Aryk was great! He was very professional in all my dealings with him, showed up on time and my guests really enjoyed his performance. Love his voice and his ability to create a very full sound with his guitar and the looping he does. I'll hire him again for sure!

So great having Aryk play at our retail store over the weekend. He was a good communicator, showed up early to setup and really was good at reading the crowd to figure out what music was right for the vibe. Love having him and will definitely be booking again!

I am so happy I hired Aryk for my mom's 56th surprise birthday party. The ambience he was able to create made the night! His voice is amazing and the way he is able to loop beats makes it sound like he was a full band with him. He was responsive every step of the way and very easy going as I rushed around trying to make sure everything was set up to surprise her. I will definitely be giving him a call if I ever have a future event!
Thanks again Aryk!

We celebrated our 25th Wedding Anniversary. Aryk entertained us with his smooth R&B cover songs from our past. It made it a very special night. Thanks for being a part of our magical moments in time.

Where to start... It was a pleasure having Aryk perform at my wife's 40th surprise B-day cocktail party. The performance was very special, Aryk's guitar playing and vocals are phonemical, all of our guests loved him. He has a wide range of hits, genre to genre, had it covered beautifully. Great attitude, really nice, talented and humble dude. He made the evening unforgettable. Will definitely have him back again. Thanks Arik!

Aryk was amazing, we had a small backyard wedding and dinner and he played for both. He was accommodating, and his music stylings were just what we needed. Several of our guests commented on how good he was, too. Thank you so much Aryk!

Response from Aryk Crown:
Ilana's intimate wedding celebration was great to play for. She was a great host and very on top of her game. As a musician, it's a huge relief to have such great organization. The songs she requested were also a nice change of pace from the standard wedding selections.
I honestly don’t know where to start, Aryk went above and beyond to make my evening special for my wife and I. He communicated with me every step of the way thinking of little details that made the biggest differences.
His song selection was on point with everything we talked about. His attention to detail is unmatched and musical talents are beyond belief. Beyond Aryk being extremely musically and vocally gifted he also took the time to engage with us.
There are not enough great things I can say him. He exceeded every expectations and I no doubt will be hiring him in the future if he’s available. Stop looking and book the man before you no longer can.

Response from Aryk Crown:
Sebastian and his wife Jessica were wonderful to play for and are lovely folks. He was great with communication and they were both extremely welcoming. I can't say enough good things about these two.
Aryk was super! He was very responsive and organized; texting me about song list and weeks prior to my event to ensure everything was good. He appeared on time and was ready to start entertaining right on time. During my event, he performed beautifully and all my guests kept asking me for his name and said he was great!
I would highly recommend Aryk!!!

Response from Aryk Crown:
Edie was a great host! Great with communicating and made sure I had what I needed in order to set up and play with ease. It was an absolute pleasure to play for her and her family.
I hired Aryk to perform some love song covers for a Valentine's Day event for our office and it was a great time! Aryk is talented with the guitar and has an incredibly soulful voice which fit the mood for his performance on Zoom. It was acoustic, intimate, and lovely. He also has great energy talking and interacting with our employees and would def hire him again!

Response from Aryk Crown:
Thanks Ren! It was a pleasure to play for you all.
Aryk is a great singer and guitarist and he did a really great performance in my engagement party. I was so happy with his performance, his patience and humility. Look no further if you are looking for the best in this field. Thank you Aryk.

I had Aryk play for my wife’s birthday. He was really great in providing options for a set list of both his own songs as well as covers. My wife, our guests, and myself were all blown away with his talents. His original songs are fantastic, and his interpretation of classic covers add that touch of nostalgia with a current flair. We will definitely be having Aryk back again!

Response from Aryk Crown:
Weston and his crew were the most gracious of hosts. Great communication, accommodating, and a wonderful host. It was an honor to be able to provide some live music for his crew.
Aryk and his band are incredible artists that made our evening one of the most enjoyable customer events that we have had in the last ten years!

I searched and searched for someone to perform at my wedding at my home on 12/29/18. I am so glad I found Aryk Crowder. We spoke on the phone several times prior the event, mostly because he wanted to make sure that he provided everything we would need to make the event great. Aryk thought of details that I hadn't even considered, which was a tremendous help in planning the flow of the evening. I requested two specific songs that I wanted performed prior to and following the actually ceremony, and he nailed both of them - they were absolutely beautiful. Aryk asked if I had a preference as to the type of music I wanted to have him perform that evening, and I told him that I trusted him to make that decision - the mix was amazing. Honestly, I still have people who attended the wedding commenting on how much they enjoyed Aryk's music. Aryk is extremely friendly and personable, and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking to host a perfect day or evening event.

Aryk performed for our Store Grand Opening, and he was Perfect!!! He arrived on time and was set up and ready to go before the scheduled time. He played for 4 hours and kept the crowd entertained with a great variety of songs. I would highly recommend Aryk for your next event!

Just what we needed for our memorial service.

Aryk made a great night, even better. He put his touch on a classic song that made the surprise one we will cherish and never forget. My girlfriend, now fiancé was so moved, and I barely held it together. It could not have been better and Aryk Crowder is an amazingly talented performer.
Aryk knew how to read the mood of our party!! My husband's 50 year old celebration was a hit, and yes, Aryk gets a lot of the credit!! Everyone loved his performance and music repertoire.
Highly recommend him, if you want to have a laid back, happy, fresh and fun entertainer!!

Aryk was key in helping me propose to my GF. He came with ideas, was flexible, on time and communicated very clearly. A great musician and professional all around. Highly recommend!
One Man Band, Singing Guitarist
Aryk was such a perfect addition to our party. He has an incredible voice and his music was soulful and chill, which really suited the event. Also he was super accommodating as the power shut down in our Neighbourhood and he had to start his set without a microphone! Very pleasant and easy going. I would highly recommend him!!

We booked Aryk for a company sales event on Catalina Island and had Aryk play while we had dinner.
EVERYONE commented how much they enjoyed his music and the unique covers of some popular songs.
Aryk was easy to work with and very professional. Highly recommend him!

Response from Aryk Crown:
Idalia and her crew were wonderful to work with. Very accommodating and all details of the event went smoothly. It was a pleasure to be able to play for them.
Aryk and a keyboard friend of his performed for my wife's 50th birthday. Before the show he sent a set list for us to choose from and even learned a few of our favorites to add to his set list. The event was mostly a cocktail hour/dinner affair, and he kept the atmosphere lively and classy. He adds an interesting artistic twist to well known songs, but still stays true to the original feel - not always easy to do. Definitely a step up from the standard DJ parties we usually attend.
