About
Hello!
My name is Andrew, and I have been working in the events and wedding space for the past 9 years and have honed in on what it means to provide live music for events like yours. When hiring me, you're getting someone who has the experience necessary to bring music to your event without causing you any extra worry. Once the details are settled, you will have nothing to worry about!
Some of the musical configurations I offer are....
-An Instrumental group playing popular, recognizable music in a jazz style and/or jazz standards from the great American book.
-A vocal led group singing a mix of modern day and classic hits from a repertoire list that is vast enough to create any atmosphere you can imagine.
-A string quartet playing classical staples and arrangements of popular music for your wedding ceremony.
-A solo piano player for your cocktail hour or house party.
These groups can be scaled up or down to be as big or small as your event demands.
Any musician hired through me has a repertoire list that spans from Frank Sinatra to Bruno Mars and encompasses just about everything in between. This is so we can cater our musical selections specifically for your day. No two events are ever the same!
I'm hoping you decide to reach out and I look forward to meeting you!

I hired Andrew and his group to come play my Gatsby themed dinner and the music was perfect. Just what I was looking for and a great addition to the party.

Andrew was great to work with! From choosing the music to making sure we were happy during the event. The music and vocals were great and all of our guests enjoyed! I would definitely bring Andrew and his band back for another party in the future!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing, regardless of duration, location, generally starts around $1000 for a solo musician for 1 hour. This includes a certificate of insurance, all necessary sound equipment and the musical performance. As more musical pieces are added (Bass, piano, guitar, a vocalist, etc), so does the rate.
It is not a flat $1000 per hour, each subsequent hour booked goes down in price significantly.
I want to work with you to find a fair price that allows you to have music at your event and am happy to answer any question when it comes to pricing. It's important to understand that high quality live music does come at a certain expense.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
First comes a free consultation over zoom or phone call to get to know each other, discuss what kind of event you need music for and what kind of music you're looking for. Soon after this call I will send a quote along with a contract outlining all the details so there is no confusion down the road. Once all the details are squared away, you get to look forward to enjoying live music at your event!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a lifetime of experience! I started on the pots and pans in my parent's kitchen. Soon after I began piano lessons and it has been a roller coaster ever since. The love I have for music is one that is shared by all the musicians I choose to employ.
