Did you know that Utah has bridal expos virtually every. single. month? As an #event violinist, #weddings account for a large number of my gigs.

We have mountains, valleys, snow, sand... you name it, we can probably find it. So, you might be asking, why don't I advertise at expos? Well, let me tell ya a little story.

I don't love how the lines at stores are 90% longer (and slower), or how freezing cold it is outside all the time. But I DO love how the season is centered around service. . . and it doesn't hurt that there's an abundance of amazing Christmas #music. Speaking of service, I have an exciting opportunity coming up in a couple of weeks. I received a phone call from a previous client yester

Last month, I came up against a situation that tested my limits as an event violinist in every conceivable way. Fortunately for you, it makes for a #hilarious #new story! When Bob [all names have been changed] contacted me about playing for a corporate dinner in Park City, I was thrilled.
