I provide a romantic and pleasant ambience, musically. I provide either background melodies for the post-wedding/pre-dinner socializing period, or concert situations with solo, duo, trio or up. The romantic sounds of people like Irving Berlin, Rodgers and Hart, George and Ira Gershwin, Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, Doris Day, Rosemary Clooney, etc., are what I perform, in general, but I happily take requests from several decades, up to the 80's. I have performed for several actual wedding ceremonies, as well. I also write my own music and have released six CDs, so I am open to, and would love to play, a set of my original material (in the soft pop/folk vein) at any venue that may host singer/songwriter events.
I am a professional singer/pianist/songwriter, with many wonderful years of experience on the Toronto club/ wedding/ private and corporate functions scene. I have worked as a solo act, duo, as The Patricia Duffy Trio, etc. and up to 18-piece big bands, including the superb Hurricanes Dance Band, with which I have been the vocalist for several years. I also have a musical theatre background, having played Anne in "Anne of Green Gables", among many other shows. I look forward to providing both soft and lively light jazz standards, classic pop and/or light classical music as the elegant ambiance for your next event!
I have no stage, sound or lighting requirements.

I am self-contained, with all of my own equipment. However, I would love and appreciate it if there were a piano or quality keyboard on site.
