Live Music That Brings Back Memories – From the 1940s to the 2000s

Professional singer-guitarist for hire, perfect for milestone birthdays, private parties, and corporate events

Live entertainment chosen by you and your guests

Whether you're planning a milestone birthday party (like a 60th) a silver or golden anniversary, a corporate function, or a private celebration, I provide live music that sets the perfect tone. Using high-quality backing tracks and performing on guitar, I bring timeless tunes from the 1940s to the 2000s to life. Audience members get to request their favourite tunes from handout menus.

Oh, I LOVE that song!

A party is always a success when people’s faces light up and they say “Oh, I LOVE that song!” That's why I have put together a collection of favourite tunes delivered in a way that is not as loud or complicated as a band, using top-quality backing tracks. Based in Toronto, I am available to play anywhere in the greater Toronto area. I bring a small PA, microphones, and guitars with stands. All I need from you is a space about 6′ by 6′.

It's not about me...it's about you

You, as host and co-ordinator want to put on a successful party, family celebration or corporate event. l treat each gig as it should be: a serious business engagement. I will meet with you in person, or by phone or video chat to learn more about your needs and favourite tunes. I will then build an event around you. I show up prepared, ready and properly dressed, and will make sure that the performance reflects the theme of your evening.

The video below (Oye Como Va by Santana) highlights the lighting rig that I will bring to your event. Some of my tunes have custom lighting sequences, like this one, while others are more laid back and calmer. Either way, lights truly enhance the performance experience.
