Description:

I am a multi-talented performer who can sing and play popular music from any genre. In addition to being skilled in classical guitar and finger style techniques, I transform basic covers into unique pieces that exceed mere pop mimicry. If you want a DJ who will pump up the jams and add live guitar riffs or solos, look no further! I have a small footprint and utilize a loop station looper and vocal harmonizer, so you won't even realize that the sound is coming from one person. I am confident in the quality of my work, and I offer a sale of three 50+ minute sets for $300, which is 50% cheaper than my competition. Check out my videos on YouTube to see for yourself.

As a guitar teacher, I am equally skilled at breaking down complex concepts and making them understandable for anyone. I offer lessons both online and in-person and have taught countless individuals in the past. My reverbnation page features 50 compositions that I have written, performed, and recorded myself. I take pride in spreading the joy of music and appreciate the opportunity to do so through both teaching and performance.

It's effortless to converse with Tom. He displayed enthusiasm to perform and sing as per my requirements and comprehended that his part in this production is distinct from his usual shows. This is incredibly valued as this position demands specificity.

Tom's performance at our annual block party in Deer Park was nothing short of amazing! He showcased immense talent as a musician and truly elevated the party to a whole new level. We were thoroughly impressed and plan to book him again for next year's event.

Tom was simply outstanding. I found myself in charge of a work event and, at the eleventh hour, decided I needed to arrange for some live music for the Opening Reception. Tom was incredibly easy to communicate with, arrived ahead of schedule, set up his equipment with remarkable speed and efficiency, and was ready to perform when the reception began. His musicianship, especially on the guitar, was truly impressive. His contribution to our event was the extra something that elevated it to a whole new level and made me look good in the process. I can't recommend Tom highly enough, and I only wish I lived in Chicago so I could book him for all of my events!

I engaged Tom to perform at my cocktail party and I cannot praise him enough! Tom was readily accessible and promptly responded to my messages. He arrived punctually and maintained his professionalism throughout the night. Tom's diverse music selection got us all grooving! He even joined in with our karaoke session. I highly recommend Tom to any person who requires a musician. Thank you!

Working with Tom was an absolute breeze. His immense musical talent truly made our wedding day extraordinary. Not only did he execute his guitar playing impeccably, but his singing was also an absolute delight. Tom even went the extra mile by providing guitar accompaniment for my daughter's singing during our ceremony, which made the moment even more unforgettable. We are forever grateful for his contribution to our special day. Thank you, Tom, for creating such wonderful and lasting memories!
