I do Private Parties, Weddings and anything requiring positive energy and a relaxed, as well as healing environment.
Andrew is a close friend of my husband and I's. We hired him as our entertainment for our wedding in 2021. He was a crowd hit, everyone loved his music and his interpretation on mainstream songs. He has a very unique and soulful voice with a gentle heart. We could not have had a better person to perform on our special day. Not only is he an amazing artist, but he's a fantastic human as well.
Our experience with Andrew was like no other! We heard Andrew perform at a local bar & we knew right then and there we needed him for our special day. He provided an amazing pre ceremony performance & did acoustic guitar for our actual ceremony music. Not to mention he was very professional & easy to communicate with. You’d be crazy if you didn’t book him!!
Andrew traveled out to Lipan Point, Grand Canyon, to play at my elopement. His songs were romantic and set the perfect ambiance for our moment!
Response from Andrew Daniel Cates:
Thank you so much, I appreciate you.
My wife and I hired Andrew to play for our rehearsal dinner before our wedding in Sedona, and we couldn't have found a better performer for our event. Andrew isn't just a great guitarist and singer, he's a genuinely awesome human being who cares very much about providing the best performance for your event. He plays a great collection of songs, but would always take requests. Leading up to our wedding, Andrew was very communicative about planning the set list and understanding what our goals were with our event. And our friends told us after that he was a highlight of our whole wedding weekend. If you're looking for a great singer and guitarist for your event, I would definitely recommend Andrew! Cool vibes, great attitude... truly like and old friend performing just for you.

Thank you Patrick
It was an honor and a day to remember. Grateful and wishing you and your lady all the best!
Sincerely,
Andrew
Hired Daniel for a private backyard wedding. He was super easy to work with and affordable for my wife and I. Daniel made sure the songs he suggested were ok with us. They were! We, and the guests, loved the songs he played and the little touches he put into them. He also told a few funny anecdotes between some songs. It felt like an old friend playing our wedding and we were, and are, extremely grateful for his professionalism, musicianship and overall friendly vibe that he provided for our special day! Highly recommended.
Andrew was on time and even customized one of his songs for us! We loved every minute of his music.
My wife and I met Andrew about 8 months ago when he was playing at one of our local breweries. We loved his music so much we asked him if he would play our wedding. We set it up and stayed in touch to ensure out vision was met. Andrew was an absolute hit at the wedding. We used him for ceremony and dinner. He did his acoustic rendition of our songs and knocked it out of the park. Many friends and family have inquired abiut using him at their events. Glad we met. Glad he did our wedding. Glad we have become friends.
My husband and I hired Andrew to perform the music for our small intimate wedding in Sedona at la'berge de Sedona resort. Andrew was very accommodating and flexible from the get-go. He is reasonably priced as well. He did everything possible to ensure that we had a magical experience. I was able to give him some music of my own and he was able to put his own spin on it and perform it for us perfectly. I also gave him the go-ahead to play his own written music as well and everything that he sang and played fit the vibe that we were going for. He was very kind and very professional. We liked him so much that we have kept in contact with him still after our wedding, and he has become a friend of ours. My husband and I would highly recommend Andrew to perform for anyone's special event. He will not disappoint.
Response from Andrew Daniel Cates:
So happy for you Brooke.
Thank you and wishing you all the best!
Love,
Andrew
I really can’t say enough about Andrew as a performer. He had great communication, showed up early, stayed late, and was an amazing performer. He played a mix between some of his own music and a twist on some Christmas classics that were amazing. It was the best Christmas party we have had in 25 years. I would absolutely hire him again for any event. He had a smooth sound that made you want to settle back and listen all night. I’m trying to think of another party I could have him play at!
Response from Andrew Daniel Cates:
Wow! Thanks Christine for thr amazing feedback. It was my pleasure to be your entertainer entertainer really happy y'all had a good time. It brought a lot of joy to me and was a beautiful night! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
We hired Andrew to provide music for a Grand Opening celebration. He was wonderful to work with and even went out of his way to get the appropriate licensing to perform at the location. I can't recommend him enough - we had great feedback about his music, and he was one of the easiest musicians to work with that I've hired this year. If you're thinking of picking him for your gig, you can't go wrong!
Response from Andrew Daniel Cates:
Wow! Thank you Sarah!
I had a great experience and saw a lot of smiles on the people's faces which was beautiful to see.
It was a cheerful day and the employees even loved it.
So, thank you very much.
I look forward to more events in the future if you need me!
Sincerely,
Andrew
Wow, what an incredible voice. You sound better than Tim McGraw.
Response from Andrew Daniel Cates:
Wow! Thank You Cristina!
I really appreciate that. Makes my heart happy you enjoyed the music!
Much love your way!
Sincerely,
Andrew Daniel Cates
Andrew played for our Grand Canyon wedding - and he was amazing! He played our requests and some of his original songs. Even the park visitors were applauding him - and we ended up staying later to dance to his mini-concert. Our wedding party loved him - we even invited him to our reception! A friendly and talented performer - I highly recommend him.
Response from Andrew Daniel Cates:
Thank You for blessing me Christy! That was my first time to the Grand Canyon and it was very special for me to be your entertainer on a beautiful day!
I wish you and Jean a very beautiful union and all the love and blessings as well.
Thank you for the review!
Sincerely,
Andrew
Andrew really added a whole new wonderful dimension to our private party event. Guests loved his music, as did we! We highly recommend him for any private event, party or wedding.
Response from Andrew Daniel Cates:
Thank you Whitney for your review and kind words and everything. Really happy everyone had a good time abd made your event extra special. It was a beautiful day!
Daniel played the guitar during our ceremony for our elopement style wedding in Sedona. He was very communicative and reliable and provided great music and vocals to add to our special day.
Andrew was very personable and easy going and very helpful when part of our sound system went down in the slideshow for our daughter’s funeral. His songs were beautiful and everything we asked for plus more was accommodated in a wonderful way. He added a touch to the service that was appreciated.
Andrew Daniel Cates performed at my parent’s house for my father’s retirement party. It couldn’t have gone better! Music was great, he interacted with the crowd and was very personable. Would love to see him play again!
Response from Andrew Daniel Cates:
Thank you Kristin! I'll never forget the special time! Would love to perform for you all again!
Andrew is the full package. Captivating, charming, humorous, entertaining. His music brings love, smiles and joy into a room. His music is real life and it touches the audience deeply.
Friggin awesome!
Andrew is one of the most prolific and profound singer-songwriters of our time. His personal approach to his songwriting and performance style can mesmerize an audience. If you have not experienced Andrew's music, you are truly missing something very special.
His music is blue-grass acoustic and you can 100 percent know he wrote the music because getting to know his heart that is where he chooses to LIVE!
I miss seeing him!

I’ve been lucky enough to hear Andrew sing and play the guitar multiple times both in a just chilling around a campfire jam session and at a live show. He is extremely talented and is an amazing guitar player. He loves to engage with the audience which makes his shows that much more fun. I would 10/10 recommend Andrew’s music to anyone.
