Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: I am a solo, mainly instrumental performer. My musical tastes are varied to say the least. I play Brazilian music, some Latin and jazz, but I like Pink Floyd and Bob Dylan. I prefer to interpret rather than just cover songs. Every day is different. Every gig is different and I don't usually play a song exactly the same way twice. Also playing music for people has to be the best job in the world.

We had Ford play at our Parent's 50th Wedding Anniversary. We wanted live music that would allow for conversation. He was a perfect fit and did a great job at the little things and big things. He arrived early, stayed through the whole event, and timed breaks well with the program. He also was able to play to a slide show we brought with essentially no prep time! Amazing. Ford was great - we would hire him again in a second!

I hired Ford for a live show at a busy Street Festival for the lunch crowd. He was timely, cooperative and attentive towards the goals of the festival. I would hire him again, and recommend him to anyone who would like some good background music for their event.

Ford did an excellent job for our company picnic. He had some issues with his equipment but was prepared with a backup plan. Many guests said that his music was the highlight of the picnic. We will definitely be using Ford again!

FAQs

  • What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

    Yes. As a guitar instructor, I understand the value of further education. I take a couple lessons per year from my guitar guru and this year will attend a week long jazz workshop to gain insight into unexplored territory.

  • What types of customers have you worked with?

    I have a regular restaurant gig where I have played every Friday for over 4 years. Last year I played 48 Fridays there. I play wineries, wedding ceremonies and receptions, corporate and private parties, fund raisers, retirement homes, auctions and house concerts.

  • Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

    I collaborated with 3 other song writers for an evening of original music and the stories of how the songs were written. We made the front page of the "360" Magazine along with a nice write up, then sold out the venue - standing room only for 3 hours. An evening I won't forget.
