Time To Cool Down By The Pool

A pool or beach day is a mini vacation – family time to remember.

Your club members will love hearing live music poolside, at the clubhouse, on the beach, at wine pairings – at all of your events. Music powered by Glen Roethel – a unique 5-star entertainer, beloved coast to coast – takes your unforgettable experiences to the next level, drawing club members and their guests back for more again and again.

Get the best performer & the perfect soundtrack.

You've brought in other performers, but...

...it's always been a gamble...until now. Glen Roethel is a performer who is requested repeatedly for conference after-parties, trade-show entertainment, country clubs, private parties, retreats, and more. In addition, he regularly accompanies Sloan Wainwright on guitar and vocals (Sloan is "The Voice" of the Wainwrights – an acclaimed family of musical artists: brother Loudon Wainwright III, sister-in-law Kate McGarrigle, nephew Rufus Wainwright, and nieces Martha Wainwright and Lucy Wainwright Roche). And Sloan says: 

"I love singing with you, Glen!"
~ Sloan Wainwright
