Hello, my name is Ava Hoffman! I am a local musician that you can usually find playing at wineries/vineyards, breweries, and restaurants. I also have experience in playing at special events such as bridal showers, weddings, and parties.
For my shows, I typically play mainly guitar and a good amount of piano as well. I am flexible with the music I play according to the venue and what is requested. My music is categorized acoustic pop, but targeted for all age groups so everyone in the room enjoys what's being played! I as I am willing to travel depending on the opportunity.
Ava played for our neighborhood block party and did a wonderful job. I heard many positive comments on her vocal and instrumental abilities throughout the night, along with her song selection. She was punctual, friendly, and gracious. I would recommend her to others and will keep her card for future events.
Ava sounded so lovely and played both her guitar and keyboard. She was the ultimate professional adjusting when people wanted to make toasts or if there was an awkward pause and she needed to fill space. She was pleasant, prepared and most of all sounded great! We would love to have her play and sing at another event in the future. We definitely highly recommend Ava. Thanks so much Ava for helping make our wedding day so special. Our guest enjoyed your music too!!
Ava was a delight. Her voice is incredible. She is very comfortable with performing and we had a great time listening to all the different songs she sang.
Response from Ava Hoffman:
Aw thank you so much Rosanne, what a sweet review! I'm glad you enjoyed your evening and I hope to see you at future shows!
Soulful songs that tell a story, well presented and enjoyable to listen to.
Ava is excellent. I’ve seen her play a few time at events and they we’re all great. Unfortunately, our wedding got postponed till next year but we are excited to have her at our cocktail hour post pandemic. I would highly recommend her.
I was at a wedding shower when I heard Ava perform and she did truly an amazing job! She has the most beautiful voice I’ve ever heard in all my years of living. Not only does she sing, but she plays the guitar astonishingly at the same time! One listen to her, and you can tell the amount of time and effort she puts into her performances. Pure talent!

What I offer changes depending on the venue, set list, and what is required. Generally, you can expect me with my guitar and/or piano, playing well polished and fun songs with the audience. The songs specifically are a blend of upbeat, popular songs, and some slower intimate songs. In addition, some handwritten originals are played as well. I like to be conversational and be inclusive with the audience as well to ensure everyone is having a good time!
As a kid, I grew up in a very musical family and setting. Being raised in that environment always lead me to have a great interest in music. I started singing as soon as I could talk and never stopped learning and growing. To this day I'm expanding on better techniques, art styles, and exercises to always be improving.
My mother could always play the guitar, when she taught my sister how to play a few chords, I knew I could learn just as well. So I self taught myself (with the help of my mother,) guitar at 8 years old. Quickly there after, I taught myself ukulele and took piano lessons.
At 14 I performed my first booked show. Performing and entertaining people with music is my favorite job, and as time goes on, I continue to love it more and more. My style, setlist, and audiences are ever changing, but the same goal always remains, to make people happy and enjoy what they listen to. It is my hope that as a musician I can continue to accomplish that goal. I appreciate every opportunity I receive as a growing artist and look forward to exceeding your expectations of what I can do.
The equipment I bring to my events are: 1 premium wide spread speaker, speaker stand, guitar stand, Taylor guitar, microphone stand, microphone, korg keyboard, premium sound mixer, and corresponding chords.
This set up has worked very well for me and for the venues I play at. If a wider range of sound is needed for a bigger venue, this can be included as well.
