My clients gets a professional, accomplished guitarist whose goal is not to meet but exceed expectations. My approach is old school: charge a fair price, return phone calls in a timely fashion, shows up early for events, dress appropriately, takes short (if any) breaks and thoroughly entertain my audience with unique acoustical guitar interpretations from the American songbook. That's why 75% of my engagements are either repeat business or referrals from satisfied customers. I am driven to make your event unique and memorable.
Rick Iacoboni makes events memorable by providing entertaining and engaging music on his 6- and 12 -string guitars. He has played guitar professionally for more than 25 years. For more than 15 years he was a member and leader of one of Northeast Ohio’s most popular private occasion bands, having performed at over 1,000 special events. He has performed at 2,000+ engagements over the past 13 years as a soloist.
Rick’s acoustic guitar music is perfect for weddings, birthday parties, anniversaries, corporate events, fund raisers, reverse raffles, holiday parties, arts festivals and wine tasting events. His music ranges from Sinatra / Elvis / Temptations TO Beatles / Eagles / Buffet / Marley TO Michael Jackson / REM / Police TO Bruno Mars / Rihanna / Lewis Capaldi / Ed Sheeran / Train / Adele.
What makes Rick unique is his ability to go from pop to reggae to classic rock to classical to jazz – and back again! His musical interpretations of diverse works help create the right mood for an already-special occasion. His unique sound combines classical, jazz and contemporary styling -- creating an ambiance that people truly appreciate.
Rick’s portable wireless set-up enables him to move freely during the course of an engagement. He can set-up in a gazebo or an outdoor patio, and move indoors. Others use him for cocktail music in a lobby and later move him inside the dining hall for dinner music.
Whatever the occasion, you set the table – and Rick Iacoboni will set the mood!
I provide a wireless, high fidelity, auxillary speaker for events spread out through multiple rooms at a venue; or when guests are both inside and outside a venue. This enables my acoustic guitar music to be enjoyed in two places at the same time without having to pay for an extra musician. Please note there is a slight upcharge for this speaker.
