I perform classical guitar, flamenco guitar, and Brazilian guitar music (samba, bossa-nova, etc...). I am available to play at weddings, parties, festivals, restaurants, and cafes.
Great musician!
Michael is extremely talented. His performance at our wedding was perfect. He arrived early and was able to setup in plenty of time. All in all, he did a great job!
A great deal of planning went into my Opening Celebration and Matthew was an excellent choice. His contribution to the ambiance and feel of the event was amazing. He played for two hours straight and interacted flawlessly with the participants. I will keep Matthew in mind for future events and recommend him highly.
Matthew was timely, professional and pleasant to deal with. He is a talented performer and really added a spark of magic to our event. Loved the music! If you are looking for a classical guitarist I would highly recommend Matthew Ocone.
