Solo classical guitar player available for restaurants, weddings, parties, and more. Elegant classical guitar background music. Requests accepted in an appropriate time for preparation.
Leo performed beautifully for our opera patrons in the lobby of Symphony Hall. Several people mentioned throughout both performances that they loved the live music. He was fully prepared in terms of setup and was great to work with. We're definitely going to be exploring future opportunities to hire him again in the future.
I hired Leo to play guitar for just my boyfriend and I in my backyard. It was my boyfriend's birthday and I wanted to give him a unique and memorable experience. He absolutely loved Leo's playing! Leo was friendly, professional and a great guitar player. We will definitely hire him again for other events.
Leo was perfect for my wedding ceremony. He even learned a song by my fiancé’s favorite musician per my request because I wanted to surprise him. Highly recommend hiring Leo!
Response from Leo Simons:
Thank you so much! It’s a surprise to me that it was a surprise! Happy to learn the both of them!
Leo was a great addition to our event. He was on time, professional, and an incredible guitarist! He really set such a great tone during our corporate cocktail hour and dinner. I would definitely hire him again!
Thanks a ton Leo! We had a great time and really enjoyed the music. I highly recommend your services to anyone looking for a wonderful guitarist.
Response from Leo Simons:
It was a great time playing for the party. Truly enjoyed it. Thank you again!!
Leo played for an outdoor, socially distanced family and friend gathering to help lift everyone’s spirits during coronavirus. His passion for music is clear. He plays with nuance and feeling. It was the best gift anyone listening could have received for body, mind, and spirit.
Hire him. His musicianship is truly beautiful.
Leo performed at my best friend's wedding ceremony in Sedona and was excellent. He was prompt, professional, and talented. Most importantly, his classical guitar music was at the perfect volume; adding ambience without overpowering people's voices.
Response from Leo Simons:
Thanks James! It was an honor to play. :)

I provide an elegant ambiance of easy listening music. Whether it’s background music for a fine dinner or cocktail party, romantic tunes to walk down the isle, or a performance to impress your friends and loved ones, I’ll suite to whatever you need.
Well rounded guitar player performer of 17 years. Early years consisted of local shows, Southwest tours with heavy metal and punk bands. Eventually continued to study classical guitar at the University of Arizona. Since then I’ve been gigging in bands and solo classical guitar in Las Vegas, Nevada and now Phoenix, Arizona. Currently play in an indie pop rock band doing originals and covers all over town and the Southwest. Also continuing my solo classical guitar career.
I can provide sound system that will work for small-large quieter atmospheres. If it’s an event that will be on a very large and louder scale I’ll need a sound system provided. I’ve played fine dining restaurants, large wedding dinners, cocktail hours, and large ceremonies. I don’t supply lighting or staging. My set up is very simple consisting of a chair, guitar, powered speaker, and music stand.
If you have requests I’ll generally need to know at least a month in advance. We can always figure something out of pressed for time.
