Hi Folks, I offer many styles of Music(Rock/Reggae to Traditional Jazz), and i am usually a preferred "Solo" style for your event. I can also arrange a duo, trio or quartet, depending on event, and what is needed. I also provide DJ services. I prefer you make up your tailored mix, i also have access to a DJ computer. I have a professional PA for both music and DJ events. This consists of a Mackie PA with Carvin or Powered Mackies. I have been playing full time gigs since 1988. Styles include Classic/Modern Rock, Traditional Jazz, Blues, Reggae, and Caribbean style covers. I have a good variety of music to choose from for live music events, over 1000 rock/blues/reggae tunes, and 100 Jazz.

What to expect

What to expect is a Professional Package. I(we) expect to show up in plenty of time to set up. I have been playing full time gigs since the high school and college days (1988), and as i ve gotten older , I see the need each day to keep the professionalism. i also keep in mind the reason why I (we) are there. That is simply to entertain, and have fun. Whether it is Solo Acoustic, a Jazz trio, or a DJ event, I feel the need to be 100% professional. Entertainment is available from SOLO , DUO, TRIO, or Quartet. DJ services are provided solo or duo depending on the need. I also expect serious inquiries only please, i am flexible to travel for events, and i can give u a descent price, but i am big on communication. So please contact me if you are ready to commit to a date . Thank You Ziggy

About

Ziggy has been playing w/ various bands since high school,1988. Ziggy had played w/ reggae band "One", and opened for national act "Dennis brown" in the 90's. Also, Ziggy had played w blues band "Sol Kitchen" and opened up for national act "38 Special" in the 90's. In 1994 Ziggy lived in LA, and went to Audio school, learning on million dollar mixing consoles. During this time, he met and jammed with the 4th beastie boy.
Ziggy has been playing his solo show since 2000, and has played locally, the tri-state area(PA, DE, and NJ.) He has also played solo outside the local area, including, Ocean City MD, The Delaware Beaches, Niagara falls ((phone number hidden)0 ft from the falls @ a place called Wine on third), and the Bronx NY. When playing w Reggae band, "One", Ziggy had played at the finger lakes in NY, and the Bob Marley festivals in DE. When playing with blues band, "Sol Kitchen", Ziggy had played some Phila clubs including Doc Watsons, and the local scene in Chester county. Ziggy currently does solo/duo and trio gigs every month, usually dozen shows or more per month, with a list of 900 songs for his solo shows. Duo and trio shows are always mixed up so the same show is not overdone. Currently 2016 Ziggy is contracted @ 8 Bahama Breeze Locations, when deck season is open. Those locations are Kop, PA. Princeton NJ Cherry Hill NJ Woodbridge NJ Wayne NJ Paramus NJ Toms River NJ Newark DE. This is my Specialty show, I make The Audience, and I feel like we are on vacation. What a Blast!

Additional booking notes

I(we) supply a professional PA System. I have a Masters degree in sound engineering from LA Recording workshop, in Hollywood CA. I(we) try to get the best sound for the room available. Keep in mind ambient rooms will not be the best scenario for sound according to the sound engineer, but we EQ the best we can for the room.
