We were already impressed by how easy and seamless scheduling was with Brian. From first contact through the day of, communications were simple and straightforward. We really didn’t need to worry about a thing.
On the day, Brian was prompt, required no assistance in getting set up and was instantly the highlight of our corporate event. He’s personable and has a voice that makes people stop and take notice. His presence added ambiance and facilitated an evening that truly felt special. We would definitely work with Brian again.

Response from Brian Sutherland:
Gosh Shane, thank you SO MUCH! I cannot wait to share play for you guys again soon. #SEEYOUINVEGAS :)
We were looking for an acoustic singer/songwriter for my companies spring event. From the first correspondence with Brian, I knew he was the right call. Very professional, concise, and event-minded. He went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, from helping to decide where he should be in the space to actually MC'ing on the fly. He was perfect. Amazing cover songs and a bunch of great original songs too! Great to listen to, engaging with the crowd, and he read the room really well. To be honest, initially I thought the quote was a bit high ($1k and a room), but I plan to have him at every event I host from here on out.

Hey Candace!
Thanks so much for the kind words. Can't tell you how much fun it was to play for you guys! Too much fun! Stay in touch! - B
I first saw Brian at a South Texas resort ranch where he was the featured entertainer. With a balanced presentation of original work with the numbers everyone knows, the audience quickly became fans. We heard from the workers that Brian was by far the best performer they'd seen in over a year and saw a few of them dancing in the kitchen! The talent and warmth compelled me to book Brian to play my wife's retirement party last month at the Ritz-Carlton Dallas. He played songs significant to her and again, turned our guests in to immediate fans. If you are looking for a talented, soulful entertainer for your next event, save some time and book Brian!

We had a intimate wedding reception and he was the perfect fit.
Brian was able to play requests and even work our Karaoke crowd.
Very flexible, great guitar skills and voice.
Would definitely hire again!
Singing Guitarist
Brian drove from Nashville to play at our small backyard wedding in Milledgeville, GA. He did a great job communicating leading up to the event, and we had complete confidence in him right away. He has great energy and helped us with several transitions throughout the event. His voice is incredible and very versatile for the different types of music that we requested. He was able to play cello for our ceremony, and he immediately transitioned to singing and playing the guitar for our cocktail hour and reception. Several things went off-course during the event, but he kept rolling with the punches and kept the crowd going. Several guests took his contact information and plan to use him in the future. Don't hesitate booking Brian!
