Josh Klaus

The City of Austin Director of Music recommended him and now we know why. He made the wedding reception/dinner/dancing so much fun with his energy and he has an amazing voice. He ticked all the boxes and does it on his own: Plays music, sings, DJs, MCs, sets up in multiple locations, and just brings amazing energy to the event.

I still have so many people reaching out saying how great he was and if they can get his contact information. He also learned a song for one of our first dances in a couple weeks.

On top of all of this you'd think he'd be a fortune to book, but he is more than reasonable.

Josh was the perfect choice for music entertainment at our wedding! He was recommended to us by our wedding planner and he did not disappoint. Once we listened to his songs, we booked him the next day to perform at our wedding ceremony, cocktail hour and MC/DJ for the entire night! Josh made the process seamless and is extremely talented. Not only does he have a voice of an angel but he was the life of the party! He knew exactly what songs to play to keep the dance floor packed and even got out there himself to show off his moves. Thank goodness our date was available because our wedding wouldn't have been the same without him!

Josh was THE PERFECT music vendor for our wedding!! He is so incredibly talented! Live music voice of an angel and a MC/DJ that is the life of the party! We're huge music people that love that sweet balance of live music and a DJ orchestrated rager. Josh can do it all. We were so obsessed with Josh and knew we HAD to have him be a part of our big day so much so that we quite literally chose our wedding date based on Josh's remaining availability. SO SO SO WORTH IT! It was the best day of our lives and we have Josh to thank for single handedly curating an immaculate musical experience. If I could give 1000 stars I would! THANKS SO MUCH JOSH!!

Josh Klaus is the best in the business. Amazing musician, phenomenal MC and delightful human. He exceeded all of our expectations, learned every song we asked him to learn, and was very pleasant to work with every step of the way.

Josh was a HIT at our wedding! Not only did he learn 2 technically difficult songs for our ceremony, he made sure all of our favorite songs were played at the reception. Everyone couldn't stop saying how fun and talented he was! From his acoustic set during dinner, to his DJ set on the dance floor, everything was incredible. I am so glad we found Josh, music is a huge part of my husband and I's life and Josh was a perfect fit!

If you are looking for an amazing musician and DJ, book Josh Klaus now! We hired Josh for our wedding, and he provided live music for the ceremony and cocktail hour, DJ during the reception, and emceed the entire night. He did a phenomenal job and we could not have been happier. We had so many compliments on him at our wedding, and one of guests actually booked him for another event after hearing him at our wedding (we attended that event too and he was amazing!). Communication was great and everything was easy to coordinate. We had a last minute change of venue for the reception due to an A/C issue, and Josh was able to get set up in the new space without a hitch. During the reception, he was so high energy and definitely made our guests have a good time. If we ever have another event that requires music, Josh will be our first call.

We felt so lucky to have Josh provide the music for our wedding. He's a mega talent and was definitely a highlight of the day. He learned multiple songs on the guitar for the ceremony and was a spectacular DJ that kept the dance floor pumping the entire night. Guests were raving about how talented and fun he made the night. I'd highly recommend booking Josh for your wedding or event, he's amazing.

I 100% recommend hiring Josh for you next special event. The first time I heard Josh sing, was at my friends wedding in 2020. I remember sitting in the pew waiting for the ceremony to start just mesmerized by his beautiful singing. Josh is SO talented at what he does, and I just knew I also had to have him at my wedding someday. Fast forward a few years later, once my husband and I got engaged, Josh was one of the first vendors I booked. I am so grateful he was available, and we had the opportunity to work with him. Not only is he gifted with such an amazing talent, but he is also a great guy to work with. We had a few phone conferences with him to discuss our vision/wants for our wedding, and during our phone calls, it felt like we were talking to a friend that we had known forever. He made us feel so welcomed and even took the time to learn a new song that we requested for our first dance. We had Josh play/sing before our ceremony, during cocktail hour, and again for our first dance. He made everything so special not only for us, but for our guests too. We've had so many friends and family members compliment his performance and how our wedding was the best wedding they've been to. We definitely couldn't have done it without Josh. If you want someone who is brings the fun energy, as well as romance to your day, then Josh is your guy. He will certainly make your day extra special like he did ours with his musical talents.

Josh did an incredible job performing at our ceremony and cocktail hour! I asked him for a specific song and he performed it so beautifully! He truly has the best setlist for a wedding and is very professional! We also love that we can see Josh play when he performs at public events!

Josh was the absolute perfect choice for our music for our ceremony and cocktail hour. All of our guests were very impressed and did not stop complimenting us about Josh the whole night! He was so easy to work with and even played specific songs we had asked him to do. Would recommend him time and time again!

Josh was AMAZING! I had been told about him by my wedding venue and I'm so glad I listened. He does everything you need and does it extremely well. He sang for the ceremony and cocktail hour (in the June Austin heat) and was an awesome DJ during the reception. He has all the equipment he needs and sets it all up himself. Josh sang our first dance song and it made so special for us. Not only is he a great singer and guitarist but such a sweet person with so much love in his heart. HIRE HIM, you won't regret it.

tl;dr - Stop looking for other entertainment vendors and just book Josh. Just do it. Hell, book your entire wedding around him - he's worth it!

