I will also be performing in the Bedford area at the Arena, and Bedford Elks as well as traveling to Huntingdon to appear at Mimi’s Restaurant.

Live music brings a great atmosphere to any party. Please contact me for information regarding entertainment for your special event. Whether it’s a small family celebration a major business function, I can provide the right music to make your party one to remember.

Please Join Me at one of these Regular venues!

The Phoenix Restaurant & Lounge:

I usually play here one or two Saturdays a month . It is mostly dinner/cocktail music, which includes standards by Sinatra, Bennett, and others. But sometimes I mix it up a little and play music from the 60’s, 70’s, and 80’s. It’s mainly a dinner gig and the food is outstanding.

The UVA Club:

The UVA is a members only club. I appear there the fourth Friday of every month playing a wide variety of music from 7:00-11:00. They also have excellent food.

The Blairmont Club:

This is another members only club where I usually perform the first and third Friday of each month.

The Arena:

Great Restaurant/bar in Bedford where I will be playing the second Friday and Saturday of each month.

The Altoona Hotel:

Upscale bistro atmosphere with great food and an award winning wine list. This is mainly a jazz gig and is usually the first and third Thursday each month.

Mimi’s:

Another great dining experience, this time in Huntingdon, with a unique friendly atmosphere. This gig usually starts out with light dinner/bar music but can turn into a great upscale bar atmosphere (with dancing) later in the evening.
As we move into the winter this will be the second and fourth Thursday of the month.
