General Questions
Do you only play accordion music?
Not at all. My digital accordion can faithfully recreate the sound of a full string orchestra, piano, acoustic guitar, jazz ensembles, pipe organ, woodwinds, brass, and many other instruments. Most guests are surprised by the variety of sounds.
What kinds of events do you perform at?
I perform at weddings, cocktail hours, receptions, wineries, restaurants, private parties, corporate events, holiday celebrations, senior communities, memorial gatherings, and special occasions throughout Northern California.
What styles of music do you perform?
Everything from romantic wedding classics and Italian favorites to jazz standards, country, pop, classic rock, Broadway, French café music, Latin music, Americana, and holiday selections.
What makes your performances different?
I combine the warmth of live performance with the versatility of modern digital technology, allowing me to create everything from intimate acoustic sounds to rich orchestral arrangements—all performed live by one musician.

My repertoire includes hundreds of selections covering several decades and many musical styles. Along with standards, I perform many modern love songs, country favorites, pop hits, Broadway selections, and light rock.

Can you perform holiday music?
Yes. Christmas, Oktoberfest, patriotic celebrations, St. Patrick’s Day, and other seasonal events are among my favorites.
Do you travel?
I’m based on California’s beautiful Mendocino Coast and perform throughout Northern California. Travel to other regions can also be arranged.
