Chris can provide beautiful classical guitar for your ceremony and swinging jazz standard guitar instrumentals for your cocktail hour. Chris is an accomplished singer who sings cover tunes, jazz standards, and his original music. Chris earned a Bachelor's degree in jazz guitar performance from the University of Maine and a Master’s degree in classical guitar performance from Youngstown State University in Ohio. Chris has enjoyed 30 years of performance experience, playing in jazz, blues, funk, and reggae groups as well as a solo performer of classical guitar, jazz standards, and original music. He also plays the flute quite well.

Pricing is as follows: I charge $500 to play a ceremony. Add $200 for reception as well. If you hire my band New Shades of Blue for reception or cocktail hour, I give a half price discount and only charge $250 for the ceremony music. Please check us out on wedding wire as well. If a boat is required to reach the destination there is an extra $100 travel fee. I can learn just about any song to sing or play as instrumental for $50/song. Difficult classical pieces not in my repertoire will cost more.

I have a good sound system that you can plug your music player or laptop into if you would like. I have both wall powered and a battery powered PA, so if your ceremony is on the beach, no problem!
