Simon YorkBackground: classical training; studied composition and arranging, voice, classical piano, classical guitar;
Recent Contracts: (past three years) Heron Island Resort; Hayman Island Resort; Great Keppel Island Resort; South Mole Island resort; Sails In The Desert Resort Ularoo ( Ayers Rock ); Dunk Island Resort; Horizons Resort Jindabyne; Radisson, Sheraton, Ritz Carlton, Park Royal, Royal Pines Hotels, Gold Coast.
Experience: theatre; moderate success in the pop rock industry; jazz blues; grunge rock; session recording; various bands (theme, covers); more recently performing in Five Start Resorts.
Repertoire: Stylistically varied from Ballads of the Beatles and jazz standards right through to the most recent pop song. Just finished a season in the Ski Fields of Australia doing pub rock (Pearl Jam, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Matchbox Twenty, Dave Matthews, Jamiroquai, type stuff) with Great Response. Piano bar repertoire would include the old classics from Elton John to more recent Darren Hayes through to dance material. Or I can sit on a stool with a nylon string guitar and do smooth stuff from Sting to Jamiroquai or Eric Clapton. Foot stomping stuff or ballads. My strength is that I am extremely versatile yet not lacking in any of the genres mentioned.
