Scott did a wonderful job talking to our students about the instrument and playing appropriate music. We would love to hear him perform in person. The sound quality came in and out, but we believe it was due to the bandwidth and the number of families we had on the zoom call. Overall, we were very pleased with having Scott provide music for our virtual family engagement.

He was great from start to finish. Excellent responsiveness and communication pre-event. Arrived early. Set up was fast. His playing was beautiful. Played for a post wedding day after brunch. Perfect music. I sprung a request to accompany me singing for 1 song at the last minute and he learned the chords on his break. Very nice person as well. Highly recommend.

We had no idea what we were doing and Scott helped us through the entire process. He performed music for our wedding ceremony. Not only is he extremely talented and professional, but he went out of his way to make sure he met all of our crazy requests. We HIGHLY recommend Scott!

What to Expect
From start to finish I pride myself on customer service and professionalism.
I will do whatever it takes to assist you in achieving success for your event.
I have been organizing and performing events for about 30 years. I will identify your needs and the best way facilitate with the least amount of impact to your event. Quick easy setups, the highest quality performance, quick easy take downs. The only thing you should remember at the end of the event is how enjoyable it was.
Musically we perform according to your timelines and your genre requests. I keep breaks to a minimum. I am there to entertain you and your guests to your expectation. Should changes occur during the event I am quick to respond and do what is necessary to assist you in achieving success.
About
I currently perform all types of events in the tri-state area and Canada. Between performances I am a studio musician, and composer. My primary instruments of choice these days are Guitar, Steel Drums, and Ukulele.
I started performing public events in the Cleveland area at the age of 15. Since then I have had the opportunity to play many on many stages big and small from Pennsylvania to Michigan and all through Ohio. I have appeared and performed live on local TV and radio shows.
When I am not performing I still take part in the event process by providing DJ and Photo Booth Service. Should you need an MC and DJ for a fund raiser, to any thing wedding related ask about our package pricing.
In addition to entertainment I also have a passion for technology. I design hardware and software for all industries.
Additional Booking Notes
Lighting and staging should be discussed as part of each event.
We do own our own lighting, staging and larger sound systems if needed. The use of any extra extra lighting, staging or AV should be discussed in the contract.

Influences & Inspiration
I am influenced by just about everything I hear. I grew up on rock from the 50's & 60's. Its hard not to be a guitar player and not be impacted by Hendrix and Van Halen. I went through the 80's metal through 90's grunge.
While those experiences are still a part of me today I focus on talent in other markets and identify what I can bring back to the ti-state markets.
Setup Requirements
One 110 electrical outlet at the performance location.
An area a minimum of 5'x5'. More space may be required depending on your performance requests.
