Baby Boomer performing hits. Classic rock, Pop, popular songs that everyone knows and loves. Lots of easy Iistening as well as upbeat rockers. Always complimented on playing songs that get people singing along.
I asked Les to provide music for my parent's 30th Anniversary Party. He was incredibly responsive to my outreach and very friendly. We had an opportunity to speak on the phone, and discuss the details of the event, and I was able to make special song requests. He started off the party very relaxed and mellow, and throughout the night provided great energy for a fun party! I would hire him again in a heartbeat! Very professional, easy to work with, and allowed me the opportunity to sing my parent's wedding song for their "first dance." He also allowed me to use his microphone for our toast and other announcements which was super helpful! He played a great mix of music, and many of the guests called me afterward to compliment Les.
Response from Les Goldberg:
Thank you so much! Happy to be a part of it!
Les arrived right on time and from the minute he plugged in the party jumped alive. Everyone was up and dancing singing along and having the time of their lives. People called us just to express how much fun they had and how the music was just so amazing. Les we can't thank you enough for making our gathering a hit of the summer. Looking forward to having you back

As unobtrusive as you would want me to be. I can be the soundtrack to an intimate event, ot be more aggressive at a celebration. I'm very aware of how people are mingling and adapt my song selection and volume to suit the moment. If people are conversing I will be respectful of that and keep volume down. Too often I've heard that musical acts have played way too loud. I'd rather be told to turn it up than to turn it down.
Accomplished guitarist/singer. I have played hundreds of gigs. Wineries, pubs, private celebrations of any type with a huge and diverse repertoire. Lots of Beatles, America, Jackson Browne, Neil Young, Tom Petty, Eagles and 60s-90s hits. Extremely diverse repertoire.
