Description

Hello, I have been a musician in the South Florida area for over 20 years, I play a multicultural mix of songs sure to please the audience for any event. I perform a variety of classics both old and contempory, rock, pop, country, musica latina. My playlist ranges from Nat King Cole to Green Day. My extensive playlist allows me to taylor the performance to suit the event and the audience. I am equally at ease with a soft ballad or rocking out the house.

I am a guitarist trained with famed teacher Vincent Bredice as well as a singer and I also play the blues harp (harmonica) to accompany the guitar and vocals. Only LIVE MUSIC, no kareoke or prerecorded tracks. For a more lively event, percussion accompaniment is also available. I have performed at many events and venues throughout South Florida such as The Barnacle Moonlight Concerts and the Fort Lauderdale BLues Festival. I have also performed at numerous clubs as well as private, corporate and charity events. I also have an extensive playlist of childrens songs.

There is nothing like live music, give me a call I guarantee you wont be disappointed. A demo CD or playlist is available upon request.

Feedback

  • Lenny was exactly the entertainment we were looking for. He transitioned nicely between background music to a rocking fun time. All our guests had a blast. I will definitely use him again in the future. -- April L, Miami, FL, 7/21/2009
  • Lenny's performance was outstanding. He was very accomodating and satisfied his audience's request ALL THE TIME. Amazing performer. Would recommend him on a heartbeat. Thank you Lenny. Hope to see you another time.. -- Zulma H, Miami, FL, 5/22/2009
  • My Wife and I were so impressed with Lenny! When we were looking for an artist to perform at our weddind, we really had no idea what to expect. Gigmasters.com made the process easier, but we still were not sure what we were getting. Once I spoke to Lenny on the phone, her made me feel more at ease and said, "the last thing you have to worry about is me and the music". Boy was he right. He was professional, prompt, and played the exact music we were looking for. We loved him so much we had him continue to play another hour. I highly recommend him for any function. We wil use him again for sure! -- Cian D, Biscayne Park, FL, 5/16/2009
