FAQ

Question:	How long have you been performing in Charlotte?
Answer:	I moved here in 1983 from Dallas, TX and began performing locally.

Question:	How many events do you play per year?
Answer:	I perform approximately 100 events a year.

Question:	Why do you have a section specifically for weddings?
Answer:	Weddings and wedding receptions can be very involved. Brides have many questions and things change constantly through the planning stages.

Question:	Are you a full time performer? Is it your only job?
Answer:	I actually consider myself "full time" at everything I do. I have played as many as 9 events in one week. I own a royalty free music business that keeps me busy. I do custom studio work and I also teach a few students.

Question:	If I want to hire you or your band for my event, what is the process?
Answer:	We will discuss the event particulars by phone or email and I will issue a contract. For some events I require a deposit.

Question:	What time will you arrive for my event?
Answer:	For solo piano events where the piano is supplied, I arrive about 20-30 minutes before the event start time. For events with equipment setup time, I arrive a little over an hour before the start time - sometimes earlier.

Question:	Do I need to supply food for the band during my event?
Answer:	It would be wonderful if you did. We would play better and be happier!

Question:	What about alcohol and the band?
Answer:	First of all - I do not work with musicians who have drinking problems. Since I don't have those problems in my band, I neither encourage or discourage it. I leave the decision to each member. Of course there is no drinking if it is disallowed by the event host or place of business.
