Horacio is lovely and talented. He was the perfect classical guitarist for our event. We are grateful we made this choice, he really made our event special.
Horacio Jones' talent was on full display at our 40th Anniversary celebration. Many, many comments were made about his accomplished guitar playing coupled with his singing prowess. He was a true joy to hear and watch as he played the many songs in his repertoire. A true professional who has talent to spare. I would highly recommend him and will be sure to keep him in mind for our next fiesta.
I am very glad I hired Horacio to perform at our multicultural festival. He is professional, extremely skilled, polite, approachable, friendly, patient, and he plays classical guitar beautifully. Our master of ceremonies had to change up the format of our program in the middle of the event to make it flow better and it didn't bother Horacio at all. I had so many people at the event comment to me on how beautiful his music is and as an event coordinator, that made me feel great to hear. I strongly recommend you hire him for your event, you will not be sorry.
Horacio played at my wedding and helped make it a magical experience. He was prompt and very professional. He's extremely talented and I'd highly recommend him for any event or special occasion.
Horacio demonstrated the utmost professionalism and musical skill in both organizing and performing at our recent engagement party. Both the hosts of the event and the guests alike were extremely impressed with his obvious passion toward his craft and in his comprehensive musical repertoire. I strongly recommend Horacio's services to anyone in need of a fantastic Latin guitar player for a private event or otherwise.
Horacio is a very talented musician. He made my moms birthday party go from great to outstanding!
I highly recommend him.
To be honest, Horacio is one of the best guitar players I have ever heard. As a musician myself, and an avid music lover, it's absolutely amazing to hear what a true professional can do with a guitar.
The music was lyrical, beautiful and almost mesmerizing. Moreover, Horacio was professional, showed up on time (so many musicians are flakes!) and charged a reasonable rate.
I cannot recommend him more highly!

Meet Horacio Jones, a classical guitarist with a unique musical journey. Born in Acapulco, Mexico, Horacio moved to Texas at the age of four and discovered his passion for music through the works of Led Zeppelin and Jimi Hendrix. He saved up for his own guitar through odd jobs and began playing in rock bands.
It wasn't until a chance encounter with Stanley Yates at a community college that Horacio was introduced to the world of classical guitar. He was immediately captivated by the works of Leo Brouwer and Bach and decided to pursue further studies at the University of North Texas.
When you book Horacio for your event, you can expect a professional and polished performance. He is always impeccably dressed in a suit or sportcoat and is flexible to dress appropriately for the occasion. He comes equipped with his own amplification system and microphones, and is happy to learn any specific songs requested for your event.