I found Josh in a roundabout way. I was looking for a signage vendor, and one vendor I was interested in had Josh perform at her own wedding. After looking at a few videos, I was VERY intrigued. I had already reached out to a handful of DJs, but I knew that the combination of acoustic performance + DJ services would be perfect for our wedding. This is also very unique, from what I can tell, and helps bridge the gap between a typical DJ and a full-on band, the latter of which may not be desired for certain reasons, including budgetary ones. Josh responded quickly and after a phone call, we were all set. He was extremely amenable to our need to reschedule our wedding due to F1 (boo!), which we really appreciated.

As wedding time approached, he was very responsive and helpful in terms of both guiding us in making any final entertainment decisions, but also listening to what we were looking for. On the day of the wedding, from our perspective, everything went perfectly. Josh performed acoustic for our pre- and post-ceremony cocktail hours, as well as for the processional and dinner. He then DJ'd our first dances and the reception. He also provided MC services throughout, and he did so with aplomb. He brings a spectacular energy to the dancefloor, which we loved because we had a more "elder millennial" crowd who needs more liquid courage to get the dance moves going.

I can't tell you how many people complimented Josh to us on the night of the wedding and afterward - he has been, by far, the most reviewed vendor we had. He is also just really nice and really fun, which is important for a wedding team.

SO... just do it! Book Josh! You won't regret it and your wedding will be better for it!

We first heard Josh at a friend's wedding and he was the first vendor we booked! He is so talented and we love how he brings his own style to his songs. Ultimately, Josh was our musician for ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and then our DJ for the rest of the evening. We loved working with Josh!!! He easily accommodated our requests and made the musical element of our planning seamless. Throughout our reception, our guests were raving about Josh and we agree!

Josh was an absolute star at our wedding! I knew Josh was the musician for us when I first talked to him on the phone as we hit it off immediately. His personality matched perfectly with ours and I could tell right away that he is truly passionate about performing and being a part of the most important day in the bride and groom's lives. He is talented beyond words can describe, has hundreds of songs on his playlist but will also learn others just for you, is SO intentional with not only his music but also in his speeches while he is the Master of Ceremonies, knows how to get the party going and most importantly, parties with you!!!
Josh was such an important part of our wedding day and our guests are still talking about how awesome he was! He is truly such a genuine, talented, and super fun person and we're super grateful that he was our musician.

Josh is an amazing vendor and musician to work with. He made the process so seamless and was extremely receptive to our music suggestions. He was enthusiastic throughout the entire evening and kept the party going. We also had him play an acoustic set during dinner and it was fabulous… created a very enjoyable atmosphere with the quality of the performance and the variety of music. Would definitely recommend Josh for both his acoustic and DJ set!!!!

Josh is absolutely everything!! Genuine, talented, kind, intentional, and the list could go on forever! He sang during our ceremony and cocktail hour, and it was even more perfect than I could have ever dreamed. I vividly remember walking into the chapel and tearing up immediately from how beautifully he sang our song. The sound of his heavenly voice as I walked down the aisle has been the most perfect soundtrack of every memory during that special moment. All of our guests continue to ask about him and rave about how incredible he was! My husband and I are the biggest Josh Klaus fans, and we recommend him to everyone! Our wedding day would not have been the same without him because Josh just made it next level perfection! He exudes the most infectious energy that instantly makes you smile and brightens the room! He is truly such a gem! 100% recommend hiring Josh Klaus!! We are forever thankful for how special and memorable Josh made our wedding day. Thank you for everything, Josh!

Josh was a referral of a couple of friends of mine who had hired him for different services for their wedding days and so my now-Husband and I went to see Josh perform at a local Austin bar - he BLEW US AWAY!!! This guy is not only incredibly talented, he is one of the nicest people you will ever meet! You can just tell he truly loves what he does! After his show, we introduced ourselves and asked if he had availability for our wedding date - he did, so we booked him right away! Josh is a triple threat - he was our emcee for the entire evening, DJ and sang live with acoustic guitar. How many wedding entertainers can do all 3?! He is easy to communicate with and so laid back, although he had never played at our venue before, he seamlessly worked with the sound engineer to make sure he had everything he needed prior to our wedding day. Our guests had so much fun dancing, we've been told by both our photographer and videographer teams they had never seen a wedding where no one left the dance floor all night! And that is all thanks to Josh and his incredible talent. Hire him immediately, I promise you won't regret it!!

Josh was the star of our wedding night and the absolute perfect addition to our day. From ceremony, to cocktail hour, to our private last dance, we have not stopped receiving compliments from all of our guests about how much they loved him. He listened to my husband and I's wishes and went above and beyond to help cultivate the perfect day. He kept all of our guests engaged and entertained and was so easy to work with! We feel so lucky to have had Josh be part of our day and would highly recommend him to anyone!

Josh Klaus was EVERYTHING I could have asked or hoped for as a musician and dj for our wedding. I found Josh’s music through Instagram a few years ago and knew I wanted him to perform at my wedding when the day finally came. He was my 1 “must have”, the piece of my day I refused to compromise on and I could not be happier I made that choice. He was an absolute breeze to work with leading up to the wedding, and then perfectly set the mood for the entire day of. He was relaxed but also full of energy, was calming and truly felt like a friend my husband and I had known for years. Our guests were coming up to us all night and reached out for weeks afterwards to inquire about who this incredible artist was. He made our special day perfect, and I cannot recommend him enough.

