I play solo a broad range of popular music ranging from Sinatra classics to Beatles and Johnny Cash, up to Sting and Norah Jones on acoustic guitar - guaranteed to be enjoyable for a wide range of audiences and ages. I perform either "instrumental only” format, or guitar with vocals for a more upbeat vibe.

July 30, 2023We threw a 60s-era murder mystery party for my wife's birthday. I am so glad we had Stan there to provide the music. He's personable, incredibly talented, and elevated the entire affair (with a lot going on around him). I cannot recommend him strongly enough to anyone who needs live music for an occasion. We were simply delighted and will surely call on him again. Thanks Stan!

July 1, 2022Stan was very professional, stayed in contact through the process to confirm details, arrived on time and played the whole time. We had a variety of ages attending and he played songs everyone liked and took many requests! I would definitely hire him again.

February 8, 2022We had a small get together for my husbands birthday. Stan came out and played acoustic (in the freezing cold…sorry Stan) regardless he was AMAZING!!! We all enjoyed having him there. Not only a fantastic musician but a very cool guy. Thanks again Stan!!!! We look forward to having you play again. I promise our next get together to be a warmer one :)

Very professional, experienced and mature solo artist and bandleader. If I am not right for your event, I will let you know!
Stan has been inextricably drawn to good music since watching the Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show as a child on Feb. 9, 1964. He has studied music at Univ. Of MD and George Mason University, and has been performing solo and with bands at clubs, restaurants and private events in the Mid-Atlantic full time since 2008. Stan has also played rock ‘n roll in Boston and jazz in Mexico City. With his guitar, baritone voice and a catalogue of many of the best songs of our times, Stan “breaks the barrier between performance and audience.”
Just internet search me or my bands and you will see all the happy clients/events we have done!
