Great Music!

Hired Marty for a small dinner party. He was perfect for our needs. Very punctual despite heavy traffic and played music to match the vibes of the evening. Would definitely hire him again.

What to expect

Most audience members should walk away thinking about what they heard, perhaps chuckling here and there and most will be humming the songs they've heard.

About

Marty is a singer/songwriter/guitarist - with over fifty years of experience.
He sang lead for a Barbershop Quartet and backup vocals for a local cover band. The songs he plays (originals and covers) are family friendly and range from love songs to Americana ballads to quirky tunes. As a Diocesan Church musician, he is also capable in leading sing alongs.
His humor ranges from wry to eye rolling puns and he does enjoy connecting with the people he is playing for.
