StephenSunshine Singer Guitarist from Brooklyn, NY

Guitarist and singer. An empath. A music lover. A people lover. I've spent my life and made my modest living traveling around the world meeting people and playing songs for them. I've picked up several hundreds of songs over the years a deep mix of classics; rock n roll, folk, jazz, Irish, country, bossa nova and pop. I'm a singer/guitarist that can be intimate, vulnerable and also rock. A choir boy and a blues man. I also perform instrument guitar without singing: A mix of classical, jazz and Brazilian music. Often I am asked to do both vocal and instrumental music at different parts of longer parties, vocal music generally being more engaging and instrumental being more atmospheric. I am able to play completely unplugged in intimate settings and events like wedding ceremonies and living room parties. I am able to run playlists through my PA and some DJ somewhat between sets and at special moments especially if it is planned for in advance. I have different size PA equipment for different locations (small room, big hall, out door) I am able to offer my PA for speeches and I am comfortable MCing events if requested in advance. I play regular weekly gigs in NYC pubs as well regional festivals, weddings, parties and corporate events. I also tour in the South, North East, and Europe. I sing and strum in Boston's #1 eleven piece Irish band, Slainte' Of the 150 annual performances I do most are solo. However, I do often work in ensembles. Subject to availability, for your event I can form a duos and trios with some of NYC's finest violinist, drummers, horn players, bassists and female duet singers.
