My performances are well suited for restaurants, dinners, cocktail hours, parties, etc. where mood music is preferred. I do no vocals, very little or no chatter on the microphone to detract from conversations in the room. I have a wide variety of music styles and I am able to change up my sets to meet the mood of the room, i.e. (ballads, smooth jazz, up tempo, standards, etc.) I dress for the event, I can be formal or casual. I use quality gear to prevent any equipment malfunctions, and provide a cordless microphone for your announcements, A battery powered sound system is available for Beach Wedding. I strive to exceed expectations. I have recently returned to Gigmasters, But I am not new to performing. With a B.S. in Music Ed. from the University of Akron, I have been performing as a single in Central and SW Florida since 1999, and over 35 years of professional experience. Thank you, Jim
