PLEASE READ BEFORE CONTACTING ME ? My minimum fee is $1,000 for a solo performance (within 25 miles of 60601). If your budget matches, I would love to put a custom quote together for your special event. Videos can be found under "featured projects" or on my website! Thanks ???
Whether it's private parties, weddings, corporate events, or charity fundraisers, I've been performing both original and cover music live for over 15 years!
My repertoire includes music from almost all genres and includes endeavors like working with and sharing the stage with bands and artists like Sublime with Rome, Richie Ramone of The Ramones, and Chance McCoy of Old Crow Medicine Show.
I play nearly 100 private events a year, and I've played 600+ events that include performances at the homes of CEOs' of Fortune 500 companies, professional sports teams like the Chicago Bears, high-profile politicians, and more!
