World-Class Musicians For Your Event   The right music played by experienced, professional performers can make any event memorable. From sophisticated jazz for corporate gatherings to dance music for birthdays or anniversaries, Chris will work with you to select music that perfectly captures the atmosphere and mood you envision, and then assemble the musicians to make it happen.   Top Musicians   For almost any style of music that you would like to share with your guests, Chris can put together a lineup of topnotch performers. A respected member of the local music scene, Chris plays regularly with the area’s most talented and versatile musicians who have years of experience playing jazz, classical, and pop at clubs, in concerts, and at private events of all kinds.
From Solo Performers to Big Bands   The number of musicians who play at your event depends not only on the kind of music you’d like to hear, but the number of guests, the size of the venue, and your budget. From quiet music played by a solo performer as background to a rollicking R&B band complete with singers and a horn section for after-dinner dancing and celebration.   Solo Performances: A skilled guitarist, Chris can provide unaccompanied music to set the perfect mood for any portion of your event. If there is another instrument you would like to hear—a cellist or a singer, for example—Chris can find the right musician and coordinate their performance.   Duos: A duet featuring a guitarist and singer performing jazz standards is ideal during dinner or for an intimate reception. Guitar and bass, guitar and piano, and guitar and saxophone are also great combinations where sophistication and intimacy is important.   Trios: For larger receptions and bigger venues, or where dancing is the goal, add a drummer for more rhythmic excitement.   Larger groups: For greater variety, heightened excitement, and a truly festive party atmosphere, a jazz quartet or quintet, a four-piece rock group, or an R&B band with horns are just some of the possibilities.   Songs and Styles   Chris’s repertoire includes hundreds of tunes spanning a wide range of genres.   Jazz: From Duke Ellington to Charlie Parker, George Gershwin to Cole Porter, and from swing to bop to bossa nova, Chris plays the great jazz tunes of any era.   Rock, Blues, and Country: The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, B.B. King, Hank Williams—Chris can rock your wedding with classic tunes from the great performers of the last forty years.
