The best gig I have ever done was playing at the Glastonbury Music festival in 1999. It was an audience of 150,000 people. It is one of the largest music festivals in the history of the planet Earth.
An outdoor music festival is the most rewarding experience that you can ever participate in as a creative musician.
I have been a musician my whole life.. My first serious gigs were with the Albert "Tootie" Heath Quintet, (I was 19 years old) followed by more work with many historical jazz figures.
My musical influences include Charlie Parker, Ludwig Van Beethoven, John Coltrane, Jimi Hendrix and many others....... There are several greatest songs of all time : "Koko, Beethoven's 7th Symphony, Transition, Little Wing" are four of the greatest .....
Typical set up times are between Noon and 10PM. Performances last normally from 45 minutes to 6 hours. We play between 1 to 5 x 45 minute sets.
We are happy to perform outside as long as proper shading / sheltering has been set up. We prefer not to play in the exposed sunlight as it is bad for some of the equipment.
Clients can make requests up to three weeks before the performance time for a charge of $75 per request.
