Adam Rice was extremely in touch with the kind of music, the mood of the crowd, & the expectation of what was desired! His voice & musical abilities were flawless!
Adam was a huge part of making our wedding one of the best nights of our lives, and I feel many in the room would wholeheartedly agree. We could not have asked for a better performer, musician, DJ, and all else that Adam does so well! Adam is completely independent, and perfection is just part of the package he offers. We needed 3 separate locations covered as we migrated from ceremony on the beach, to cocktail hour in the courtyard, to an all night dance party DJ inside, and Adam seemed to always be one step ahead waiting for us to arrive to the show. THANK YOU for being so very professional, talented, accommodating, and overall everything we needed and more.

Adam did a great job at our daughter's graduation. There was such a diverse crowd and Adam catered to everyone. We would definitely hire Adam again.

Adam played at my 50th birthday party - straight through for four hours without missing a beat. He was fantastic, super easy to work with, and has an incredibly diverse catalog of songs (and genres) that he is ready to play. Many of my guests commented on how much they enjoyed Adam's playing.
Singing Guitarist
Adam stepped in with less than 24 hours notice after the singer I hired cancelled the day before for my fathers 80th birthday. Adam arrived early and was all set up and ready to go when I arrived to the venue. He played a wide variety of music and helped with announcements throughout the party. He was super easy to work with and was very entertaining. Highly recommend!
One Man Band
Adam was the best!

Adam was a great addition to a backyard BBQ. He played pretty much the entire time I hired him for. People loved the live music and many asked where I found him- happy to share!
Singing Guitarist
We recently had a brewery wedding celebration/ going away party. We had Adam play mostly country music and he was amazing. He fit in perfectly with the vibe of the party. He played all of the songs we requested and added some variety of his own. He was also able to accommodate extra time, which we requested because he was so good. Highly recommend. We would absolutely use him again.
This review is about a month overdue but I could not let any more time go by without writing my review of Adam's performance at my daughter's wedding ceremony on October 3, 2021. Adam arrived as planned and played all of my daughters requested songs with professionalism and expertise. It was an outdoor ceremony on the waterfront and there was not one problem with sound and he could be hear by all 135 guests in attendance. His music added so much to the joy we were already feeling and I cannot say enough about how happy we were that he was there. We were all so swept up in the day and list of "be here" & "do that" and the only time we were able to express our thanks and appreciation was between pictures and on our way to the cocktail hour. We will most definitely keep you in mind for future events.
Thank you you so much Adam, you are blessed with a gift. Ann & Ron Smith.

We hired Adam to sing/play guitar for our wedding ceremony and he did an amazing job-plus all of my guests and wedding coordinator said he was fantastic. My planning for songs totally fell through the cracks and I forgot to email him by the deadline for song requests but he came through and played what he knew and I couldn’t be more thankful! I also requested he played for us through our pictures and he stayed (through the rain) to play for us. HUGE THANKS!
Guitarist
Adam is a truly talented guitarist! I strongly recommend him. He was punctual, professional and very entertaining. We can’t wait to use him again

Adam recently performed for us at a small backyard event. From the booking process through the event, he was personable, profession, accommodating. His library of music that he performed was incredible. We can't wait to have another reason to have him play again! We highly recommend Adam for any event you may be planning!

Can’t be better!
Singing Guitarist
Adam was great. He was on time sounded awesome! Everyone at the event enjoyed him. The only complaint I’ve Been hearing from everyone is he didn’t interact with the crowd. They pretty much all thought he didn’t have much of a personality, crowd wise too business like.
Adam was great, played for 3 hrs straight at our business cocktail party, would hire him again in a heartbeat,
Guitarist
Adam Rice was absolutely fantastic. Adam showed up to our event and played for the full 3 hours. He understood the type of event and played exactly what was expected. People at the party stated that having Adam was a perfect compliment to our event. His play list was perfect and was executed with just as much perfection. His singing and playing ability was top notch
Country Singer, Wedding Singer
Adam did a great job! He played for a 30th birthday party of about 20 people in a house. Would hire again!
We booked Adam for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. We could not have been happier with our decision. Firstly Adam is very flexible and easy to work with, the booking process was all done via email and he is very quick to respond to any questions or requests. Adam traveled several hours to our wedding and their was no astronomical extra fee for his travel. His prices are more then reasonable! He is an incredibly talented artist and we got so many compliments on his performance! The only thing I regret is not booking him for longer, I think my guest would have enjoyed him playing during dinner. Look no further and book with Adam , we will not let you down!
Guitarist, Singer/Songwriter, Singing Guitarist
Adam Rice provided background music (guitar and singing) for our nonprofit event and did a fantastic job. He was on time (early acutally), well prepared, and professional. He played for over 2 hours without taking a break and had great energy. His song choices were perfect for what we needed and he has a beautiful singing voice-he even took requests! If you are ever looking for a wide variety of music, great guitar playing and a smooth versatile voice; Adam is your guy. We couldn't be more satisfied!

Adam performed for our organization's 25th Anniversary Celebration. He was the highlight of the party and sounded fantastic. I was thoroughly impressed with his sound, promptness, and professionalism. I would hire him again without reservation.
