Lowell Ringel

When you hire me and my band, you can expect professionalism and musical excellence. We will always be at your event early, dressed appropriately and ready to play when you desire. Musically, we can take either a more featured role or step into the background to create an enjoyable ambiance for all attendees. If you desire background music, we would take care to not stand out, but simply to play entertaining music for the patrons at your event. We can also take a more featured role if you desire, playing jazz standards and songs from the American Songbook in many styles. All of our songs will groove and provide a pleasant addition to the event. Our goal is to make your event as successful as possible, and provide a satisfying listening experience for everyone.

We need space to play but other than that we will provide all of our own equipment. We also will need access to electricity (we do have extension cords) in most situations, although depending on the requested instrumentation this may not be true.
