Live Music for Private Parties & Celebrations

The milestone celebrations that deserve more than a Spotify playlist. Chris has played 50th-anniversary dinners on Boca Grande, 70th-birthday yacht parties on Tampa Bay, retirement send-offs at Bonnet Springs Park in Lakeland, and intimate fundraisers at private estates in Sarasota and Naples. Repertoire spans Sinatra-era standards, singer-songwriter classics, Top 40, and on-request specials.

Self-contained PA, battery-friendly setup options for waterfront and dockside events, and a one-person footprint that fits any covered patio or yacht main deck. Florida weather contingency plans included — Chris has played through summer rain delays, November cold snaps, and a hurricane evacuation party. No diva moments, no extra-truck load-in, no awkward conversations with the captain.

Solo pianist or guitar-and-vocal for the cocktail hour and silent auction; live looping band sound for the live auction and dance set. Used by Tampa Bay nonprofits, Sarasota hospital foundations, and Lakeland community groups — clean stage presence, donor-room appropriate, no between-song stage banter unless requested.
