  • Gerald was amazing - highly recommend!

    Gerald's performance during our welcome drinks/rehearsal dinner was phenomenal, truly elevating the atmosphere of our special evening. Throughout the process, Gerald exhibited professionalism and warmth, reassuring us we had made the perfect choice. We already have a friend who wants to hire him for their rehearsal dinner this summer because they were so impressed with him at ours. I cannot recommend Gerald enough!

  Corporate Event with 200 guests

  New York City, New York

  • Equipment needed

    You would just be outside the venue playing / singing for guests as they're arriving and then you can come into the space about 45 mins in (of the 2 hours) to play background music. Hope that makes sense!

  • Stellar - Would Book Again

    I had come down with a nasty flu the day of the event at which I had booked Anthony to play. I was super out of sorts as a result and very stressed out about every other aspect of the evening. Anthony was incredibly polite both before and during the event; I dare say that he picked up on the fact that I was not functioning at 100% :') and so virtually took care of himself, which was a Godsend. Anthony provided his own amp for the event; all he asked for was a chair and an outlet! This also really showcased his raw talent (he definitely doesn't need the fluff of other band members for you to appreciate his music); he wowed my guests with some really beautiful guitar-playing over the course of the evening. I am thrilled that he was available for this event - clearly! - and look forward to when I can book him again.

  • Great time with Marc at 40th

    Marc came through for me at the last minute and I’m glad he did. A really nice guy and easy to work with. He played guitar for a surprise 40th and it was great. Many guests came up to say how perfect his addition was to the party. Thank you Marc. I would be happy to work with you again !
