Marc made my wife’s 40th birthday party a huge success. He arrived right on time, and was playing live music right on schedule. He played the type of music we love and took all the requests our guests made. He was so pleasant and professional. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for great live music to entertain their guests.

Thanks for the kind words Jaime It was an absolute pleasure to play for a great group of people.
Marc performed this weekend for my Mother’s surprise 70th birthday party. He was excellent! Numerous guests raved about him and asked where did I find him. If you are looking for a great backyard or any relaxed atmosphere with good music look no further! I highly recommend Marc and would book him again.

It was an absolute pleasure to play music for a fun crowd. Thank you for hiring me and for the kind words.
Marc was super professional! He showed up early to our bridal shower having everything that he needed, didn’t ask for a thing. Marc played a wonderful variety of music that was upbeat and at a perfect decibel that didn’t interfere with our guests conversations, yet extremely enjoyable! I highly recommend him and would definitely hire him again for any of our future celebrations! Thanks Marc!!!!

Marc played a short set for my parents anniversary Cele and he did not disappoint. He set the perfect mood and played all the right songs. Organizing the event with him was easy as well. He was available to speak on the phone and responded to messages on this platform promptly. I would highly recommend Marc.

It was an absolute pleasure to play for your family. Thank you for picking me for your special event.
We hired Marc for a small backyard get-together for close friends and family and he did not disappoint! His vocals and guitar playing were excellent and the variety of songs and musical genres were exceptional. Marc is super easy to work with and the planning was effortless. We didn’t want him to leave - his music made a backyard gathering in to a very memorable event! We will definitely use him again- Highly Rrcommend!

I booked Marc for my dad's 70th birthday. Due to social distancing, Marc setup and played in the driveway while my family hung out on the lawn. It was amazing ! Our own private concert ! Marc nailed every song ! Great Voice, Great Guitarist!

Thanks so much. It was a pleasure to play music while watching family and friends celebrating and enjoying the day.
Hired Marc via Gigsalad for my parents backyard 50th anniversary party and it worked out perfectly. Marc was great with pre-party communication and had a huge song list to choose from. He then offered to learn some other songs for special requests. He showed up early to the party, got setup with all of his own equipment (even brought his own water and such) and played nonstop for 2 hours. Played all of our requests and was a perfect addition to the party.
I highly recommend Marc to anyone who is on the fence about hiring a live musician (it was the 1st time I had done something like this an it really made the day that much more special for my folks). It was also the 1st time I used the Gigsalad sight and that process was very smooth as well.
5 Stars, great experience/booking for me, will contact Marc again in future if in need of live music. Thanks Marc.

What to Expect

About
I am a guitarist/ vocalist with over 25 years of experience in performing music for all types of events. I am very easy to work with in discussing what is required musically for an event. I am a skilled guitarist and have experience in many band situations as well. The key to a great evening of music is to keep the flow of songs going and not talk on the mic alot. My job is to scan the crowd and find what music keeps them in a happy mood. When hired I arrive minimum , an hour prior so that I can see whats the best set-up for my equipment. I use an HK Audio- Lucas Nano PA system which deliver excellent acoustic sound for any venue. I can also hook an IPOD or mp3 player up to it for in between breaks to keep constant background music going. I have many references if needed and can travel from Montauk to the city. I look forward to playing your event.
Additional Booking Notes
All that is required is a shaded area near a power outlet if it's an outdoor event. I bring all sound equipment necessary. I also can supply music of the clients choice when taking a break.
