James Duchon

Please allow me to add a special touch to your event with music that can be soft, soothing and romantic or lively and fun. My song list is diverse. I can perform music from genres of jazz, classical, pop, or rock; From Jimmy Buffett to Beethoven; from Zeppelin to Sinatra. I can perform music instrumentally or sung. I sing songs from Jazz standards to more contemporary artists like John Mayer and Jack Johnson. Whatever your occasion, I have the music to suit your needs. I attained my bachelors degree in music education from the University of Toledo in Ohio. While pursuing my degree, I studied classical guitar under the guidance of Amy Brucksch (Dept. Director). I have attended National Guitar Workshop master classes in Connecticut that featured the amazing Sergio and Odair Assad, Antigoni Goni, and Nathaniel Gunod. I have attended the International Guitar Workshop at Stetson University in DeLand, FL where Oscar Ghilia performed and gave a master class. Also, I have taken private lessons from Jeff LaQuatra. In addition to performing as a musician, I also DJ. You may find my DJ webpage if you scroll to the bottom of this page. Under "Related Press Kits" there is a link to: JC Productions. I currently reside in New Smyrna Beach, FL where I perform at many local venues. Recent gigs include: playing aboard the 70 ft. sailboat Schooner Freedom while under way in St. Augustine. I played at a VIP event at the Daytona International Speedway. I opened for Herman's Hermits in Hollywood,FL. I was also hired to perform as a singing telegram for the girlfriend of an overseas military officer. God Bless our troops!
