Roger delivered a super, great show that kept the crowd moving with beach music, soul, and rock classics. The bar manager told me he loved the energy and variety, and our security guard — a huge Bon Jovi and Led Zeppelin fan — said Roger nailed it. Roger even entertained guests waiting in line for the largest haunted house in the Carolinas and made everyone feel like part of the party."

Many composers can write original music tailored to the specific needs of an event, production or project. This might include a first dance song, a corporate jingle, background music for a video or a full score for a live show. It is worth discussing the brief in detail with the composer.
