Wonderful variety, exactly what we wanted

Roger was the perfect addition to our event, a professional with a great sound and repertoire, needing minimal support for getting up and running. Everything was nicer for his performance, and he has a wonderful positive personality to boot!

What to expect

Roger shows up at least 30 min. early to set up. Setting up takes 10 min. Roger brings his own acoustic guitar amp which is a high quality way to fill a large room with warm sound yet takes very little space and is easy to move around to suit the need.
Roger only requires an armless chair and access to power.
Roger is able to change location in room quickly to suit,for example be in entrance during cocktails and move to hall during dinner.
The music is both soft to allow conversation or more dynamic to create excitement.
If a hardwood stage is available Roger can provide one or two flamenco dancers.
