I have requested Roland's assistance with several events while being employed as Cinvention Services Manager at the Huntsville Madison County Concention & Visitors Bureau. He provides wide genre of music which appeals to any age group. I recommend him without reserve. Thank you for the years of service and a longtime professional friendship.
If you want a professional jazz guitarist with great song selections whether it be gospel or jazz , you want go wrong with hiring Mr. Roland Gresham. He arrived early and was set up and playing as guest came in. His music was just what I needed at my Meet and Greet Brunch.
We have had Roland at the Jackson Center several times. He’s always professional, on time and brings a great vibe to all different events.
I have hired Roland to play at a social event for a group of professionals. He is a talented musician, easy to work with and always punctual. He is very personable and I would recommend him to anyone.
Roland's contribution to our Gold and Blue Scholarship Gala is always a treat! He has become a staple as a wonderful way to set the mood for the event.
Mr. Gresham provided music for my daughter's backyard wedding and it was the perfect touch for the event. He provided excellent music and every thing from booking to post event was professional. I would use him for any event because he can play any genre of music appropriate for any occasion.

Jazz guitarist, Roland Gresham is a native of Nashville, Tennessee. He grew up under the influence of his father who was also a jazz guitarist, and had all of Wes Montgomery’s albums. Roland started playing guitar at the age of six with no formal training. By the time he was in high school he could play along with any song heard on the radio. Roland won the talent contest his freshman year in high school. By the age of twenty, Roland was performing for banquets and wedding receptions throughout the United States. During this time Roland discovered the music of George Benson, and quickly became a fan. Shortly after, people started comparing his sound to that of George Benson, a comment often repeated today.
Roland Gresham has recorded several Gospel CDs, two Christmas CDs, and two Smooth-Jazz/R&B CDs entitled, “Pillow Talk,” and “Bedtime Stories;” and a tribute to Michael Jackson entitled, “Memories Of Michael Jackson.” Roland has performed for audiences throughout North America, London, England, Bermuda, and the Caribbean.
