About

Over the past forty years I have performed at countless weddings, corporate events, private parties and concerts. My music has always gone over very well and I am frequently invited back for return engagements.

I was fortunate enough to have studied jazz guitar at Berklee College of Music and classical guitar at New England Conservatory. Combining my love of both styles I have made a particular specialty of performing selections from "The American Songbook" on solo classical guitar. These are the great 'standards' by composers such as Duke Ellington, George Gershwin, Richard Rodgers, Ann Ronell, Jerome Kern, Carole King, and a host of others. I also include some more contemporary selections by artists such as Billy Joel, Lennon/McCartney, Norah Jones, Stevie Wonder, etc. This music is widely known and loved across generational lines.

Also in my 'performance ready' repertoire is a good deal of more traditional classical music. Classical guitar creates an ambiance very similar to the harp and is ideally suited for weddings and other special occasions.

Please read 'Customer Reviews' and listen to 'Audio Samples'. If you like what you hear and read then get in touch to discuss your event. The following song list is not nearly complete, but should give you a good idea of what to expect. With enough advance notice, I am always happy to learn a new tune or two for your special occasion.

Thank you for taking the time to review my press kit. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you should have any questions. I look forward to hearing from you.
