As a solo classical guitarist, my repertoire includes many classics for a traditional wedding ceremony.

Ave Maria, and many more.
I am also able to arrange any song you may request.
Some of the most popular including:
Tears in Heaven, A Thousand Years, Hallelujah,

Additionally, I can arrange a program for a relaxing
cocktail hour at your reception.
Although I am most often heard at weddings, I am available for cocktail parties, benefits, birthdays, etc. My style can change to fit my clients needs- I have many genres at my disposal and am comfortable with creating a program tailored for your event.
While I hold a degree in Classical Guitar, I enjoy playing rock music, jazz, blues, and other contemporary genres. If a client desires to book me as an instrumental act and would like me to perform any of these styles, they are welcome to request specific songs and pieces.
