Hey! I'm a violinist with 25 years of experience and has been part of the Tampa Bay Symphony, Sarasota Pops Orchestra, Georgia Symphony Orchestra, and more. I also perform electric violin in the a band, The Button Smashers. Aside from my band, I have performed with other punk/rock/country bands, and string quartets all over the South East as a contract musician. My genres/repertoire include: classical, bluegrass, jazz, pop, top 40's, holiday music, rock, punk, and more.
I have experience performing for weddings, funerals, receptions, corporate events, and comic conventions. I can also dress in costume while I play, in whatever theme you want!

You can expect me to play any genre for any event. Once we connect, we can discuss what music you want to be played. I can read sheet music, chord charts, and can play by ear. If no sheet music is provided and you would just like me to play various songs as background music that can be done too. I have a very wide range of genres that I can play and I can improv play as well. Genres I have played for past events include:
- Classical
- Holiday music
- Bluegrass
- Top 40's
- Rock
- Jazz
- Movie themes
- And more!
Tabs is a multi-instrumentalist and performer whose musical journey began in 1999 at the age of six. A classically trained violinist and pianist, Tabs’ early career was marked by high-level orchestral leadership, serving as Concertmaster and a member of the Georgia Youth Symphony Orchestra (GYSO). In 2010, this dedication culminated in a prestigious solo performance at Carnegie Hall.
After refining her craft at Lee University with a dual focus on Music and Film, Tabs relocated to Florida, becoming a fixture in the regional circuit as a performer and music educator. She has performed with the Sarasota Pops Orchestra, Tampa Bay Symphony, Classical Revolution St Pete, USF Opera, and more. Beyond the concert hall, Tabs is a sought-after professional for weddings, memorials, retirement communities, assisted living homes, comic cons, and corporate events. She has also performed sea shanties as a pirate for Royal Conquest Pirate Cruises at John's Pass, performed as a violin wench for Renaissance Faires, was sponsored by Zynga Games to create violin and costume content for their mobile game Merge Dragons, and was a Tampa Bay Comic Con entertainer paid to dress as a Pokemon while playing violin to attract crowds.
Fun Fact: A true "Swiss Army Knife" of music, Tabs plays 15 different instruments and fronts the ska band The Button Smashers as a lead vocalist, pianist, and violinist. She also has a Daytime Emmy that was awarded for her editing work during her film career in 2019.
I have an acoustic violin and an electric. I have my own stand, cables, and amp that I can bring along.
