Exceptional Music for Newport Beach Events

Newport Beach occupies a singular place on the Southern California coast — a harbor town where world-class wealth meets an effortlessly casual waterfront lifestyle. The yachts bobbing in the harbor, the golden sunsets over Balboa Island, the pristine resort grounds at Pelican Hill — every detail here speaks to a community that values quality without pretension. That sensibility demands entertainment that can move gracefully between elegant and relaxed, and that's exactly what I deliver.

I've performed at select venues in Newport Beach, including The Resort at Pelican Hill and Newport Beach Country Club, and am available throughout the area. Whether it's a black-tie reception in a grand ballroom, a sunset ceremony on the bay, or a spirited cocktail hour aboard a private yacht, I tailor every set to match the atmosphere and energy your guests expect. My repertoire spans jazz standards and classical pieces through today's pop and rock hits, all performed live on piano and vocals.

Based in San Diego, I travel to Newport Beach regularly for events. There are no surprise travel fees — just transparent pricing and the kind of dependable professionalism that Newport Beach events require.
