I would need a decent amount of space (not much) to perform and set up my equipment.
I would need to know any directions that would help me find the venue and where I could park at the location.
Playing in Salzburg, Austria at the Mirabell Palace and in Wittenburg, Germany in the historic All Saints' Church.
I love playing at all events, but weddings are a favorite!
I began gigging while being a university student and my performances grew and developed from there. Since I have begun, I have performed in many gigs ranging from weddings, proposals, private and corporate events, cafes, classical concerts, and more.
