June 3, 2024Tom played for my residents and prospects at Huntley Springs. He was very professional from start to finish. Shortly after booking Tom, he set up an appointment with me to visit. He wanted to see the space and talk about what our expectations were. Tom is the first entertainer that has ever done that. His communication was great between his visit and the event. He arrived early and had all of his own equipment. He is completely self-sufficient which as a very busy Lifestyle Director is greatly appreciated! Tom played the guitar beautifully and talked a little about the history of each song. The residents loved him and his music. He took time after his performance to listen to the residents individually and answer any questions that they had. Within an hour after his performance was finished, I had already received a very professional thank you email. Brilliant!! Best service I have ever had from an entertainer! I highly recommend Tom!

Audience: Partnering with me guarantees your audience enjoys familiar, easy-to-listen-to tunes. For my 90’s and 2000’s music I focus on the standards that everyone knows and loves. Singing and adding looping effects are used to ensure your guests truly enjoy their experience. Plus, I'm versatile; I can provide brief insights or even take on the role of an MC if necessary and engage your guests with engaging stories and entertainment.
Client: Entrusting your event to me ensures seamless execution. With years of experience in entertainment, I prioritize meeting your expectations. Before your event, we'll sit down to align our visions. I prefer walking through the venue to ensure I have all the necessary equipment. Arriving well in advance, I meticulously set up to guarantee a smooth experience. Throughout the event, I'll serenade your guests with captivating jazz or pop tunes, accommodating any special song requests that are made prior to the event. I'm mindful of volume levels, ensuring it complements rather than overwhelms your event. Afterward, I discreetly tidy up my performance area, respecting the ongoing proceedings. My ultimate aim? Your satisfaction and a seamless collaboration. I thrive on serving and delight in sharing my music with your guests.
I deeply appreciate your interest in getting to know more about me. Music has been my faithful companion for over two decades, with guitar being a primary instrument for the past twenty years.
My journey began with a Bachelor's Degree in Music Education from Augusta College, which laid the foundation for my diverse roles as a band director, private lesson teacher, and entertainer. These experiences have not only honed my musical abilities but have also instilled in me a profound understanding of how to engage and delight audiences.
For the past couple of years, I've had the privilege of serving as a worship guitarist at my local church. It's been an enriching experience to strum chords and lead melodies in front of congregations exceeding a thousand people, at least twice a month. This platform has been invaluable in nurturing both my musical skills and my confidence in performing before large audiences.
I am passionate about infusing every event with the same joy and energy that music has brought into my life. Your event is an opportunity for me to share my craft and create unforgettable moments for your audience.
