Music can make or break an event. While song selection is important, there are other factors to consider such as volume, vibe of the event, requests, equipment, etc. Kevin has made it his career providing music and entertainment for events with a fun, unique, professional approach to live music. With high-end equipment and a huge selection, he is an award-winning, full-time, professional singer, guitar player, and entertainer. This has been his career for over 26 years. He has over 40 years experience performing all types of events! He is fully insured and has been a member of the National Association of Mobile Event Professionals since 2008. He is one of the most sought after entertainers, not only Western New York but throughout the United States, Canada, Ireland. He will be tentatively performing across Europe in 2025. He performed for huge concerts to small parties and just about everything in between. He can make any event a party and has been called the ultimate one-man band!

Kevin is an experienced and seasoned entertainer with a dynamic show! He plays acoustic guitar, has a pleasant singing voice, and uses backing tracks for a full band sound. He has an extensive catalog of songs, enjoys taking requests, and can make any event a party. One of his biggest assets is his huge variety of songs he can play. He’s has a crowd pleasing show that gets everyone involved, requesting songs, singing-along, dancing, and having fun. Most of his backing tracks he has recorded in his studio with some of the top musicians in Western New York and are recorded for the live setting. He sounds like a full band because his tracks are recorded by real musicians! In between his live sets, he also has a complete, computerized DJ setup as well, with a huge song selection for continuous music throughout the entire event.

  1. Cost – He is much less expensive than party bands and yet still has a full-band sound.
  2. Song Selection – He has a much bigger selection of songs from a wide-variety of genres as compared to a band.
  3. Volume Control – He has full volume control. He can play as quiet or as loud as you/your event calls for depending on the time of night, the vibe of the event, etc. Bands often have to be as loud as their drummer so volume control is often extremely difficult.  When asked to play quieter, most bands lose their excitement and energy. Most DJs have traditional speakers that can be harsh/over powering.
  4. State-of-the-Art Equipment – Kevin uses high-end equipment for a fuller, more pleasant sound. He can play as quiet as an acoustic guitar and as loud and rockin’ as a live band. He is happy to fit the vibe/volume of your event.
  5. More Space for Your Event – Bands, usually take up a lot of valuable event space. Kevin can fit into much smaller spaces than a band.
  6. The Advantage Over a DJ –  Kevin can provide both LIVE and DJ music! This rare combination gives him even more flexibility with song selections.  Because it’s rare, it automatically sets your event apart. He can easily switch back and forth from performing live to DJing, if needed, for continuous music for any event.
  7. Know Party! – Having live music covering a variety of genres creates a fun party vibe, with singing-along, and dancing.
  8. Experience –  With this as his main career for over 26 years, Kevin plays bars, restaurants, private parties, festivals, concerts,  country clubs, company events, company parties, company picnics, holiday parties, wedding receptions, wedding ceremonies, rehearsal dinners, birthdays, anniversaries, churches, church events, funerals, beach clubs, summer picnics, celebrations of life, pig roasts, colleges, elementary schools, (he also speaks at middle & high schools),  and many more!

The main thing that sets him apart is his full-band sound. He  produces & records most of his  backing tracks with REAL musicians – with some of the top players in WNY. He has professional, dynamic players on these tracks – some of the best the Western NY area has to offer!  – Including drummers Tom Brown, Kirk Beers, Paul Campanella. Ted Reinhardt, Bassist – Jim Wynn among others! Kevin produces the tracks, records them in his studio with these musicians, and plays guitar, keyboards, and some bass on the tracks. They are recorded with the live performance in mind and many people enjoy the unique “live” versions of the songs. At his show, Kevin sings & plays along with these tracks…close your eyes and its a full band!
