great guitarist for surprise event for sister

Pete did a great job singing for my sister's birthday surprise serenade. He created a good list of her favorite songs to have ready, he got to the gig early, and he was flexible enough to go with the flow and play acoustic instead of electric guitar in the end. I would highly recommend him.

Hired as: Guitarist

What to expect

MUSICAL
With decades of experience my services includes guitar, bass, vocals lead & background, keyboards playing most forms of rock/pop from the late ‘50s to the modern era. Guitar driven rock is the foundation, piano based yacht/soft rock is a keen current interest.

VISUAL
Classic rock and roll look that can go Sunset Strip to Beatles of the 60’s, classic rock icons of the 70s and 80s [think Jimmy Page, Joe Perry, Eddie Van Halen, Slash), to Nashville 2019. I can look hard rock or clean cut. What do you need?

Dependent on your event needs I can accommodate from 1-3, 50 minute sets that include easy listening background music to entertainment focused performance.

Professionalism and punctuality are paramount to my presentation.

About

I have been playing music since 1975, and performing since 1985. My current focus is something I call 'AquaRock' - peaceful piano interpretations of my favorite songs of all time. I love to take requests and have been known to do that all night long. I have quite an extensive repertoire of music in my head. And any song I don't know now, I can learn on the break.

I hope to hear from you soon!
