Watch
The show
Pop and rock is the home ground, with originals in the mix too. The range is wide: Louis Prima at one end, Metallica and Guns N' Roses at the other, with Suzanne Vega, Miley Cyrus and the Eurythmics somewhere in the middle. It's all built from guitars, voice and a looper, which is what lets one person sound bigger than one person. And the mood is yours to pick. Mellow works for a dinner or a canape hour. Push it the other way and it turns into a party set.
On the day
Everything needed comes along, including a battery amp, so a venue with no power isn't a dealbreaker. Just flag it when you enquire, because whether there's a wall socket changes what gets packed.
Performance options
The booking is a soloist, and it travels well across the sorts of nights that need one: birthdays, engagement parties, corporate functions and regular venue work in pubs and bars.
