About / Biography

I play weddings, special events, special birthdays, church gatherings, and services, corporate events, as well as wine festivals, both inside and outdoor venues without any restrictions. I've been playing over 60years. I have three CDs that are on Spotify, iHeart, Apple Music, YouTube, as well as many other platforms. I do not like to travel beyond 50 miles one way to get work. If I need to to travel beyond that, I have to charge for the hotel fee for the evening due to the fact that a long drive back in the evening is not the best option that I would like to pursue at this time. I have many great reviews. I have a promo video to promote my performances and availability as well as put People in contact with me which was created very professionally for the purpose that it now serves very effectively. I'm happy with it
