Overview
With over 10 years of professional experience singing and playing in Los Angeles, I have a music catalog of over 200 songs, ranging from jazz, blues, country, classic rock, all the way to modern pop. My setup is simple (amplifier (power source/outlet needed), microphone, and guitar) and is fit for groups of up to 150 people. I can also learn songs of your choice for a ceremony/special event! If you’d like an example of what I do, check my profile for my typical cocktail hour/party setlist (up to 4 hours). I love getting the audience involved, telling some bad jokes, and taking requests. Cheers!

Trish, y’all were so much fun!! Thanks for having me in your lovely new space, it was perfect! And I’m so glad it was everything you were hoping for. See you at the next one!
Andrew provided music for my Halloween party. He even learned a bunch of Halloween songs to make it truly a special event and not a raunchy typical type music lineup. He probably did one of the best renditions of the song lollipop that I've ever heard of to the point where I had to do it twice so I could dance with my daughter to it highly recommend!!

We booked Andrew for our Sweater Weather Social for our senior center, and he totally exceeded our expectations.

Thank you, Andrew, for everything! :)

Andrew was phenomenal, we and our friend absolutely loved him and we’d hire him in a heartbeat for our next event.

Andrew played for our wedding reception cocktail hour - he was able to do all of our song requests. He has an incredible voice and sound, the volume was perfect and we received many compliments for his music. Andrew has a great personality, is very amiable and an enjoyable person to work with.

Thank you for that Maryanne! Y’all were such a fun audience, and you made my job easy. Thanks again for having me! Cheers
Our dear father, Papa and Doctor to the Mission Viejo Community recently passed away. The Providence Mission Hospital hosted a wonderful celebration of life honoring Dr Thomas Shaver, MD.
We were fortunate enough to book guitarist Andrew Shubin who played his beautiful music for the service and reception. Andrew’s vibe perfectly captured the feeling we wanted playing favorites of the Beatles, Jimmy Buffett, Rod Stewart, more classics and current country hits … all that Tom truly loved!
We had so many compliments from guests and the staff who enjoyed Andrew’s contribution to this beautiful event.
We hope to book Andrew again in the near future!

Response from Andrew Shubin:
It was truly an honor to play for your father’s memorial. It was such a special day, and I’m glad I could contribute to that. And y’all made a Jimmy Buffet fan out of me! Thanks again for having me, and I hope to see y’all again.
I cannot even begin to say how wonderful Andrew is! His music elevates any event, but truly saved my dinner party. This was a big event for my dad's 70th birthday with an elegant outdoor setting during golden hour. Our chef was 3 hours late, and Andrew stepped in and saved the whole evening. Everyone was hungry and Andrew essentially became the main event. His light hearted humor and ability to read the room was exceeded only by his incredible musical talent. The range of songs was perfect pulling from multiple genres from the Beetles, to classic country, to bossanova, to jazz standards. I cannot say enough good things about Andrew's incredible performance!!

Response from Andrew Shubin:
What an incredible review April, thank you for those words. Days like these are so special and it means the world to have had your trust in that moment, which I know takes a lot. It was so much fun and you all made it easy to keep the energy light. Cheers, and I hope we can all meet again soon!
We were absolutely thrilled to have Andrew perform at our wedding, and we cannot recommend him highly enough! From the moment we first heard his music, we knew that he was the perfect choice to set the tone for our special day.
Andrew brought an unparalleled level of talent, professionalism, and charm to our wedding. His mastery of the guitar was truly mesmerizing, and his performance added an extra layer of magic to our ceremony and cocktail hour.
Not only is Andrew an incredibly skilled musician, but he also possesses a warm and engaging personality that immediately puts everyone at ease. Throughout the planning process, he was a joy to work with, always responsive to our requests and willing to go above and beyond to ensure that everything was perfect. One example of this was when my fiancee and I changed our entrance song to our ceremony no less than three times. Andrew learned each of the songs and played them for us, providing his feedback and being just so incredibly kind and patient with us each time.
On the day of the wedding, Andrew exceeded all of our expectations. His music created the perfect ambiance for our outdoor ceremony and all our guests absolutely raved about him. He also was absolutely integral to our ceremony itself, working with our officiant to make sure everything went smoothly. One of the things that impressed us most about Andrew was his ability to adapt to the flow of the event. He seamlessly transitioned between different parts of the day, always knowing exactly what to play to enhance the moment. It was so incredible to watch.
Our guests were absolutely captivated by Andrew's performance, and many of them commented on how his music elevated the atmosphere of the wedding. His talent and professionalism truly made our day unforgettable, and we are so grateful to have had him be a part of our celebration.
Andrew's extraordinary talent and warm personality make him the perfect choice for anyone looking to create lasting memories on their special day. Thank you, Andrew, for sharing your incredible gift with us!

Andrew did a great job for our company holiday party! At our request he started with acoustic only during the cocktail hour and then did an amazing job singing throughout the rest of the event. He was very communicative throughout the night and the crowd loved him. Nothing but compliments to Andrew! Thank you for a great performance!

Michelle, it was an honor to play for your bridal shower and I’m so pleased to know you had a great experience. Cheers!
We hired Andrew for our wedding in October. He was extremely helpful and accommodating with our requests and our wedding venue. We loved the songs he played. He has a good repertoire and was able to play the specific songs we requested for our entrance and first dance. He also helped us out with making a few announcements and was great on the mic. He has a great sound and our guests really enjoyed his music! We wouldn't hesitate to hire Andrew again.

Response from Andrew Shubin:
That means the world Escarlet :) I’m so glad that your special day felt that way and it was my honor to be a part of it.
Our ceremony space couldn't facilitate amplified music, so we hired Andrew to play acoustically throughout the ceremony processional and recessional. He played plucky Beatles overs which set the perfect mood and was easily recognizable. He was punctual and kind and we felt so lucky to have him. You won't regret hiring Andrew!

Andrew preformed very well we had 15 people from 29 - 65 years of age. We had kids and ours and their friends. Every body enjoyed the entertainment!

Andrew was easy to get ahold of, was on time, and gave one heck of a performance. My guests loved all the songs he performed, he even taught himself songs that I requested in a very short time frame. He made my night memorable. You will not be disappointed if you hire Andrew. I will definitely be reaching out to him if I have any other events. Highly recommend!

Andrew was so easy to work with and even though there were only a couple people left for our cocktail hour - due to the rainy weather - the guests that were left said they loved him and said he was great! Unfortunately, me and my groom couldn't meet him but we heard great things about him! Thank you so much for playing for us even with the bad weather conditions!! We totally appreciate it!

Ashley, thanks so much again for having me, it was such a lovely time and a great event overall!
We couldn’t have asked for a more amazing experience. We hired Andrew for an opening event and his talent, his voice, his song list, the sound level, were the perfect back drop and cornerstone for our event. Andrew’s guitar playing and voice stop you in your tracks and we felt so moved by his music throughout the entire afternoon.
He was punctual, professional, and incredibly warm and friendly. I can’t wait to have a reason to hire Andrew again. Will probably plan a holiday party just so I can :)

About
Growing up in a household in San Clemente, CA with a music teacher as a mother, I very quickly gravitated towards singing at the age of 3, later learning guitar in fifth grade and I’ve never looked back! Entertaining/playing music is what I love to do, and to bring people joy, laughter, or even a good cry warms my heart to no end. I’ve been living in Los Angeles for 4 years now doing music full time (session singing, church, busking, special corporate/private events) and I’m excited to finally be on GigSalad! (Starting date 7/10/22)
Additional Booking Notes
