(link hidden)io: bass and drums; bass and vocals; bass and another instrument: piano, trumpet, sax, etc.
4.Quartet: the standard format of guitar, bass and drums with another instrument or vocalist.
5.Quintet: A quartet formation +1

Typical gigs for me range between solo to trio format.

I have been playing guitar professionally close to 30 years focusing primarily on jazz in and around the Charlotte region. Gigs have ranged from solo guitar to duo and trio; quartet and quintet; with and without vocals. The material I play ranges from jazz standards to pop and rock tunes. The emphasis for me is being in the moment and trying to create something new and exciting every time I play. Hopefully for the listener that comes across in the music. Restaurants, bars, convention halls, etc. I have played every type of venue under all sorts of conditions: weddings, corporate parties, private parties, and always strive to bring my best to the client.

Because the music I play is instrumental I don't require a sound system or PA at any of my gigs. If a vocalist was requested then a PA would be required. Lighting is not a big deal either. The only thing I request is that in the event of an outdoor gig, particularly when the weather is hot, is that there be a tent covering the band.
