Gary interweaves a blend of flamenco and classical tempos into his own individual style, having grown up in a family environment of grand opera and classical music. Original compositions he describes as Classical Folk with a flamenco sound. He began at age 13 with his first guitar, an $11 Stella, then playing many years later in the coffee house and festival circuit in Melbourne and Phoenix. His solo music progresses towards writing and developing the sounds of Spanish and classical guitar into his own interpretations. While your on the site, take a look at my set list.
Gary was the perfect addition to my event. He arrived early, set-up without any issues and did a great job!
Response from Gary McReynolds:
Great time at the ASIC National Conference at the DoubleTree Resort. Very appreciative crowd with positive comments on the variety of music I play and more than a few recording on cell phones. Perfect outdoor weather and a terrific setting under the trees. Thanks Carly, for selecting me!
Gary did a wonderful job providing the perfect ambiance for our outdoor event. His classical guitar music as well as rethought covers of some of our favorite songs made the whole day even more beautiful. I would highly recommend.
My husband and I run a Farmers Market and hired Gary for the first time, this Memorial Day weekend. He was reliable and great to work with as a person and his music added joy and magic to our event. We have now booked him 3 more times!!
Gary is a very talented musician. He is a very talented guitarist and provides easy listening music that customers enjoy. Gary is very friendly and works well with club owners. He is very flexible and easy to work with.
Gary McReynolds' classical guitar playing and singing during the Payson Art League fall show in the courtyard space of the Rim Country BBQ was outstanding and totally appropriate. It set the tone for the entire event. The guests really enjoyed the music as they visited the booths of artists showing their paintings, jewelry, and ceramic art. I can't imagine a better fit. I recommend Gary highly for similar events.
We loved Gary. Very professional and also very personable. Really enjoyed his music.
Gary provided a very entertaining and pleasant evening. Talented guitarist! He was easy to chat with beforehand, very prompt, and played a very nice range of selections from classical to more contemporary. Shared interesting stories about the songs. He had a warm, relaxed and comfortable style and interacted well with everyone.
Gary has played for us several times at several of our events. He is always punctual, professional, easy and friendly to work with and delights our guests with world class music. Thank you for always being amazing Gary!
Gary has worked with us on several different events and it has been a flawless experience every time! He is always punctual and well prepared, plays excellent music that guests enjoy very much and is an all around professional. We highly recommend Gary for any event and are excited to continue to work with him in the future!
Response from Gary McReynolds:
Bruzzi's Vineyard in Young AZ, holds quarterly Equinox dinners, both inside and out. At ~$125 a plate, everything has to fit together. Fabulous food, perfectly paired wines, amazing Arizona ambiance and the background music. Classical guitar with a variety, fits very well where patrons want to converse. They don't have to complete with the music, but do stop once in a while to pay attention to a particular piece. I've played the last 7 events with 2 more scheduled for this summer.
I hired Gary to perform at our Etron Event for Audi Gilbert. Gary was very easy to work with and accommodate my requests. He is a great performer and we got many compliments about his music through the evening. Gary stayed in touch with me through the booking process, showed up early and has all his own gear ready. I would definitely hire him again and highly recommend him.
Gary's duo, Sound Tapestry, played at a church sponsored concert and his guitar playing impressed everyone in the audience. He is a true artist.
Price Range: $100 to $300, Duration and distance considered

I typically offer background music for the setting. I may not even have a microphone depending on whether the audience needs song titles or just to exchange pleasantries. My entertainment is from the music and not from clever talk between songs. Although I can provide history for each song via a mic, if it fits the venue.
The music is a mixture of classical pieces from Rodrigo, Sor, Pachabel and Shubert. Several Mason Williams tunes including Classical Gas, that is always a favorite. If someone feels like dancing, there are several Flamenco (Malaguena) and waltzes (yes, Metallica anyone?). Plus several classical originals you'll find soothing.
I show up with a professional JBL sound system and I play a hand-built Yairi classical guitar from Kani, Japan.
Expect me in either a full Scottish kilt dress to honor my ancestry back to MacRannall, c1306, or if you prefer, in classic black, you'd expect a flamenco guitar player to wear.
My mother trained at La Scala Italy and Paris, and sang with the New York and Chicago Opera Companies. My brother, a student of Julliard NYC. Classical and flamenco music is what I heard nonstop around the house. Finally in my 40s, after flailing away with rock music for 30 years, I came home to a classical guitar and played in successful duos in Melbourne & Phoenix. Then after retiring in 2016, I joined an Irish band and a flutist/duo for a time and now play classical guitar in Payson, Arizona.
Playing at an outdoor setting or a vineyard for a wine tasting, are my favorite places to perform.
At a minimum I play a >50 min set with a <10 minute break. But depending on the setting may just play through for up to 3 hours. I don't use break music but could on request. I drink only water during the sets, but afterwards wouldn't turn down a beer from the host! I set a tip jar up for gas $$, if it's acceptable.