As the Groom, I thought I was going to be the one holding myself in one piece but turned out to be me who bursted in tears as soon as Josh started singing our song. Josh requested to meet me and my wife before the wedding in person so we could go over the plan and also just to get to know us and our story. His voice is, in my best words, touching. I can't describe it any better. He made sure that everything went smoothly and communicated with our Vendor, prepared extra mics at our request and it was the best day of our lives! Get him if you can, you won't regret it.

Josh did a wonderful job at our Wedding last weekend (12/10/2022). He went above and beyond as a Singer and DJ. He did a wonderful job keeping our guest engaged all night. We and our guest danced all night long. So many people came up to us afterwards telling us what a phenomenal job Josh did.
We highly recommend him for your next event!!!

Josh is incredible. We heard him 4 years ago playing at the W Hotel in Austin. We asked our waitress what radio station they had on, and she pointed outside to Josh. My husband grabbed his card, and 4 years later, Josh was one of the first people we reached out to when we started planning our wedding. Josh was responsive, collaborative, creative, and beyond supportive of our dream ceremony and cocktail hour. Josh created custom acoustic versions of 2 EDM songs for me and my husband to walk down the aisle to - there wasn't a dry eye in the house. He also DJ'd the perfect set list for our cocktail hour - we heard him DJ'ing while taking formal photos in front of our venue and were jealous that we were missing out. We literally cannot say enough good things about Josh. If you want an incredibly special, highly personalized, and fun musical experience at your wedding - hire Josh Klaus.

I came across Josh on Instagram and was very interested in his ability to sing wonderfully, MC, and DJ... checking off all our wishes for our big day. A few weeks later my husband and I went to see Josh preform at a local restaurant and realized we had to have him at our wedding. Josh was worth every dollar and more, the energy and happiness he and his voice brings to the wedding day in indescribable. He did an AMAZING job signing during cocktail hour, MCing, and keeping our guests on the dance floor the entire night. Many of our guests told us our wedding dancefloor was the best they have been on, thanks to Josh! And a few of my engaged friends are planning to book him for their future weddings!

Josh was incredible, phenomenal, and all the other good things! The process to hire him was easy and we loved how he engaged with us to make sure everything we wanted for his acoustic set during the ceremony and cocktail hour as well as DJ'ing our reception was perfect! We couldn't have asked for anything better. Hire Josh! You won't be disappointed.

Josh was absolutely phenomenal at our wedding! We first discovered him at a brunch place in Austin and my wife and I were floored with how great his singing and acoustic guitar were. He added the extra "chill" vibe to our wedding with his amazing performance and we had nothing but great feedback from all our guests. Highly recommended, Josh is an incredibly gifted musician and a fantastic human being. Thanks for everything buddy!

We hired Josh for an outdoor corporate cocktail reception. Josh's sound filled the room and made it much lively! Great selection of songs.

Josh Klaus was so amazing! Having him at our wedding was the thing my husband and I were most excited for. I first heard him at a venue open house and immediately took my then fiancé to hear him play at another gig. Booked Josh as quick as I could after that! We had him play guitar for our cocktail hour/first dance/last dance and DJ for the ceremony/reception. Having live music played for you first and last dance are just beautiful. To choose our music and have everything go smoothly he sent us a google form to send out a few weeks before the wedding. He was always very responsive by email. Now that our wedding is over our favorite thing to do is go around Austin and hear him play at different venues.

Josh is an incredible vocalist and musician. But he’s not just that. He’s a great entertainer, a really sweet guy, and he knows how to read the room, start the party, and keep it going! He played acoustic music at our wedding and also was the DJ for the reception. We got so many comments from our guests about how much they loved the music. The music really made the whole atmosphere so enjoyable for everyone (all ages)! He’s so personable and easy to work with too. I highly recommend Josh for any event!! Great voice, great talent, great personality, and top of the line professionalism!

We booked Josh because we were looking for a live musician that was talented in both vocals and acoustic guitar, and not solely just a DJ. And let me tell ya, he is beyond talented! He nailed every cue and made our vision for coffeehouse vibes come to life. Josh is easy to work with and makes your big day special in ways you wouldn’t expect - he took it upon himself to intro our toasts with a few words on the importance of them, and even gave his own small cheers to us! He was comfortable and confident as an emcee and it felt as he knew us by the way he spoke about us. Definitely worth way more than what we spent and 100% would recommend him to anyone!

So we 1st saw Josh performing at the open house at Ma Maison and we were blown away and hired him the next day to play at our wedding... HE DID NOT DISAPPOINT !! All of our guest were asking us who the guitarist was and how to find him. He definitely was worth hiring. If anyone is looking for a guitarist with the best vocals in town... You have got to hire Josh. You will be glad you did! he deserves more than just 5 stars!

So lucky we found Josh to play at our wedding ceremony. Not only was he professional and easy to work with, but his music, positive energy, and kind-hearted personality was so up lifting. Great voice/musician and even better of a human being.

