What to expect

We work with you on the set you desire. We are the perfect group to hire for weddings, private parties, and wineries. We can play anything from Jazz standards to Pop and Rock covers. If there is a special song to the party, we want to perform it for you. Music transports you to a new place and is attached to so many memories. My favorite task is to work with the client to curate a musical experience that you and your guests will love. Whether that means being more in the background or being the main stage source of entertainment. We are a small group of 3 - 4 musicians depending on the needs of the client. We are reliable, passionate, professional, and all love what we do. We hope to provide music for your next event.

About

I've been singing professionally for 20 years. I've been hired to sing at a wide range of events. From the national anthem at sporting events to customized playlists at wedding ceremonies and receptions. I love to sing all genres. For example, I am also in a rock/funk/blues band that performs original music. I specialize in curating a set that is meaningful to the client. We talk about the role you need me to play. For example, Jazz standards that transition into danceable covers later in the night.

Additional booking notes

We have a small PA, Bass amp, Microphone, and cords for our instruments to plug into these amplifiers. If it is a large even, we will charge for renting speakers or we would require the venue to have speakers and monitors.
