Musical Entertainment For Clubs and Restaurants

with the best equipment and song files cannot duplicate the atmosphere
created by a live musician. Event planners have hired me to provide live
music for all kinds of events all over New England. This page will acquaint
you with some of the most common types of events for which I have been
hired.  


Of course, there is always music at weddings, receptions and rehearsal
dinners. I am able to perform a good deal of classical guitar music which
creates an intimate, elegant ambiance for wedding ceremonies. Jazz guitar
fits in very well with wedding receptions and rehearsal dinners.


Many of my bookings are to provide live musical entertainment for private
parties. These parties include anniversaries, birthday parties,
Christmas/holiday parties and other special events. This type of party is
often held in private homes, but frequently in restaurants or function halls.  
Live music as entertainment adds a special, intimate ambiance to any
event. If you are not planning on dancing, or if you do not want your party
to be overpowered by a band or DJ, the soft sound of an acoustic guitar in
the background may be just the entertainment you are looking for.


Corporate events are another frequent type of booking. Corporate
functions include grand openings, sales/training meetings, conventions,
banquets, retirement parties, fund raisers or holiday parties. Having
acoustic jazz guitar as entertainment helps to create an atmosphere which
is both “classy” and laid back. I perform at dozens of corporate events
every year and my music has always gone over very well.

                              
Business such as clubs, restaurants, coffee shops, ski lodges and cruise
ships often book live music as entertainment for their guests. Sometimes
this is background music intended to create a pleasant ambiance. Other
times the music may be a special feature resembling a small, informal
concert.

Following are partial lists of corporate clients and venues in New
England where event planners have hired me to perform. Individuals who
have booked me to perform at private functions are not listed.
