INTRODUCTION
I have recently moved to the Albuquerque area from St Louis MO where I have been a life long resident until July of 2022. Since then, I have been freelancing as a solo act in the ABQ area performing in over 40 senior facilities and local restaurants. I offer a one-man-band act or I can collaborate with other entertainers. I am looking forward to entertaining in Northern New Mexico. 


I recently joined an Allman Brothers Cover band, One More Silver Dollar Band. We play breweries, clubs, fairs, special events, and concert venues in the Albuquerque area. See the feature page in this website.

KEYBOARDS/VOCALS
I am available to play any type of event, private parties, corporate events, weddings, restaurants, special events. I can be the center of attention or I can be background music. Sometimes clients will want me to play on their piano to create an intimate atmosphere. Or, for events that require more energy, I can bring my state-of-art keyboard system and deliver my “One-Man-Band act.” I can also bring other musicians to create and duo or trio group if needed. I will be happy to discuss your entertainment goals.

REPERTOIRE
With over 30 years experience playing in various groups and situations, I have a very wide repertoire of music that spans 100 years from 1910 to today. My music includes songs from a wide spectrum of genres including but not limited to: R&B, Motown, Blues, Classic Rock, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, Rock. My standards repertoire includes: Swing, Jazz Standards, Show Tunes, from the 20s 30s, 40s, 50s. You will find me involved in a number of different projects at any given time.

EXPERIENCE
In the St Louis area I have performed for various events over the last 30 years including, civic events, country clubs, hotels, charity events, wineries, restaurants, clubs. I have been entertaining our seniors since 2008. I have performed in over 220 nursing homes and senior centers through out the St Louis area. My clients include all the major senior facilities in the St Louis area. I have also worked with various high profile bands in and around the St Louis area.

I look forward to serving your entertainment needs in the Albuquerque area.

We rehearsed for several sessions to get our mojo back. Brian also arranged recording studio time to lay down some tracks. On the final day of the reunion many of our fans were invited to hear us play some songs again. About 20 Willie Makit attended the Saturday party.