Probably our favorite vendor we worked with. Josh's personality makes it hard not to like him and he killed it as MC/DJ/musician. Seriously does it all! We found him because we wanted a mix of live music and DJ and our coordinator recommended him. It is honestly such an affordable choice when you add up ceremony music, then cocktail hour, then reception. The #1 thing that comes up after our wedding is how great the music was. One guest even said, "Did that guy ever take a break?!" because he was so integral for every major thing at our wedding. Don't even think about it and book Josh. He has an amazing voice, infectious personality, and knows how to pump up a crowd!

Josh is one of our absolute favorite vendors that we booked for our wedding. He is an incredible artist and everyone was truly blown away by his talent. We booked him for our elopement ceremony, as well as our larger wedding celebration and he knocked both out of the park. I invite everyone to listen to his Spotify account so you can become a true fan just like we are! Thank you Josh!

Josh was recommended to us by a former co-worker and we were so lucky he had our date available. From the start, Josh was attentive, creative and kind. He listened to all of our requests and made sure that we were 100% happy with the music way before our date even came around. At the wedding, he was the perfect hype man and a huge crowd pleaser! We had Josh for acoustic and DJ services and everyone could not be more impressed with how incredible he sounded and how professional he was in both mediums. We were so happy to have Josh provide the theme music for our wedding and we can’t wait to attend some of his live shows later on. I would recommend Josh 10x over and and over again.

Josh was just the best! He has a ton of experience and knows exactly how to get the crowd on the dance floor. And Josh is just an amazing singer, what a beautiful voice. We loved him and were so happy that we decided to go with Josh as our singer and DJ. Definitely recommend!

Josh was amazing! We heard him play live and immediately knew we wanted him to play as we walked down the aisle, through our cocktail hour, and our first dance. If you haven't heard his acoustic versions of some of your favorite early 2000s's songs, you're missing out. He was great - suggested songs, learned our first dance song, and overall was a positive spirit to have on our day.

First, I think all couples should have live music for their ceremony and cocktail hour. Second, I think all couples should also hire Josh for this! He has literally the voice of an angel and so many of our guests told us that his singing made our ceremony. He was extremely responsive, even when I changed my mind a million times about songs, he was always on top of things. He made our ceremony and cocktail hour so special with the music that he played for us. He is a great guy all around and an even better musician.

I can't say enough good things about Josh! He played our ceremony and our cocktail hour. The guests kept coming up to me telling me how good he was. It gave the cocktail hour a more intimate feeling before the big band started after dinner. It felt like the guests got a little of everything. He learned the song we requested for my walk down the aisle and it was exactly how I imagined it. He is fairly priced, very responsive and added a touch to our wedding that I didn't even realize we needed. If you book with him, you will truly not regret it and you will be so pleased.

We booked Josh a little less than a year in advance for our wedding. Josh was everything we could’ve asked for and more! Josh handled all the logistics behind the ceremony (played guitar as people came in, brought microphones, etc.). He then played during the cocktail hour and then handled our entire reception. He DJ’d and played acoustic based on our favorite genres/a few selected songs. Josh even personalized a couple songs on the guitar based on our likes and interests. It was a perfect mix of sweet/traditional wedding songs and songs that had everyone on the dance floor. Almost the entire guest list was on the dance floor at the same time! Josh was obviously a crowd favorite. Our guests are still raving to this day about how Josh was the best performer they’ve ever seen at a wedding. Would reach out to Josh as soon as possible if you’re interested! You will not regret it.

There aren’t words to fully describe how wonderful Josh is. We didn’t get to meet in person before the wedding due to COVID, but he was always available to talk to when I had questions. He was also so sweet when I asked for super last minute changes. His voice is absolutely beautiful. He sang and played guitar during the ceremony which was the absolute perfect touch. He made the ceremony so intimate and tasteful and just everything you could want for your special moment. He absolutely NAILED the reception. Josh made it so incredibly fun and was interactive with our guests. All of our friends have commented on how much they enjoyed him. 10 out of 10 recommend. Josh, you were just the best. Thank you so so much for being such a big part of our day. You made it so memorable, and exceeded our expectations. We could not have chosen anyone better!

Josh Klaus is hands down one of the best decisions you can make while planning your wedding! Josh has great reviews and seems to be really well known in Austin (we aren't from Austin), but you're never sure if someone will live up to the hype. We were BLOWN AWAY by Josh throughout the process. He was down to meet with us while we were in town a few months before the wedding and really took care to customize his approach in a way that captured my husband and I as a couple.

For example, we love listening to vinyl at home and it's always a fun activity when we host people at our house. Josh came up with the idea that during dinner, guests could come up and choose records from our own collection - he even brought his record player and hooked it up to his system. People have not stopped raving about how fun that was!

Josh was also happy to learn songs for us - his rendition of In a Week by Hozier was incredible. Some people didn't realize it was a cover - that is how good he is!

The bottom line is that Josh's energy and performance elevated our day from start to finish - I know he set the tone as soon as guests arrived and then guided everyone through our happy hour and dinner. By the time it was time to dance, you better bet he was out there with us for a couple songs! We've had several people from the wedding reach out for Josh's info - so you know that his performance really stuck with everyone!

If we ever have the opportunity to work with Josh again, we'll jump at the chance! Thank you Josh!!

