Island Groove Music

Years of performing in a Jimmy Buffet tribute band and playing throughout the Caribbean aboard Carnival Cruise Lines had an impact. I love island music and bring that love to my performance. As a solo act, I play keyboards, marimbas, steel drums, organ, ukulele, congas and other ethnic drums – laying down an island groove while singing well-known island songs. My gear is top notch and I can accommodate a summer backyard BBQ to a quiet restaurant to a 500 occupancy venue, providing these events with 180° of clear sound at a volume where conversation is easily heard. I can also fill out the sound with other professional musicians from a duo up to a full dance band, depending on your specifications. The song list below is but a small representation of my vast repertoire of “Island Groove.”
