Hello, I am a violinist who has not played for a while, but I am looking to get started again.

I am interested in celtic, bluegrass, and or classical. I am a mother and wife in my 40s, but I welcome anyone who is interested in practicing in the Deale, West River, or Shady Side areas.

Versatile Pianist/Singer, Available for your Event! (Maryland, NoVA, PA)

2009-12-04T07:20:56-05:00

LET ME PLAY FOR YOUR HOLIDAY PARTY, YOUR COCKTAIL PARTY, YOUR BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION, YOUR WEDDING ANNIVERSARY!

I will play ALL your HOLIDAY FAVORITES in many styles! You can SING-ALONG, DANCE, CHAT, SHOUT, SWING FROM CHANDELIERS. Do whatever you feel like! It is all good with me!
I PLAY ALL THE HOLIDAY CLASSICS from Nat King Cole, Bing Crosby, Donnie Hathaway, Low Rawls, Eartha Kitt, Charlie Brown, Alvin & the Chipmunks, etc.

I ALSO CAN PLAY complete programs in various styles, like JAZZ, COUNTRY, DIXIELAND, POP, LATIN, BEACH, R&B and I will mix it up if you like... a little of this and a little of that!

I am a professional musician with 35 years of pro experience, having performed with the United States Navy Band for 10 years and, most recently, having performed for scores of dinner parties, ball room dances, sing-along, holiday parties, birthday parties, and in one-man concerts and doo-wop revivals, and Atlantic City.

I play a fantastic keyboard that allows me to sound like everything from a 60-piece orchestra to a 17-piece big band to a band reminiscent of Lawrence Welk to a down-home country band to a kickin' R&B band, to a foot-stompin' polka band and even a spirit-rousing marching band! And I don't need much room to set up! Stick me in a corner, behind a potted plant, on a stage, but not too close to the fireplace, please! (If it is in use, that is...) and I can continually adjust the keyboard's volume to suit the changing social setting. A full house?...pump up the volume; just a hand-full for dinner?....ease it on down to whisper.

Of course, I will play your piano, if that is what you prefer, but please have it in good working order and freshly-tuned!

This is not karaoke! I am playing every song and singing with my own background harmonies in all songs that I sing!

I truly provide VARIETY!

I still have dates available, but HURRY, the schedule is filling up, very quickly!

I am a lively, humorous performer; I SING (in-tune) with harmonies; PLAY PIANO in many styles to an excellent degree; and truly LOVE bringing JOY into people's lives!
I can play jazz, country, pop, rock, Latin, polkas, cha-chas, you name it!
I will play for intimate, candle-light dinners-for-two (and I won't peek!); birthday parties for adults and senior adults; reunions for families; company parties; organization get-togethers, picnics; whatever!

PLEASE, CALL ME at 410-841-4344 to schedule your next great event! Thanks! Bob .....visit my site: www.noteworthyconnection.com

YOU Need a Female Vocalist..I am Seasoned (Annapolis)

2009-11-22T10:12:18-05:00

With all due respect to the readers of this ad, if you are looking for a singer, click the next ad.

If you want a vocalist that can take your band to the next level, then look no further. I have my own mic an SM58 and mic cable, well 2 of each actually..

Have me over to sing live as a demo or I can shoot you some MP3s. My range is pretty extensive, can do country, rock, classic rock, bubble gum and Specialty Singers...I can REALLY belt it out with excellent mic and voice control. You won't get nasal from me unless that is what is IN the song. I am very true to the style of the Artist I am singing at the moment. This does not mean I don't rock the hell out... I DO!

Hardest for me are "Soft Pretty Floaty" voices like- Mariah Caery, Barbra Streisand, Celine Dion, Alison Kraus, Kate Bush.

Easy for me is Cher, Bonnie Raitt, Pink, Avril Lavigne, JoDee Messina, Donna Summer, Tina Turner, Amy Lee, Belinda Carlisle, Reba McEntire, Joan Jett, Lita Ford, Madonna, Shania Twain, Gwen Stefani, Amy Mann ('Til Tuesday), Sheryl Crow, Alanis Morisette, Blondie, Vanessa Carlton, Lulu, Linda Ronstadt, Ashley Simpson, Jennifer Warren..so many others, oh SOME Heart songs too! This should encompass all genres, styles, and vocal abilities. If I don't know a song, I will learn it in less than 48 hours.

Me - attractive, tall, have great stage presence, have dark great rock and roll hair with a witchy look, costumes, and involve the audience with a good show.

There are some good ideas floating around in this head of mine, as well as my Manager that has some plans in the works - I just need the band.

Hope that piques your interest, PLEASE contact me if I sound like a good fit for your style. Would love to discuss further,

Ciao!

Guitar Lessons - Learn Guitar and have fun doing it! (Annapolis)

2009-11-20T15:53:46-05:00

I've been playing guitar for over 15 years. Have played in several bands. I have composed music for television series for Discovery Networks and HGTV. I have experience taking lessons with studio "pro" musicians and have learned what to do and what not to do when teaching. I like to understand the goals of the guitarist and provide custom lessons to tailor fit them.
If you want to learn how to play a few of your favorite songs and no more, I can help you with that. If you want to learn to play blues, I can teach you that too. Or, if your goal is to become a guitar god, I'll help lead you to that sacred land.

No matter what we do, playing guitar is suppose to be fun. I can guarantee that you'll have a fun time learning guitar.
If you're just beginning or you're the intermediate who is getting frustrated, contact me, I'll work around your schedule the best I can.

I offer 1 hour lessons at $30/hr. $15/half hour.

Contact me and let's get rolling on this!