Not much else to say, but WOW! Initially, we hadn't intended on having a live musician, but now (even a month after the wedding), our friends & family keep mentioning how great Josh was!

We had him setup to begin playing during eating, which didn't give him much of a crowd, but he rocked it. Then by the dances, Josh was a major focal point of the festivities!

2 things I enjoyed most about Josh (Aside from his actual singing/playing):
1. His ability to transition between songs seamlessly. We piped his playing throughout the whole venue & I couldn't find any moments when there were awkward pauses. At one point, I thought someone with phenomenal music taste had switched out the playlist being played on the Spotify.

2. His ability to incorporate what he had heard from the speeches into random ad-libs & transitions. My parents & best man got a few good jabs in (and some compliments) & Josh was able to incorporate them and give the audience a good laugh.

Josh was awesome! We hired him to play during our ceremony and our cocktail hour and he killed it! We knew he was good but holy smokes he blew away our expectations. During the entire process leading up to the event, he was very responsive and always got back to us right away with any questions or answers. We also asked him to learn a song last minute and he delivered. He's also like the nicest guy in the world too so if you are looking for someone who is an incredible singer and an even better person, this is your guy! Trust us!

Josh was such a fantastic performer and DJ at our wedding. He took the time to get to know us and learn the songs we requested to be played during our ceremony, which made it personal and extra special.

He kept the party going throughout the night and even mixed in live singing. His voice is so lovely and he is such a talent that all of our guests could not stop raving about him.

We could not have asked for more from our wedding performer and DJ. We cannot wait to see him perform live again!

WOW!! Josh was the BEST person for the job! All night people were asking us who he was and where we found him! He was the talk of the night! People kept saying they didn’t realize someone was singing live because it was so good! He had great song choices and when it was time to liven things up he knew exactly how to do just that! The DJ part of the night was so much fun! He is a one stop shop for your wedding music needs and you will not be disappointed!! We loved every moment! Thank you Josh for making our wedding so fun and memorable! We will be coming to see you perform whenever we have the opportunity! -Hollis and Alan

Josh was AMAZING. To start, we could not have asked for a better Musician/DJ to perform at our Wedding. He is a natural Entertainer and was incredible the entire night. We had him sing for the Ceremony and Cocktail Hour, and then DJ during the Reception. He was perfect at every role. Not only is he the greatest at what he does, he has the kindest heart. He greeted me with the biggest hug as soon as he got to the Venue, and was so personable with every guest he encountered. He was such a pleasure to work with and I would recommend him to anyone, without a doubt. He was our absolute favorite Vendor and the best addition to our day. We could not have asked for more.

From beginning to middle to end of our wedding journey, Josh has been a godsend! Yes, he literally saved our wedding.

We booked Josh about eight months before our big day, which was the second wedding we had to plan since the first one was cancelled due to Covid. We were able to get in touch soon thereafter and Josh immediately put us at ease by answering every single one of our questions...and we had a LOT! We knew right away that we had made the right decision.

Josh’s energy is contagious. We met up closer to the wedding day, got breakfast, and were just in awe at the passion he has for what he does. He truly, truly loves his job and that’s exactly what people should want in a DJ/Performer/Emcee at their wedding.

Thankfully, Josh is ULTRA-organized, and that made us again feel at ease because his Google Sheet that we filled out prior to our wedding encompassed every single detail of what will be covered by his services. Not a stone went unturned and he even offered to learn songs on the guitar for us for the first dance and the mother/groom dance.

And most of all, Josh is adaptable. Our wedding turned out to be NOTHING like we had planned, due to unfortunate weather. But Josh didn’t bat an eye and was able to work with us in-the-moment to make last-minute changes and literally move his gear across the entire property so that our wedding could still go on. And he did so with the most positive attitude that even though my bride and I were feeling down about the situation, we felt so much better after talking to him because we knew he had things covered. Josh went above and beyond what anyone could expect from a wedding vendor, and he truly facilitated all of the lasting memories that we and our guests took away from that night. And he stayed to party with us after the reception, which was so much fun!

We are forever grateful for Josh and the service he provided at our wedding. EVERYBODY who came was raving about Josh’s amazing voice, energy, and the selection of music he played.

We cannot recommend Josh enough for ANY type of ceremony or event. He’s the man!

As a wedding vendor myself, it means a lot to say that we love Josh. He’s professional, punctual and helpful as well as talented, fun, and flexible. Musically, his voice has an incredible range and natural tone that brings the best sound to all your favorite songs. He can read a crowd well and will deliver all the favorites, almost better than the originals. He’s very prepared, and knows his craft well, as well as charges incredibly competitive rates for the quality he offers. He’s a perfect fit for your ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner and reception. He’s versatile, and can offer everything from your processional song to being your reception DJ. He has a great personality and will liven any event. Everyone at our wedding raved about how incredible his music was. We couldn’t recommend him more for any live music event.

Where to even begin!?!?! Josh was such a wonderful part of my wedding day as our ceremony singer! I first heard Josh at a friends wedding, and I was wowed so hiring him for my big day was a no brainer!! Josh learned a specific song I requested for my professional and was so easy to communicate with in the planning process! All of my guests are still talking about his voice. I would definitely recommend Josh to any couple looking to add a unique touch to their wedding day!!!

