Overview
Good, fun, music--plain and simple! I play acoustic rock, country, folk, and pop for parties, cocktail hours, and events of all kinds, and I keep it simple by stripping it down to acoustic guitar, harmonica, and clear vocals. I love playing everything from family-friendly events to bars, and from backyard parties to private / corporate events. I am happy to take center stage or simply be background music. My goal is to provide the perfect soundtrack for your event, and I am happy to learn requests when possible.

Our event was an informal, relaxed wedding reception party. Clint was perfect! He has so much experience with this type of event that he gave us great ideas for the format of the event itself ahead of time by asking all the right questions. He created the perfect playlist of country and rock songs. The bride and groom were extremely pleased with Clint's performance (they were so happy with this event that they could not stop smiling!) and the crowd absolutely loved him! He read the crowd perfectly and interacted with them. He brought a second microphone for the toast. Clint is just an all-around great guy with a lovely voice and great guitar skills. We plan to hire him again in the future! Thank you Clint for helping us create a wonderful day and a terrific, memorable experience for all.
Clint arrived early and was ready to go when the guests began to arrive. He is a master at reading the crowd, (material, volume, etc.). He had planned to stick with mainly country since the venue was High West Distillery and had a true country feel. As he begin to perform various songs, he noticed that the crowd was singing along more to the classic pop songs. Clint begin to customize his set to the audience, and the experience was absolutely perfect. Clint did not take any breaks, although I encouraged him to. If you are looking for a perfect fit for your event, give Clint a shot. He will not let you down!

Thanks, Chris! What a fun night! Let’s do it again sometime :-)
Clint was amazing and so entertaining between his music and interaction with the crowd. We would love to have him back for another family reunion or event.
Clint is an incredibly thoughtful performer, who puts a lot of love and care into his performance. We were really happy with the end product and thought he added a lot of fun energy to our fundraising gala. I highly recommend!

Clint played a gig for us with many environmental changes due to weather and wildfire smoke, Clint was well prepared, reactive and flexible to make sure we had the best experience. His music was the perfect addition to our corporate retreat.

Thanks, Rosie! I had a blast playing for you all and always enjoy the opportunity to practice flexibility and adapting on the fly! It was a treat to perform in such a beautiful location for such kind folks :-)
Our company hired Clint to be the opening reception entertainment for one of our largest client facing events, and he did not disappoint! Clint was wonderful to work with - he communicated quickly, was extremely professional, punctual, and played a wonderful mix of classics and new music! All of our clients and staff loved him.
We will definitely be hiring Clint again when we are back in the Salt Lake City area!

Thanks Ben! It was truly an honor to share in this special night with your lovely family and friends!
All I can say is, "wow"! From the moment we started talking about our plan for the event until he packed up to leave, everything about Clint was professional, enthusiastic, and exceeded expectations. I had at least 15 people come up to me during our event and ask where we found him. We coordinated a playlist that was perfect for our crowd, and no one wanted the music to stop. I would highly recommend Clint for any event and can't wait to have him back.

Clint was the perfect addition to our gathering. He communicated clearly and quickly in the planning phase, and was very professional the day of the event. Clint is a talented musician who expertly matched the vibe of our party, and I highly recommend him.

A++++! From initial contact, to booking, to enjoying Clint's beautiful music and repitoire, we could not have been more pleased! Clint played and sang a delightful variety of folksy and country music for a western-themed couples wedding shower/dinner party.

Clint played for my wife's 40th surprise party and we can't be more thrilled! Arrived on time and was very professional. We had some curious children there and he handled them all very well. We can't wait to have another event so he can perform again!

Thanks, Nick! I loved talking with your guests and feeling like I was part of the celebration. It was such a fun night for me, and the kiddoes were great :-)
Clint was perfect for our event! He was professional from start to finish, and his musical performance was exactly what we needed. Fun and familiar songs that lifted the energy, but nothing that overtook the crowd. Played great for a couple hours despite the July heat!
Would definitely recommend.

Thanks Deena! I had so much fun playing for you guys! I was happy to support a great cause and be part of the celebration :-)
Clint is an excellent young man, kind, professional and very personal. Dressed well for the occasion. Interacted with our guests and they just loved him. Sang very well and his assortment of songs were a big hit. Arrived in plenty of time to set up prior to our guests arriving. Clint played for 4 straight hours with minimal breaks. At the end of the evening guests were requesting he play and sing a little longer. Clint graciously accommodated. This was a 60th birthday party for my wife approximately 60 guests. I had requested a few songs she liked and Clint took the time to learn the songs before the event, very nice touch.
Will absolutely hire Clint again. Great young man, sings very well. Would recommend Clint for sure.

Thanks, Fred! It really was a joy and a privilege to play for you all and very fun night to boot :-) Your guests were fantastic!
I hired Clint for the Celebration of Life for my brother who recently passed. My brother wanted a party and that’s what he got. Clint played a variety of music and kept the party upbeat and fun. Many people commented on how good Clint was. I’d give him 10 stars if I could
Very nice musician with an awesome sound and played nearly continuously with only small breaks. We will be booking him several times for 2020!

Response from Clint Buffington:
Thanks Victor! I look forward to coming back and playing for y'all again!
Clint is not only an amazing vocalist and guitarist, but he is professional and personable. He preformed for me several times over the course of 8 months, and each time was a treat. I would recommend him for any occasion.

Clint was FANTASTIC. We hired him for our neighborhood block party. He played a nice selection of music that everyone could enjoy. We definitely recommend him if your looking for a professional performer that will keep the party going.

Response from Clint Buffington:
Thanks Ryan! I had a great time playing for y'all and appreciated being included in your celebration :-)
You can't ask for a nicer (or more versatile) performer. Due to weather (and the event being outside), the event didn't go as originally planned. Clint was great about the weather situation and was more than happy to be flexible. He put on a great acoustic show, was great with the guests, and was great to work with. Word needs to get out about this guy. He's a great talent!
One Man Band
The first time I heard Clint was at a Highwest Brunch at Blue Sky. Amazing. He has since played a few events I have held in Park City, at OP Rockwell and The Rockwell Listening Room. Perfect to headline and get people dancing to classy country/bluegrass twist to popular songs. Very talented!

Incredible interaction with everyone.
Wonderful music and great performance!
Thank you, Clint, for a memorable experience that we all can't stop talking about it!
Worth every penny! 🎶💲❤️

What to Expect
Musically, my goal is to provide what you need, when you need it. To start with, I show up early, set up, and sound check with plenty of time to catch and fix any issues that may arise with gear; I approach every show with a professional attitude, and I dress and behave accordingly. I always make sure to communicate clearly and often with my clients to make sure the event is running smoothly, and I pride myself on being flexible and responsive to my hosts' needs.
Ultimately, my goal is to set the perfect vibe and provide the perfect soundtrack for your event!
About
I grew up in the hills of southern Illinois, passing the guitar around the campfire with friends. I've played music all over the country, and I am now based in Utah. I love playing and singing acoustic music and try to share that joy at every show!
Additional Booking Notes
My needs are minimal--mainly, I need access to power and shelter from the elements (shade in summer, heat in winter, and protection from rain, snow, etc., like a tent or gazebo).
If you want me to provide additional musicians, we'll simply need more space.
