Solo Entertainment - What I Offer

---------------------------------------

A polished, professional entertainment experience that can provide the same (or better) sound than most full bands. Benefits include:

) Full-band sound with only one performer

) Very consistent sound and presentation

) Appropriate volume for the venue

) Minimal space requirements for setup

) Minimal electrical power needed

) Minimal travel and hotel requirements

"What kind of material do you perform?"

My catalog contains a couple hundred hit songs that are evenly spread between Rock, Pop, Country and include material from the s, s, s through present. I provide appropriate material for anything from an elegant Wedding Reception to a "get down with it" birthday party to a headliner act at any corporate, charity, or sponsored event. My clients have said that my presentation will work for practically any age range and I work tirelessly to provide exactly what your guests want; an enjoyable evening.

My instrumentation is usually live vocals and guitar, paired with my professionally-produced backing tracks. For Wedding Ceremonies, I usually provide piano music. Other instruments and/or singers are available upon request. I'm here to serve and will provide exactly what you want.

"What are your credentials?"

My musical credits are diverse and include + years on The Grand Ole Opry, numerous major Artist credits, large concert venues, Network TV/Radio, Weddings, Receptions, Birthday parties, Corporate meetings, Tradeshows and countless other private functions. You name it, I've entertained there.

"How do you get all that sound with just one guy?"

I start with songs that have been "hits" for the artists who originally recorded them, then record the band parts at my home studio; drums, bass, keys, backing vocals, etc. After recording, I add the new song to a laptop computer that has special performance software. The computer helps me to instantly fill any song request. When a guest asks for "Doobie Brothers" I can hit a few keystrokes and it's ready to roll. It makes for a seamless presentation that keeps the music (and the fun) rolling along. This software also displays song lyrics, allowing me to invite guests to take the mic to "be a star". Including guests into the performance is a sure-fire hit and it works, every time. Just ask my clients.

"What equipment do you use?"

I use the finest sound system available, made especially for Solo Entertainers, the "Bose L System". Of all the sound systems I've used, this one wins hands down. The system is extremely compact and melts into the surroundings.

For lighting, I typically bring a light tree with a sound-activated controller. This gives a great little light show that rounds out the polished, professional look and sound that today's audiences demand. Details are crucial in entertainment and I try hard to make certain everything is absolutely perfect for my clients.