You will not regret your decision to hire Josh! He is literally the absolute best! He can sing, dance, and DJ like no one else! He interacts with the guests and has fun! He’s incredible! Everyone is still talking about how great our DJ was! We love you Josh!
Don’t forget you’re family now!

My wedding was perfect, but hiring Josh was the best decision we made. He played live music for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and first dances and then seamlessly transitioned to DJing an epic dance party. He is so easy to work with and happily learned the songs for our first dance and mother-son dance. I admittedly sometimes turn on the Zoom recording of our wedding (#COVID) in the background just to listen to him sing again. By the end of the night, Josh felt more like a guest at our wedding than a vendor. He is kind, professional, enthusiastic, easy-going and his voice is the perfect soundtrack for your big day. I cannot recommend him more highly.

I wish I could give Josh 10 stars.. I was on the hunt for a wedding performer and instantly fell in love listening to his videos online. Over the next 1.5 years of wedding planning (thanks COVID), we would plan our date nights around where Josh was playing that weekend. Josh has an infectious smile, high-spirited personality, a heart of gold, and the most beautiful voice. I truly couldn't have imagined our wedding without him. All of our guests were in love with him and couldn't stop talking about how awesome he was all night long! I loved that he sang acoustic for the ceremony, but also played the role of DJ for the reception. No matter what kind of event you are hosting, JKlaus will be the perfect addition to your night.

Beautiful, wonderful, amazing voice. Perfect wedding sound! Learned the aisle song I wanted. He's the consummate professional when he's there as your musician. We are really, really glad we had Josh there to play for our ceremony and cocktail hour. You won't regret hiring him! P.s. my mom invited him to stay for the reception & he brought great energy to the party! Loved it :)

Josh is the perfect fit for weddings seeking modern/traditional acoustic music. He was incredibly punctual, professional, talented, amicable, and easy to work with. He helped us to not only have music at our wedding, but to have the perfect soundtrack to fall in love to all over again.

I found Josh Klaus through a random search for "ceremony music" for our Austin wedding. Turns out, he was the most raved about part of our ceremony and cocktail hour!!! He was absolutely amazing, crazy talented and a really cool guy! He took my crazy recommendations and made the songs work for both a ceremony, and then into an intimate / garden party setting. He had two set - ups and moved with us as the wedding moved throughout Hotel Ella. I would recommend Josh to anyone and everyone who wants amazing music for their wedding / party!!

Josh is an amazing vocalist and was perfect for my son’s wedding reception! His voice is so smooth, beautiful and pleasant and I received so many compliments from our guests. Josh is also an absolute professional to work with. I will recommend him highly and hope to work with him again!!

Josh was beyond amazing!! He made the entire music experience personal to us and he truly blew our expectations away by his voice, energy and super friendly personality.

Josh set up without asking anything from us as we were getting ready and he was super flexible with the schedule of the evening which wasn't always perfectly fluid (shocking, I know!). He happily became our announcer and guided the events of the night. Literally everyone loved him.

I honestly cannot say enough good things about Josh and our wedding guests were raving about him all night and weeks after the wedding. Josh even at one point jumped in and danced with us to the Wobble and engaged the entire crowd. We would recommend him over and over. Phenomenal! Thank you Josh!!

Josh was the highlight of our wedding! He brought such an intimate and romantic touch to our ceremony and cocktail hour; he is an extremely talented musician! I highly recommend him to anyone looking to add a heartfelt and unique experience to their event/wedding!

We had the distinct pleasure of having Josh play for our daughter's wedding. Between the heat and a small shower, Josh played on without a hitch. We first saw him at a restaurant Culinary Drop Out and thought he was sensational. Would love to have him at any party or venue.

We loved having Josh perform at our company retreat dinner last night! He honestly sounded even better than he had on the videos I saw here, and one of our colleagues actually didn't realize that we weren't listening to the radio! He was also flexible and adaptable and offered to stay even past our booked time when it seemed like our party would go late. Just a great attitude and a great sound. Would strongly recommend Josh for an event of this type.

Would definitely invite Josh back in the future!

I had Josh play the guitar and sing at my proposal which took place at the Zilker Park Botanical Garden. He was a professional through and through. I had given him a list of my favorite songs to play a couple of weeks before. On the day of the proposal, he promptly showed up and sung so well. He is super talented and, he can certainly play songs from different genres. He created a great romantic ambiance as my fiance and I walked around the garden. I would highly recommend him for any occasion.

He is the best singer, beautiful voice, nonstop singing for 4 hours. From the beginning when we start planing for my husband’s birthday party, josh was very good communicating with me, made me feel relax. He was on time with everything. He will let you feel that it is his party. Highly recommended.

We found Josh online and thought for sure he was too good to be true. Somehow, he not only lived up to what we had seen, but exceeded every expectation we had. He is amazingly talented, and has an energy and presence about him that can't be explained. He arrived early, stayed late, and was a huge enhancement to every piece of the wedding. From the ceremony, to cocktail hour, to dinner music, and singing/DJing the entire reception, he was captivating. Thankful to have gotten the chance to know him, he truly made our special night magical. CAN'T RECOMMEND HIM ENOUGH, everyone will still be talking about him for a long time to come!!!

