Devin played at an anniversary party for a couple who honeymooned in Spain 50 yrs ago and still relives that trip regularly. Her music provided the perfect accompaniment to the festivities and took them back to that special time and place.
Devin Matthews is enormously capable with classical guitar. Her music is technically precise and rendered with tremendous depth. She is a professional in every connotation of the word - playing ability, demeanor, appearance, interaction with guests. We are astonished we found an artist of her caliber in Billings, Montana.
We hired Devin Matthews to play classical pieces for my parents’ 60th wedding anniversary Mass. My parents requested music played originally at their wedding in addition to a several pieces they had grown to love during their years together. Three of these were new for Devin. She played everything masterfully. She understood the Mass and her role in it. She arrived well in advance, played wonderfully, and quietly left. Her music was sufficiently striking that the Priest thanked her individually and publicly at the end. Devin’s music transformed and elevated my parents’ anniversary Mass.
I absolutely recommend her and would hire her again without hesitation.
Response from Devin Matthews- Classical Guitarist:
Christine, thank you so much for these very kind words! It was absolutely my pleasure to be part of your parents' special anniversary Mass. Wishing you and your family all the best! Thanks, Devin
Devin played for our wedding including Ava Maria at my wife’s request in memory of her parents. She was very professional in the entire process, asking for our thoughts and providing suggestions for parts of the service we had not considered. Afterwards, some of our guests said they had never thought a guitar could be used to play music for a wedding she played so well.
If you live in the Billings area and have a need for a classic musician, even for an event you would not think could be done on guitar, you should contact her. We are so glad we did.
Response from Devin Matthews- Classical Guitarist:
Thank you for the kind words, Rosemary! It was a pleasure playing at your wedding.

-I play a varied repertoire of traditional classical guitar favorites spanning from the Baroque period to the present day. Pieces by Bach, Tarrega, Chopin, Barrios, and many others provide plenty of music to choose from for any type of event.
-Classical guitar is well suited for background music as well as concert settings. With an excellent sound system, I can tailor the sound of my guitar to suit your space even in a large or loud room.
-Great for small, intimate settings. With my small setup, I won't take up much space. The sound of the guitar is excellent for soft background music as well.

Devin Matthews began playing guitar when she was twelve years old. By the time she was 15, she regularly played at recitals, restaurants, and events in her home state of Arkansas. She graduated from Webster University in St. Louis in 2016 with a Bachelor's of Music in Instrumental Performance.
Highlights of her time at Webster include performing as a soloist with the Webster University Chamber Orchestra in 2015 and touring as a soloist with the Webster University Chamber Singers in 2016. Ms. Matthews also studied with Olivier Chassain (Professor of Guitar at the Paris Conservatory) on numerous occasions in St. Louis, as well as in Nice, France, during the summer of 2013.
Throughout her career, she has performed at concerts, weddings, events, art galleries, and restaurants, bringing the joy and beauty of classical guitar to her audiences. Based near Billings, Montana, she currently performs in the greater Montana/Wyoming area.
