Custom private concerts

Your setlist. A real band. A real show.

If you’ve ever wanted to front a band with the lights up and the amps moving air—this is that. Not karaoke. A properly arranged, properly rehearsed performance built around you.

What this is

I’m a touring guitarist and musical director (nearly two decades with The Killers; musical director since 2022). I work with a small number of private clients each year to build a custom live show backed by a full professional band.

What you can do on stage

  • sing lead or share vocals
  • play guitar or keys
  • join the band on selected songs
  • or simply shape the show as the “artist” and host

The goal is confidence through preparation: the right key, the right parts, the right pacing, the right support.

Who it’s for

People who love music and want the real version of the experience—done with taste and high standards.

Booking: limited availability, by inquiry only.

The process

From idea to performance

  • 1 Curate the setlist. We choose songs you love and build a show that fits your voice and comfort level.
  • 2 Arrange it properly. Keys, tempos, medleys, and parts are tailored so the music supports you.
  • 3 Assemble the band. I hire seasoned touring/session players—people who show up ready.
  • 4 Rehearse with coaching. A few focused days: transitions, cues, confidence, and stagecraft.
  • 5 Play the show. A private performance for friends, family, or guests—your night, executed at a pro level.
This isn’t karaoke. It’s a real band with real arrangements—built around your goals and delivered with professional standards.

When you email, include: your city, preferred timeframe, rough song list, and whether you want to sing, play, or both.