We looked long and far for musicians to perform at our wedding that were not just part of the backdrop, but part of the event.

Josh and accompanying guitarist Matt were incredibly easy to communicate and work with. We put together a great set list for the cocktail hour and they arranged two of our favorite songs for the ceremony.

The final product was exactly what wanted -- it felt morel like a small intimate show than just a wedding performance. The musicianship and presentation was fantastic. Our guests felt like they had wandered into a great bar and were treated to two great performers -- which is exactly what we wanted.

We used Josh to play for our wedding last weekend (ceremony music and cocktail hour). Not only was he incredibly professional and easy to work with but extremely flexible and open to anything. His communication was impeccable and timely and he even went above and beyond to add new songs to his repertoire and to work with and accompany one of my friends (soloist) to make my day even more special and meaningful. Our guests loved him! His energy and charisma was contagious. Multiple of our guests are still asking for his contact information. He is an absolute gem of a human being and incredibly talented. I cannot imagine anyone doing a better job. We love Josh!

Josh played at my wedding on April 6, 2019. He was Great! He was super flexible in working with us, especially as we kept tweaking the set list. And when he arrived at the wedding I asked him for a Very last minute special request of a song I wanted him to play during my vows. Josh didn't skip a beat - he just went and learned the chorus of this song for me right then and there. All of our wedding guests that I've spoken to have commented on how great of a musician Josh is. My husband and I have made going to hear him a regular event. You can't go wrong with hiring Josh!

Josh was hired to play for our daughters wedding ceremony and cocktail hour at Camp Lucy. I have to say, YouTube does not do him justice. He has the smoothest voice and a wonderful repertoire of songs. He even learned a song for the Brides’s procession - which was beautiful. You will never be sorry if you hire Josh for an event. We enjoyed him so much.

Oh. My. Gosh. Josh was an INCREDIBLE performer that brought down the house at our wedding. We hired Josh for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. Throughout the evening, every single guest came up to us asking how we found him, where to find his personal albums, and even had around 5 guests tell us he should be on “The Voice”. Josh’s amazing voice carried through the night and executed the multiple songs we asked him to learn perfectly. I can’t even begin to describe just how jaw-dropping he sounds.. seriously... this dude is going to blow up soon with an amazing voice like that.

Towards the end of the night, Josh DJ’ed for us and got the entire crowd going nuts. He picked great songs to get the party turned up a notch!

Josh’s enthusiasm and genuine desire to make our night special was magical. Of all our vendors and people we dealt with through the wedding experience, Josh was by far the easiest. My wife and I agree the main reason why our wedding was so great was because of Josh Klaus. We can’t sing his praises enough!

We hired Josh for an intimate 50 person wedding at a French Chateau themed private estate on Lake Travis. His live performance was utterly phenomenal! Everyone at the wedding raved about it. I truly wish we would have been able to have him there longer! We would hire him again in a second and if he comes out with a CD everyone at the wedding said they would buy it in a heart beat. I would highly recommend him! His musical ambiance made our wedding even more magical. I truly hope his career sky rockets because I would love to hear more of him! (P.S our wedding was featured in the Brides of Austin magazine Fall of 2018).

Josh's performance is truly what made our event memorable. Everyone was talking about how great he sounded and was asking me for his contact information for future events. We love how his music is so lively, yet smooth, and how he is a great entertainer, yet not too overpowering to where conversations couldn't be had - he's able to adapt to fit whatever the event calls for. We'll definitely be asking Josh to perform at events in the future!

Probably the best decision we made concerning our wedding was to hire Josh to play the ceremony and cocktail hour. I can't tell you how many compliments from our guests that he got. Absolutely everyone loved him and his style of music and voice. Everyone!! The way he can strum and sing his own version of a top 40 song is truly special. I could've sat there all day and listened. He's also just a good guy and I don't say this often. He's the type of guy you would want to have a beer with. It won't take you more than a minute to see how genuine and kind he is. On one of the most important days in our lives Josh just outdid himself and made for some truly special memories. We are forever thankful for his beautiful performance in our wedding and if I ever have the chance to have him play again I won't hesitate to book him. Thank You, Josh.

Respectfully,
Mr. and Mrs. Steve and Kasey Rodriguez

I can't express enough how amazing Josh was. On top of being extremely professional and polished, he was So personable and made our event atmosphere so festive. I've heard few solo musicians with as much talent as Josh has. Guests could not stop talking about how much they enjoyed his performance. I will be telling everyone I know to hire him for their next event and will definitely be a return customer!
Thank You!

Josh was a great performer to have at our event. He kept our guests happy and the mood upbeat! Will definitely book with him again!

His choice of music, his voice, his enthusiasm made our wedding truly amazing. He was such a hit and everyone there was truly impressed. I can't recommend him enough. He is simply amazing and if you want your event to have that extra something awesome he is your guy! Also, if you are a record label, I would get him soon.

Josh was AMAZING. He played to our rehearsal dinner, and then he and his band played at our wedding and it was a highlight of both events! The charisma and overall joy that comes from the stage while he plays is so fun to be around. Would not hesitate to rebook Josh or his band for our next event- we have guests STILL talking about what a great job they did!

