the art of the "relaxed celebration"

Hello! I love playing music, and I love playing music for people. But what I don't love is tension. I have seen and been part of many celebrations, especially weddings, where planning and preparation take over, and enjoyment and anticipation get pushed aside. I understand why this happens, but it shouldn't have to be that way. This is why I provide relaxed celebration performances, for people who decide they would prefer a more laid back approach to their celebrations.

Laid back does not mean every song is slow and quiet. Nor does it mean that production and performances are second rate. Quite the opposite. I am a professional who delivers relaxation as a product. Think of Jimmy Buffett, for example. His brand was all about relaxing, but his shows were top-notch professional. That's the world I love.

If you are celebrating a wedding, a milestone birthday or anniversary, a retirement, a birth, or a celebration of life, and you would like wonderful selection of tunes that truly reflect you or the person(s) being honoured, let's put something together. You can rely on me to understand your requirements and to deliver the tunes and the atmosphere that best carry a sense of comfort, pride, happiness and relaxation that are the hallmarks of life.

Live entertainment chosen by you and your guests

Some people just like to sit back and enjoy the tunes I play. I feel I can read a room quite well, so we start off with the quieter tunes and then move along in sync with the energy of the event. 

I also provide customized menus - collections of 300+ tunes that your guests can request, giving them a deeper connection to your theme and hospitality.

Oh, I LOVE that song!

Whether we're in a hotel ballroom or a more intimate location such as your living room, I provide an opportunity for relaxation and reflection. From quiet acoustic tunes to irresistible singalongs, celebrations are at their best when guests' faces light up and they say "I LOVE that tune!" 

As a solo act using top quality backing tracks, I deliver these favourites in a way that is not as loud or complicated as a band, and more approachable than a Spotify playlist.  

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

l treat your event as it should be: a serious business engagement that delivers pleasure and memories to your family and guests. Professionally played, with quality sound and lights and a clean stage. 

Before the event 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 the event around you. 

I will of course show up prepared, ready and properly dressed, and will make sure that the performance reflects the theme of your event becomes a wonderful lasting memory for the people you have chosen relax and celebrate with.
