How do you like to be paid?
Payment is by cash or cheque and due immediately upon completion of engagement.
What kind of music will you play?
While I do have a set-list of approximately 75 songs, my 40 years full-time in the music business has taught me to “read” the room and the crowd. That skill gives me the ability to take the show in whichever musical direction the audience and moment inspires. I will always include a high number of popular seniors standards.
Do you bring your own sound equipment and musical instruments?
Yes. I use only top notch, professional sound equipment and musical instruments.
I also have my own canopy for outdoor venues.
How long do you take to set-up your gear?
I try to be onsite a full 60min prior to a scheduled performance.
Having said that, I can have my gear set up in under 15min. That does not include “load in” time.
How many songs will you play?
A 60min set will usually accommodate 15-20 songs.
Do you take requests?
If I know it, I’ll play it.
May one of our residents sing with you?
No, I do not have guest performers.
What if you're playing too loud for our residents?
Just let me know. As my employer, the volume is completely up to you.
I am there to please. I have no issues with playing at whatever volume you’d like.
What if one of our residents has a fall and breaks some of your gear or one of your instruments?
I am fully insured. You will have no liability issues.
🙂