I hired Josh twice -for both my wedding reception and as a vocal artist for a song (studio session). Josh is a super talented vocalist, ever professional and always upbeat!! I can't say enough good things. During the ceremony he had everyone out dancing on the floor, he made sure, and he worked long hours in the studio, bringing amazing energy with him - which is not easy. Def recommend :)

Josh was the perfect compliment to our Sunday brunch wedding. He played acoustic guitar and sang all the best songs to set the perfect mood for our day! He was a pleasure to work with and is very talented. I think the music at our wedding was my most favorite thing (other than the groom, of course). This was three years ago and our guests still compliment me on this aspect of the day. It was simple, unique and just so perfect!!

Josh Klaus regularly performs at Austin Bouldering Project for our specialty Live Music Yoga classes. Our members absolutely love his acoustic sound and velvety voice. Josh is a true professional. He always arrives early, brings his own equipment and delivers a soulful performance. He's a great addition to any event you are hosting!

Josh is the perfect combo of professionalism, musicality, and generally being a really great guy! His talent is undeniable. I use this guy as often as I can, he always delivers!

We have had Josh play for us at 3 Double-O Nine Restaurant & Bar over the past 3 years on various weekends. He is a very talented musician and has a great time performing and engaging the customers with his music and conversations between sets. It is always a great time when Josh is in the house!

We hired Josh to sing at our wedding during our ceremony. He was fantastic and many of our guests mentioned how much they enjoyed him. Josh is extremely versatile and professional. He worked with us in determining a song list and just did an outstanding job.

Love having Josh at our events! Perfect addition to any event. Love how Josh can adjust to the situation to be in the background or the center of attention. His voice is amazing, his personality is even better. Have hired Josh many times in different settings and have never been disappointed!

Josh is one of my most favorite singers! He sang during my wedding reception and even wrote a song for me and my husband. He blew me away! He is phenomenal!

I first heard Josh play during a yoga class and was so blown away by his abilities that I asked him to play our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. We met with him beforehand to go over songs and timing for the ceremony, and he was on the same page instantly - he knew all of the songs we wanted and [so much] more. Several of our friends couldn't stop mentioning to us how great/entertaining/solid/why-isn't-he-signed-yet/awesome he was during the cocktail hour. Josh is such a great guy and talented guitarist/vocalist - you can't go wrong booking him - he is amazing!! Thanks again, Josh - so glad you were there!

Josh Klaus played with his band, Fierce Kelly, at our 2017 Oktoberfest. Not only was he profession and arrive on time & ready to go, he absolutely nailed his set. He brought the right energy to the event and really had everyone enamored with his talent. I look forward to working with him in the future.

NO really all jokes aside... Josh was one of the most memorable pieces of our wedding. I always say if I did my wedding over the only two thing I wouldn't do differently is a having Josh perform and marrying my husband. Josh came in to San Antonio from Austin right after work on a Friday. He arrived on time and happy to be there. Little did he know I was going to spring a song change on him at the very last moment...this was actually a song he had never performed before but he assured us he would learn it that evening. Of course the next day at our wedding Josh knew the song and sang it so wonderfully. Josh was a huge hit, everyone said how great he sounded and how entertaining he was. Many people asked for his contact info. I think with Josh you don't just get someone that you pay who shows up and sings and leaves you get an actual entertainer who can sing like nobody’s business. Josh is just one of those people that you just know has a good soul so we were so happy to have him at one of the most important days of our lives.

Josh has been playing in our restaurant for years and always provides the BEST entertainment for our guests. He has shown up last minute for us on several occasions and still manages to pull off a great show as if he had plenty of time to prepare for it! On several occasions, we were heading towards a pretty slow evening with business, and Josh's interaction with the tables kept them in the restaurant/bar area longer. He has such a fun and welcoming personality that it's not uncommon for guests to leave their table to make a song requests, then get up from their dinner table to start dancing along! Being in the hotel business, we see several different business conventions with a wide range of interests and demographic. All I ever have to do is tell Josh what time of group we have in house and he takes it from there! He has a WIDE variety of genres that he can play/sing and can immediately pick up on what the crowd wants to hear. He is by far the friendliest, easiest and most talented artist we have!

Josh played at our holiday party last year. We had so many people inquiring about his services the day after. I loved that we didn’t have to give him any ideas for music, I’m sure he takes requests but we let him do his thing and everyone loved it. He played all night long...his voice, his song choices and his energy ...everything was perfect!

Josh has been playing with our restaurant since we opened nearly 15 years ago. He is extremely polite and accommodating. He has always been responsible for his scheduled dates - including filling with an equally professional musician should he not be able to make the gig. He has played numerous private events for our customers throughout the years and everyone adores him. He is definitely a customer favorite and our favorite to work with!!

Josh played at a local Keller Williams event for me and killed it! The crowd LOVED him. His tunes were upbeat and perfect for a laid-back event. Josh was dependable, super easy to work with and just an all-around really great guy! We hope to work with you again soon!

We heard Josh at a friend’s wedding, it wasn’t soon after we knew we had to have him apart of our special day! Still to this day we have family and friends ask about the guy who could sing just about anything. I promise his voice doesn’t disappoint!
