. Will definitely hire him for future events.

August 7, 2021Alex was absolutely perfect. He immediately understood the mood I was trying to create for my backyard neighborhood party. He arrived early and was super flexible. (He even helped identify a playlist to put on while he was setting up.) The music that he played for well over two hours was awesome and totally made the party. The PA system also amplified beautifully across my double lot. I'm so happy I hired him, I would hire him again in a millisecond. He's a super talented.

Because I want to be sure that the music creates the perfect ambience for your unique event, I tailor performances to your venue and preferences. If there are specific tunes you'd like to hear, don't feel you're restricted to any song list. Just give me the song titles, and I'll incorporate them into the set.
In my 20+ year career as a guitarist, I’ve played almost every type of music—jazz, blues, rock, funk, Latin, contemporary, Americana, gypsy swing—with hundreds of noted musicians and bands, including the legendary Kenny Drew Jr., Twinkle, Harmonious Wail, and the Motet.
And I’ve played just about every type of venue imaginable: clubs, theaters, festivals, private parties, wedding ceremonies and receptions, Broadway touring companies—you name it—from the west coast to the east, as well as internationally.
While guitar is my main instrument, I’m also proficient on bass and banjo, and even play a little trumpet, drums, and keyboards when the mood strikes.
Originally from New York, I have a degree in Guitar Performance from UC Denver, and credits toward a Masters in Jazz Studies at UT Austin, where I attended on full scholarship.

All I need is an electrical outlet within 15 ft of the stage. I have the rest.
