Live Music
Want to take it up a notch at your next party or private event? I can perform hours of acoustic covers for your guests (I know more than 100 songs spanning six decades, from the Beatles to Tom Petty to Olivia Rodrigo to the Lumineers, but can learn specific requests) and provide any necessary sound equipment.I know the ropes of live entertainment. I've performed at clubs and bars all over the world, but also at wedding rehearsals and birthday parties. And of course I've played hundreds of shows in and around Boston -- including many a Saint Patrick's Day and, for awhile, every other Saturday night in Southie... so rest assured, I can handle your drunk uncle!
Rates: $100 for the first hour, $75 per additional hour
