Introduction

ALL REQUEST Classic Rock and Soul party. You and your guests can choose from over 200 songs by various classic rock, blues, soul, and country artists while during your event. We make it easy with technology. The best part is that we’ll never say no to a request because your guests will already know what we play! I am available for solo gigs as well as full band gigs and anything in between based on your preferences and budget. I have two great bands. The Wilson Brothers and The Love Committee. Each band has musicians from different parts of the state of NJ. Both are awesome. Please listen to the video and audio clips. I’m also a looper. This means I also use a looper pedal for solo gigs which allows me to sound like I have one or two more musicians playing with me on certain songs. Our song list draws from classic rock/blues such as the Beatles, Eagles, Clapton, Dylan, James Taylor, The Band, Neil Young, U2, Elton John, CSNY, Bee Gees, Taj Mahal, the Rolling Stones, Otis Redding, Motown, Jimmy Cliff, Bob Marley, Little Feat, Allman Brothers, , the Grateful Dead, Van Morrison, Tom Petty, Bruce Springsteen, Chris Stapleton,, and much much more. We can play in your backyard, living room, banquet room, or any venue that works for your event. Yep, it's gonna be a party that you and your guests will remember for a long time.

Jim did a fantastic job at our backyard party. Everyone loved his selection of songs along with the way he played. I would hire him again in a heartbeat.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I generally charge a minimum fee of $750 for up to 3 hours as a solo performer. We can also work with smaller budgets depending on the situation as well. If we add other musicians, it would be more per hour depending on your tastes and budget. A full band of seasoned, professional, musicians starts at $1500 for 3 hours. I'm always willing to work with clients to get the best music experience possible so that you and your guests are happy.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Ask questions- lots of them. Don't be afraid to ask any question that comes to mind! This is how we can tell if we're a good fit for your event.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Professional singer/guitar player/drummer for over 30 years. My training comes from years of performing live and in the studio with other pros.
