Brad now mostly performs on cruise ships as a solo pianist/vocalist. His first ship was on a European river cruise with Scenic Cruises in March 2016, followed by four Mediterranean cruise contracts onboard the Thomson Spirit, Thomson Celebration and Thomson Dream cruise ships (now called Marella). Then Brad performed multiple contracts with Saga on the Saga Sapphire, Saga Pearl II and Spirit Of Discovery cruise ships between 2017 and early 2020.

Brad has completed his STCW Safety Training and has current ENG1 Medical and Yellow Fever certificates, and a British Seaman’s Book. 

Best suited for elegant bars and lounges, Brad specializes in classic pop songs from the 1960s to 1990s, ballroom dance music, jazz standards, and when required, can play easy-listening instrumentals for background music. 

Brad can play solo piano, piano and vocals, with or without high quality backing tracks. 

Sing-alongs and name-that-tune quizzes are also very popular when he is performing, and with a repertoire of 1000 songs, Brad enjoys taking requests. 

He has a Canadian passport and also a British passport, and is available for long term contracts in hotels in Asia/Middle east, or on cruise ships.
