"Move" at my Master's Recital
This is from a wedding I played with my group in Tulsa, OK.
This is from a performance with the UNC Lab 1 Jazz Ensemble.
This is from a gig I did in my undergrad at a coffee house in Tahlequah, OK.
Overview
I have been a working musician for over 10 years and have led bands for about half of that. I hold an undergraduate degree from Northeastern State University in Tahlequah, OK, and a master's degree from the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley, CO. I can book a group as small as a trio and as large as an octet. I also have experience playing in country bands, variety show bands, and wedding bands so whatever you need at your event, I will happily supply it!

March 9, 2025Great band - highly recommend!
We had the pleasure of booking Chris Peters Collective for our corporate event, and they exceeded all expectations! From start to finish, they were incredibly professional, easy to work with, and highly communicative, making the planning process seamless.
Their sound was absolutely phenomenal—smooth, sophisticated, and the perfect blend of energy and elegance for our event. They set the tone beautifully, keeping our guests engaged while allowing for great conversation.
If you're looking for a talented, polished, and professional jazz band to elevate your event, look no further than these guys. We would book them again in a heartbeat! Highly recommended!

What to expect
Hiring my group means hiring only the best. When I am the band leader, we are starting right on time with very limited chatter between tunes. When I am given an itinerary, we can follow it to a "t" with the ability to be flexible. The music during the service will also never linger and can be either the center of attention of a nice backdrop.

Additional booking notes
No technical requirements necessary. We will be mainly acoustic and will bring sound as needed. If I need a singer, I will have them bring a PA.
