Description
Donnie is a Charlotte NC based musician, as of the last year. He has recently moved there with his wife, from Jacksonville Fl where he graduated college and spent the last 6 years and playing and teaching music full time. Since moving to North Carolina last September he has played over a hundred gigs all over North Carolina, from private parties, and weddings, to the Biltmore House Winery, and held several regular weekly gigs around town. Here are some reasons to hire him:
***On his official website you can find all of his info including Listening Tracks, Photos, Bio, Resume, Tune List, Contact info, and more.
***Donnie plays solo instrumental guitar from a repertoire of hundreds of popular tunes from the 1920's to 2009 hits spanning Jazz, Rhythm and Blues, Latin, Rock, Country, Classical, Theme Music, Show Tunes, Holiday Music, etc. All tunes are played from memory, and Donnie learns songs on a daily basis for regulars at gigs, private clients, gigmaster clients, family & friends, and anyone else.
***If a song is not on Donnie's list, it doesn't mean he doesn't know it. However, if the there is a tune he doesn't know, he will learn it, record it in full in his professional studio with the best audio recording equipment available, and send it to you via email or hard copy CD in the mail (not for sale). This is no extra charge. The tune will then be on the list for future clients, and one more customer will be satisfied. The only thing he needs to learn the song is the name of the tune.
***The pro acoustic sound system he uses is small, wireless, and perfect for nearly all situations from intimate indoor venues, to outdoor events. All that is needed is one wall outlet and the amount of space of a standard chair (size of amp), and he can sit/stand/walk around wirelessly up to 200ft away from the amp. He has all gear needed, including all sorts of extension cords, or adapters to plug into the venues overhead sound systems if desired/or applicable.
***Donnie is always on time, dressed to the occasion, with a professional attitude, and always play to the listener's taste.
***Not only can you hire Donnie as a solo musician, but you can also hire him as a Duo, Trio, or Quartet.
