Why it works
Background music people actually notice
At a conference cocktail hour, guests are arriving, grabbing drinks and catching up after a day of travel. Familiar songs from the 80s, 90s and early 2000s set the mood without taking over the conversation.
When it's time to celebrate, the set moves up a gear for sing-alongs and crowd favorites.

Absolutely Perfect!Corporate
James was fantastic and perfect for our outdoor corporate dinner event. Not only did he play guitar well, but he was a fantastic singer. Everyone loved the variety of genres he played. It was hard not to sing along.
★★★★★
Phenomenal, Professional and Charismatic Performer
James was the perfect addition to our get together! James has a beautiful voice and customized his play list based on the group's preferences and requests. James even accommodated all last minute changes on our end, and was flexible with scheduling. James was extremely prompt, and brought everything he needed to the event, we didn't have to provide a single thing. It was a really special event and night our family will never forget.

Corporate packages are $950 (Essential), $1,450 (Full Event) and $1,950+ (Signature). Private parties start at $650.
Can you work with the resort's event team?
Yes. James confirms load-in, parking, power and a day-of contact with you or the venue's event staff before the date.
