Q. Why did you become a professional musician?
A. One of my favorite feelings is the euphoria that happens when a song grabs me, demands my attention, and wraps me up in the moment. I love how it can happen anywhere and at any time. It can be experienced alone in the comfort of one’s home or in the car. It can also bring people together. As a professional musician, I experience this euphoria while I’m performing, but I think the great honor is in being able to provide this feeling for other people.
Q. Where are you located?
A. Charlotte, NC.
Q. Do you travel?
A. Yes; I’m willing to travel anywhere in the country.
Q. Why should an event professional book you?
A. Between myself and my band members, we have decades of professional experience playing festivals, weddings, corporate events, and private/public events. With that experience comes confidence, and I’m quite confident in myself and my team of players to meet the needs of the client. We’re familiar with the way events are run, yet we’re willing and ready to adapt when things don’t quite go as expected. Ultimately, what any client will be getting when they book me (and my band) is an individual or group of people who love to play music and love to play with each other. That is something that guests will notice, and that infectious, joyous energy will go to making a successful event.
Q. Do you have the capability of providing your own sound & lights?
A. Yes.
