Access to an outlet with extension cord for equipment. If the event takes place outdoors, a shaded area must be provided.
Any directions that will help us find the venue and find the right place to load in our equipment. We’d also need to be informed if there’s a sound limiter in the venue.
Yes, A.J. is self-contained and brings his own sound equipment.
Yes, we’re happy to play music from Spotify before, after and between our sets. We’re happy to choose the music ourselves or let the client choose the music.
I was a guest artist on Princess Cruise Lines and had the opportunity to play the main stage. It was an amazing experience!
The best venue I've gotten to play is the House of Blues in Orlando, Florida, USA. Amazing venue and amazing audience!
I love to play wedding ceremonies. It's always so special to be the person playing the bride down the aisle.
I have over 15 years of professional experience. I got my start with my family band, which included my two sisters and my brother. We toured the USA when we were teenagers.
We’re happy to play outside but we ask for shade, a flat level surface and a power supply close to the performance area.
With enough advanced notice, A.J. is happy to learn two to three new songs not on his repertoire list.
