Ian was responsive, polite and professional. He catered his playlist to our requests and sounded great. Highly recommended!
Ian was very professional with good communications ahead of time. Had a great play list. Sounded fantastic and was a pleasure at our party. Highly recommend.
Ian was wonderful - friendly and professional with a great portfolio of music. He was super responsive and checked in before the event on the type of music, volume, what to expect for the crowd, etc. Ian was quick to set up, timely, and was a real pleasure to work with!
I had Ian perform for my fiancé's 30th birthday party on a patio and it was perfect! He was very easy to communicate with before the event and sent me a playlist and let me modify it as I wanted. The music was great and he is very affordable!! We had a blast- thank you!
Response from Ian Rowland Entertainment:
Thanks so much Brooke! I had a blast playing for you guys.
I hired Ian Rowland to play at a private party and he was Fantastic!! He was very responsive to all my communications (even called me while he was on vacation) and so fun and easy to work with. He learned to play new songs based on requests from the guest of honor in days!! He is incredible. I would definately hire Ian again and you should too, he really enjoys playing music and meeting people and it shows in his work!! Thanks Ian for adding to fun and entertainment of our party, we really appreciated having you as the entertainment.
Response from Ian Rowland Entertainment:
Thanks so much Lea! I enjoyed working with you as well, hope all is well!
Ian has been a super fun musician to have at our restaurant and bar. We were looking for someone with a good sound that could appeal to our varied crowd and we found it! Ian has great energy, is engaging, and talented. We have had him back several times and hope to keep having him in the future!

I was born and raised in St. Louis to a very musically-inclined family.
My older brother also plays guitar and sings in the St. Louis area, so from a very early age I was inspired to do the same. I've been playing guitar and singing for over 20 years and I draw inspiration from all types of music. Bluegrass, country, classic rock, alternative rock, hip-hop, pop, you name it and I listen to it!
Playing music and making people happy is what I truly love to do.
I can work with whatever space you have, small or large.
