FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Performances start at a minimum of $1,000, and will vary based on set length, travel time, and the type of event. I play events all over the country, and typically charge an additional $1,000 per 100 miles away from Chicago as rule of thumb, depending on your needs.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
First things first, let's make sure I'm the best fit for you! I offer free consultation calls with every inquiry about my services, and during those calls we can discuss exactly what you're looking for and how to make your event a success.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I’ve been performing live for well over a decade. I’ve played hundreds of shows from crowds of 5 people all the way to 5,000, and have a obtained a long list of professional accolades over the years. I’ve been in dozens of bands ranging all genres, with personal musicianship awards and scholarships from University of Cincinnati's College Conservatory of Music, which is one of the most prestigious music schools in the country. I was the first chair jazz guitarist in Ohio's All-State Jazz Program for 3 years in a row during my teenage years, was selected to receive a full scholarship at age 14 to attend the School of Rock Performance Program and House Band, and received almost a dozen honors Jazz awards through different performance programs. My original music written with Freak Mythology has received numerous songwriting awards from music platforms in the U.S. and U.K., as well as won multiple local, national, and international awards for live performances. I have worked in a corporate environment since college and understand what it takes to communicate at a high level, and have a degree in Marketing from Ohio University.
