Description
Thanks for viewing my materials! I entertain by singing, playing guitar and chromatic and diatonic harmonica. My performances have a full band sound, featuring tropical, jazz, folk, classic rock, and country music. I have played in San Diego professionally for over 30 years, have played acoustic guitar for 40 years, and also play mandolin and ukulele.
I am also a pirate! I play here in San Diego with a group called Jackstraws, and we do nautical and maritime songs in an audience friendly manner, and I am available as a solo performer with this material. We perform regularly at Sea World and onboard the Star of India--the world's oldest working seagoing vessel. There are some photos in my package here that include this group--one on the Star and another at Legoland with "Dora the Explorer" that they used on a flyer.
I also play the Ztar, a unique doubleneck guitar synthesizer controller, and this instrument is featured in my video of Under the Boardwalk.
Another band I have available is a Mamas and Papas tribute show for the ultimate 60's flashback--photos included here.

Feedback
- Gary was great! Very personable and willing to let our group on "stage" with him to do some sing-alongs! He was on time and organized, and had a long list of songs which fit in with our "Margaritaville" party theme. Everyone commented on how much fun our party was and how Gary contributed to the evening. Thanks Gary! -- Judy D, San Diego, CA, 8/12/2008
- Gary was just perfect -- his presentation, talent, and connection with audience were right on the mark. I would definitely hire him again and would recommend him to a friend. -- Linda A, San Diego, CA, 5/4/2008
- Gary arrived on time and was wonderful. Everyone at the party spoke to me about how much they liked him. He arrived and sang to the birthday boy. His list of songs was huge and very well done. He was pleasant and easy to work with. He made our party very successful. -- Nancy C, San Diego, CA, 3/14/2008
- Gary performed for our New Year's Party. He came well before the event and set up everything so that he was ready right at the start of the party. Very relaxed and professional. We were extremely pleased with his talent, versatility and rapport with our guests. He was much loved by all, including the children of the guests, who he amazed with his talents in playing the dozens and dozens of harmonicas, all tuned to different scales. We enjoyed the music, danced to it past midnight and had a wonderful time. He will be back with us, you can be sure and with pleasure. Highly recommended! -- Sarka S, San Diego, CA, 12/31/2007
- Good job!! Especially taking the time to learn a new song, with a "yodel", for my dads' memorial service and getting everyone to join in too! Everyone agreed that the service was "so special and so right" and could not have been more meaningful! -- Kathleen E, San Diego, CA, 9/20/2006
- We held a Renaissance costume birthday party in our home which included a large patio area. Gary dressed the part and was a big hit at the event. For about 2 hours he strolled about the party goers playing a mandolin and singing. In the last hour we had 3 sing alonges and then he played some rock and roll where we enjoyed dancing. He is very talented, pleasent to talk with and easy to work with. It was one of our best parties.
Regards,
Andrew Oien -- Julia O, Mission Viejo, CA, 2/24/2007
