Conventions, Cocktail party or a wedding reception, I often perform for one to three hours or after dinner show for a corporate dinner with my own themed rear screen cirque style movie. I am wireless and can stroll about the room or the great pool at Pelican Hill Resort in Newport Coast or Vegas Casino.
I studied classical cello and received a Masters of Music from Bernard Greenhouse(SUNY at StonyBrook) and for 15 years a professional studio cellist with the Sid Sharp strings in Hollywood. We recorded 100's of records for Stevie Wonder, Neil Diamond, Striesand, Jacksons, Manilow, Pointer Sisters, etc,. In the early 90's I reinvented myself into a solo show,Lord of the Cello, and composed a style of symphonic euro pop music. I was alway very creative and enjoyed sculpting in bronze and found building artistic costuming was a joy.. I have combined my heroic costuming with my epic music and have performed all over the world for corporate events, weddings, and concerts. I have performed with Cirque du Soleil and opened for Michael Buble, B-52's, Air Supply, etc,. Recently the Las Vegas Marriott Convention Center held my Bronze Sculpture and and Electric Cello Performance. My large pieces on currently on display in the Lobby.
Power is good but I have generator, lighting, staging, wind and snow machine and a Sprinter van to change in.
