Your event is extra-special and the music should be, too.  I would be honored to be selected as your professional musician to help accent the gathering and build the memories. 

 

Services include your choice of cover songs, cover song arrangements in differing genres (e.g. a rock song in soothing, ambient classical music style), jazz standards, and original compositions, including personalized wedding songs. 

 

As a multi-genre musician, composer, and songwriter, I am a classically-trained pianist who also plays guitar, bass, cello, and sings for local venues and private events.
