LIVE SHOWS:
These days I am only playing select, private shows or events. Here's what I offer: I will play for one hour in your living room. Grab some friends and add a passionate, original set of my favorite songs to play live. I set up the songs with story telling and anecdotes while everyone sits around on the couches and is a part of the show. The show is an old school organic singer/songwriter, story tellers kind of thing with a great candle-lit intimate vibe.
This is my favorite kind of gig and that's why I have decided to exclusively play this way for a while. I will also play select special events like charity events, special wine tasting concerts, or an opening set for an artist like Hall and Oates. I will no longer be playing at bars or clubs at this time so this is the only way to see a live performance. I might look for a gig at a wine bar or something acoustic and chilled out but until then, I'm going to do private events and appearances. After 20 years of paying my dues, I just want to play the kind of show that really makes me happy. Plus, when I'm happy I play better. When the energy is right, that is when the magic happens. More accurately, it's abut the energy exchange that makes it magical. To inquire about price or booking, email: geoffbyrd@mac.com or call: 503.680.8109

There are a few kids and adults that are currently taking the class. Age 12-Adult. There are usually 5-8 people any given Monday.
