Song For The Wolves
Michael Gargano
Overview
I am a freelance instrumental guitarist with 40 plus years professional experience. I offer services for public/private events and make every attempt to craft music with specific themes. I focus on solo jazz guitar renditions of the American Songbook of the 30's and 40's, solo guitar treatments of Pop, Rock and Contemporary Music of the 50's-60's-70's and light Classical Guitar Music. In addition to solo guitar work I also enjoy playing with Upright Acoustic Bass in a duo format and occasionally add Percussion or Drums in the classic Jazz Guitar Trio format.
Holiday Music for the upcoming season! Contact me to hear them...

Michael plaid guitar during our cocktail hour at our wedding. He was easy to communicate with and quick to respond. We ended up having to change the location of the cocktail hour last minute due to rain and Michael was very accommodating. He put together a wonderful set and even incorporated some specific favorite artists and songs of ours.

Michael showed up and set-up in a timely manner, and was ready to start when we had finished our dinner/awards ceremony. His guitar music playing in the background provided an elegant, relaxed atmosphere for the event and I received many compliments on his performance.
His choice of musical genre was perfect!
Thank you, Michael, for helping make our event successful.

Michael is a wonderful musician. He instinctively knew how to play for our crowd. He played the right songs at the right volume without much information at all. He was also punctual and professional. Was a joy to work with Michael and hope to have the opportunity again sometime.

We had Michael play at our cocktail party. The guests and us love him. He has many years of experience and can play an extensive range of popular songs from rock to blues. He answers emails promptly, extremely accommodating, punctual, professional, and reasonably priced. We will definitely have him play again and recommend him to everyone!
