SWING
A beautiful friendship
Ain't misbehavin
A kiss to build a dream on
A sailboat in the moonlight
After you’ve gone
All of me
All or nothing at all
All the things you are
Almost like being in love
A tisket a tasket
At last
At Your Mothers House
Autumn leaves
Beautiful love
Blue skies
But not for me
Bye bye blackbird
Cheek to cheek
Come fly with me
Comes love
Dance me to the end of love
Day in day out
Deed i do
Del Sasser
Don't get around much anymore
Don't know why
Do nothin till you hear from me
Dream a little dream
Everybody loves my baby
Everything i've got belongs to you
Exactly like you
Feelin good
Fever
Fly me to the moon
Frim fram sauce
Give him the ooh la la
Hang on little tomato
Have you met miss Jones
Honeysuckle rose
How high the moon
I've got my love to keep me warm
I betcha nickel
I can’t give you anything but love
I could write a book
I didn't know what time it was
If i were a bell
Im beginning to the see the light
Im old fashioned
In a mellow tone
Isn't it a lovely day
It's only a paper moon
It could happen to you
It had to be you
I wish you love
I won't dance
I’ll be seeing you
I’ll see you in my dreams
I’ve got you under my skin
Just a gigolo
Just friends
Just you, Just me
la vie en rose
Laundromat swing
Lets do it
Lets fall in love

Lucky old sun
Lullaby of Birdland
Mean to me
Moondance
My baby just cares for me
My blue heaven

My romance
Never will i marry
No greater love
Oh! Look at me now

Our love is here to stay
Pennies from heaven

Summertime
Sunny side of the street
Take the a train
Taint nobody’s business if i do
Tea for two
Teach me tonight
The coffee song
There will never be another you
The Look of Love
The way you look tonight
They can't take that away
They say it's spring
Thou swell
Til there was you
Time after time
Undecided
What a little moonlight can do
What a wonderful world
What is this thing called love
When you’re smiling
Where or when
Wish i knew how it feels to be free
You for me (Haymes)
You make me feel so young

Round midnight
Save your love for me
Someone to watch over me
Surrey with the fringe on top
That’s all
The masquerade is over
The nearness of you
The very thought of you
These foolish things
Try your wings (McGregor)
Unforgettable
What a difference a day made
What a little moonlight can do
What is this thing called love
Wish I knew
You don’t know what love is
Younger than Springtime
BLUES +
Black sheep blues
Cry to me
Do I move you
5 Months, 2 Weeks, 2 Days
I ain’t got nothing but the blues
I dont worry about a thing
I just want to make love to you
I’m walkin
I put a spell on you-
If it hadn’t been for love
I’ve got my mojo workin

I require access to power at a maximum of 20 feet away from performance area, and if we are playing outside, we would need shade and a policy to move indoors if there is rain.
I would need to know if we are desired to play inside or outside, if we are playing somewhere with stairs and no elevator access, and if there is parking available.
I can provide professional sound including 1-2 Electro Voice ZLX-12P PA speakers to cover the area seamlessly. I can provide two basic floor LED lights if requested for an additional fee.
I am happy to play music from Spotify before, after and between our sets. I can choose the music myself or let the client choose the music.
My favorite venue to play at is Lou Lou's inside the Lafayette in San Diego, as seen in my featured photos. Gorgeous venue with a crowd that's ready to dance!
I love playing weddings -- it is an honor to be a part of such an intimate and memorable moment in people's lives, and so fun to curate a setlist that feels like the soundtrack to their love story.
I grew up singing in church and was connected to the jazz scene through another musician in the church. Since then I have played over 1000 events in San Diego, including dozens of weddings and other private events, and even some fly-outs!
My vocal approach is influenced by my favorite singers like Norah Jones, Adele, Chris Stapleton, YEBBA and Rachael Price. My answer to the "Greatest Song of All Time" would change day-to-day, but if you asked me today, I might answer, "Soledad y Mar" by Natalia Lafourcade.
Depending on the size of band, we may arrive 1-2 hours beforehand to set up. We can play up to 5 x 45 minute sets comfortably with 15 minute breaks in between.
I'm happy to play outside but require shade, a flat level surface and a power supply within 20 feet of the performance area.
Clients can request certain genres, artists and even specific songs, though if we don't know them already we may only be able to learn a few without additional charges. Otherwise, we are happy to choose the setlist as we see fit to the occasion, audience, venue and overall vibe!
Previous clients would describe me as flexible and attentive to preferences -- conversational level volume to set an upscale tone when requested, but also high-energy music to get the dance floor packed, and sometimes both (eg. cocktail hour into wedding reception)!
