Below you will find information about various types of musical performances, and, special performances and services I offer to churches. Please contact me with any questions you might have.

Music Services I Offer

Restaurants

If you are looking for dinner music in your restaurant I can provide the right music. When performing at restaurants I keep the music at an enjoyable listening level so your guests can still have an engaging conversation at their table.

House Concerts

Do you have a 12’x15’ room? You can host a House Concert! A house concert is quite simply a live music performance in someone's home. You invite your friends over to watch a live show. Each of your friends donates a few bucks for the privilege. You then get live music in your home. Your friends get a personalized, environment to hear great music.

Coffeehouses

Does your coffee house host live acoustic music? The coffee house environment is often a place where people find relaxation, conversation, entertainment, and great coffee. It seems that coffee houses have become the non-alcoholic alternative to the local bar. I have enjoyed performing in coffee houses for the past 5 years and would love to perform at your venue.

Church Gatherings

When your church is looking for someone to perform music for a special event, or perhaps, to give their worship team a break please contact me. Over the years I have had the pleasure of leading worship events, putting together “ad-hoc” worship teams for a one time event, and have been the music leader for Group Workcamps (Group Publishing).  I  look forward to lead worship events whenever the opportunity comes. If your church would like to have me on a Sunday morning, festival, or for an evening program I would love to come.

Festivals

Community Festivals demand music that appeals to different tastes and gets people snapping their fingers. Finding good, reliable talent that complements the theme of your festival is not always easy.  My experience at many different festivals, The Kutztown German Festival, Bowers Chili Pepper Festival, PA Guild of Craftsman festival in Tyler State Park, PA, to name a few, can work for you in two different ways: I can customize my own performance to your requirements, and can recruit and coordinate performances by other talented musicians.

Art Gallery Openings

If your gallery is looking for acoustic music at your next artists opening my musical style and selection would be a good complement to your opening event.

For the Church

Acoustic Concert

Many congregations hold concert events. My style of performance lends itself well to an intimate concert experience. My shows are acoustic, meaning I do not come with a full band. My style of music would be classified as an acoustic folk rock sound. I have songs that would fit into an all Christian event, and a mix of thoughtful secular songs that I mix in with Christian songs that work well for an “outreach” concert that is not too “churchy.”

My typical concert is 2 hours long, with a 15 minute break in the middle. I would suggest that the concert also include food and beverages.

Worship Concert

My passion is using my music to facilitate worship. I have had numerous opportunities to facilitate worship and it is still my favorite type of musical event.

When I conduct worship concerts I perform alone, but, on occasion I incorporate musicians from the hosting congregation. In my ministry as a youth pastor I have also followed God’s leading in forming youth worship teams. I have had the blessing of taking a youth worship team with me to performances.

Morning Worship

As I expressed, facilitating worship is a deep passion of mine. If you are at the point that your worship team may be taking a rest, or away, I would love to come and facilitate worship music at your worship service.

Mini-Concert

There are times that a congregation may decide to do something a bit different on a Sunday morning. A “Mini-Concert” might fit.

A mini-concert could consist of a 3 to 4 song set, approximately 20 minutes in length and centered around a theme. The mini-concert could be used to emphasize the morning message or a special ministry the congregation wishes to highlight.

Retreat Worship Leader

God has blessed me with the opportunity to be the worship leader / facilitator at retreats. When I facilitate worship at retreats I also try to incorporate musicians that bring their instruments for the retreat. It has been amazing to see how God can bring a group of musicians together that have never met each other and fuse us into a worship team.

Pulpit & Special Event Speaker

God has taken me on a journey from a troubled teenage life to being a youth pastor to now a musician and speaker. I received my BA in Studio Art from Bloomsburg University in PA and worked for many years as a graphic designer. God lead me into ministry with teens initially as a volunteer, and then moved me to attend seminary. I received my MA in Biblical Counseling from Biblical Theological Seminary in PA. Through this journey God brought me to this place in my ministry.

Please contact me when you have a need for someone to speak and you need to look outside of your congregation. I have been speaking and teaching in ministry for over ten years. My talks are always challenging and practical. I am able to speak on a Sunday morning, special event, or a mid-week event.

Retreat Speaker

For the past 20 years I have been designing and leading retreats. I thoroughly enjoy speaking and teaching at a retreat where I am able to incorporate group discussion and interaction between those attending. If you are looking for a retreat speaker that intentionally works at providing small group discussion along with large group sessions, then please contact me for your next retreat.
