Q. Why did you become a professional musician?
A. I became a professional musician to do something I loved and to make people happy. It is very rewarding to provide a service that brings a smile to someone’s face and helps make a joyous occasion (wedding, anniversary, birthday or other celebration) better. And for the occasional somber or low-key occasion, to help console or soothe someone in more difficult times.
Q. Where are you located?

Q. Do you travel?
A. Yes, we typically travel within a 2 hour radius from the Charlotte area.

A. Aside from our talents as performers, I like to believe our greatest assets are our flexibility and professionalism. We have the ability to adjust to nearly any type of event, audience or venue through our expansive songlist and scaleable lineup.
Q. Do you have the capability of providing your own sound & lights?
A. Yes, we have the ability to provide both.
