Price Range: $650 - $2000
Gig Length: 40 - 180 minutes
Languages: English
Unions: AFM NYC Local 802
As a solo guitarist, I can perform on any size stage.
If needed or desired I can provide a 4' x 8' banner similar to my profile logo to hang behind me.
I dress stylishly in coat and tie with an Havana style hat, playing a visually stunning sunburst Sadowsky guitar through a high quality Henriksen amplifier.
I play songs from the Bossa Nova canon, playing instrumental guitar arrangements of such standards as: The Girl From Ipanema, Dindi, So Danco Samba, So Nice, Blue Bossa, One Note Samba, Black Orpheus, Little Boat, Lucky Southern, and Wave.
"Cozy Cole" Smithey builds on a lifetime of musical experience (playing in bands such as San Diego's "Rockin’ Dogs," and with New York City Jazz guitar legends Ed Maceachen and Ron Parmentier) to follow a 30-year dream of performing solo instrumental guitar arrangements from Bossa Nova's timeless canon of exquisite songs for your live listening pleasure.
Cozy Cole exclusively plays Sadowsky guitars through Henriksen amps. Special thanks to Roger Sadowsky.

MEMBER: American Federation of Musicians Union — NYC Local 802.
Ideal if a house PA is available, but can play most average size venues with my own 120watt amplifier.
No special lighting or staging is required, but three spot lights are welcome if available. I require 6' x 6' of space, preferably situated in a well suited place of prominence in the room. If event is outdoors, shelter (such as a tent) is necessary, with proper weather-proof electrical equipment. In the event of weather, venue must have indoor option available.
