Overview

I am a multi-instrumentalist.
I play cocktail piano for parties, receptions, and events. I add an elegant touch to jazz standards and show tunes from the 20s, 30s, 40s, and 50s, as well as easy listening pop selections from the 60s, 70s, and 80s. I also play ragtime.
I play organ and sing for church services/Masses, weddings, and funerals.
I play saxophone, trumpet, trombone, baritone, and French horn, can play solo for an event, and I can sight read if needed in a combo.
I play banjo and accordion. I do flat picking, which is New Orleans style. I can play banjo with Dixieland bands and also do solo work. Since I read music I can play for orchestra pits for musical theater shows.
