Response from Gareth Bush Music:
Had a blast! Thanks to Madison and her team for hosting a great event.
We had Gareth perform at a 50th birthday. He did a wonderful job and read the audience well. I appreciate that he really tried to play our faves and make the night meaningful for us.

We really enjoyed having Gareth at my 50th birthday celebration last night! He sang a wide variety of songs that we requested and provided fantastic entertainment for our guests. Loved having him at our event and would definitely hire him again. Highly recommend!
Guitarist, Pop Singer
We had so much fun with Gareth- he exceeded our expectations- what a pro!!
Singing Guitarist
Having Gareth perform at our event made the occasion not only entertaining but interactive and very memorable. Gareth was well prepared, professional, approachable, and adapted well to our little wild crowd of 3 people onsite and a group of friends on Zoom. The selection of songs are incredible and Gareth's ability to improvise (take one song and out of the blue add a chorus from another just for fun) is impressive -especially when the songs were two completely genres! The choices of songs allowed us to have some good oldies along with current tunes. Gareth let us chime in on songs making the entire experience more special for us and especially for the our friend's 50th. Thank you "Super G"! :) - Carla, Lori, and Angela.
