Hi,
My name is Kenny Earnest.
I am a guitarist (acoustic-electric), singer-songwriter available for weddings, private gatherings & corporate events. I have an eclectic mix of songs and styles that will satisfy most musical tastes. I can provide all the music for your 'special day', including light cocktail & dinner music and will even learn any special songs you might want as part of your event!
We booked Kenny for my wife's 50th birthday party and he was awesome! We had around 50 guests, and had a little stage area set-up in our backyard. Ken brought all of his own gear and the quality of the sound was excellent. He played for 3 hours with just a minimal break time, and was an absolute pleasure to work with. He has a huge playlist, and we loved it all... everything from the Eagles to Train to Coldplay to playing a Freebird request, Kenny really helped make our party a success. I highly recommend him to anyone looking some quality music from a good guy and a quality musician.
Kenny was accommodating, professional, and a great guitar player/singer. We hired him for our wedding on short notice and, not only did he exceed expectation, he went above and beyond to make our night a huge hit! Hire this guy!!!
Price Range: $350-$800

FACTS:
Looking for that 'special' music for your wedding ceremony/reception(?) or, you want great entertainment for a company event but don't want to pay the [thousands of] bucks for a full band(?) or, you're throwing an annual soiree/party and you want a segue of great music that each & every guest will enjoy(!?). Whatever entertainment needs you have I will make sure that they are fulfilled. Rest assured that, by hiring me, you get not only a top-level performer (one who's always prompt, personable, captivating & courteous) but, also... above all... a consummate professional with decades of 'know-how' and entertainment experience. Please do contact me today!
***WEDDING CEREMONIES:
If you prefer traditional music for your wedding ceremony I can perform "Canon in D" or perhaps you would like to walk down the aisle to a more contemporary selection like "Marry Me" by Train. I will work with you and assist you in selecting the perfect music for your most important day.
***HISTORY:
My Dad started me playing guitar at age 10 and I've continually developed my guitar-playing skills, having written more than 150 original songs and special pieces of music. In my career, I've supported such major acts as: The Goo-Goo Dolls, Matchbox Twenty, Glen Frey(The Eagles), John Waite, Eddie Money, Tonic, & Pat Benatar, having also performed at venerable venues like: the Bren Center, Coach House, Galaxy Theater, the Roxy, Verizon Amphitheater & Whiskey-a-GoGo.. and all the memorable gigs in between.
***EQUIPMENT:
I have ALL of the musical equipment required for ANY event. I have battery powered speakers in the event that there is no electricity available (beach or park). I can also supply a wireless microphone which can be used by the wedding officiant or for making announcements and toasts!
