About

YOUR SPECIAL CELEBRATION

As you thoughtfully plan your event you'll want to make sure it will be set to the perfect music. Whether elegant or playful, upbeat or tranquil, I understand that the

ambiance you have in mind 

and want me to help create

 should be memorable.   

 Naturally, you're looking for an experienced, versatile vocalist 

who will deliver just the right sound, mood, and visual appeal to suit the important occasion. I'll pick tunes from the 20's through 70's eras in your genre of choice:  Romantic, timeless jazz and pop  ballads always provide a wonderful backdrop to a wedding shower

 or reception; look no further

 if your tango dance group is organizing a private event

 and seeking  a reputable live

 band; If you're organizing a 

Cinco de Mayo or Day of the Dead  party you've come to the right place for classic, authentic 

Mexican music. In every 

case, I dress the part.  

 Finally, you deserve and need an impeccably responsive, reliable, punctual professional. With your input, I will write a contract, then follow it to the letter.

The true beauty of music 

is that it connects people.  It 

carries a message, and we, the musicians, are the messengers.
