Seasoned professional performer. Can perform multiple styles of music, from Celtic to Classic Rock & Oldies. Folksongs to Light Opera.
Gareth was fun and interactive with the crowd. After the set, he stayed and talked about his music. We will have him back again.
Did a wonderful job
On Aug. 2,2016 the band played at my apartments in an outdoor celebration honoring the police & firemen in the town of Puyallup. It was a 4 piece band. The song selection was excellent, they were on time and performed till the last person left. They specialized in Celtic music but mixed it up with plenty of oldies and folk music to satisfy us all. I would highly recommend this group for your next function . You can't go wrong.

My performances depend on the venue I'm performing at.
I can perform for an eclectic number of situations, from a Renaissance Faire or Folk Festival to Oldies or more contemporary Pop favorites.
From Weddings & Birthdays to Senior Living facilities.
I've done Sea Songs and related music for birthdays and weddings on board ships and ferrys.
I have been performing since the 6th grade, and singing since the 8th grade. I started to learn how to play the drums in the 5th grade, and picked up the guitar when I was 17, and I have been playing and singing for people ever since.
My musical background is very eclectic. I grew up in the late 50s through the 60s listening to Country Western music on the radio when I was young, then graduating to Rock & Roll in 1962. My mother was a huge Benny Goodman fan, so there was a mix of Swing & Jazz, as well as MGM musicals. Both sets of grandparents were Celtic so there was that influence as well. I got hooked on Classical music while watching Warner Brothers cartoons.
I've studied music in High School and University, as well as what I could pick up in various venues and bands that I've performed in. There always seems to be something more to learn.
