Bringing live music to your venue
The Story
For 12 years, I performed as a solo guitarist/vocalist and pianist for various cruise lines including 3 years as a soloist with Seabourn, recently rated #1 small cruise line in the world, as well as Holland America, Cunard, and P&O Australia cruise lines. In 2019, I graciously accepted a position on the iconic Queen Victoria as a Queen's Room Vocalist, sharing the stage with the exceptional voice of Mandy Karridge and a fabulous 9 piece orchestra. Highlighting this journey was my time as resident musician at Reithi Rah Resort in the Maldives. Returning to the City of Toledo in 2020, I am now performing all around NW Ohio and the surrounding areas.

Did we sail together?
I have lost touch with so many of you. Social media may have become too toxic, but that does not mean I have forgotten you.
I'm collecting photos and stories from our time at sea. If you've got memories to share, send them to me at derrick@derrickhudson.com.
