Overview
Beautiful guitar music, either quiet background for your reception, or as part of the event, weddings, or dinners. I play a variety of styles from classical, folk, flamenco, Latin, blues, and standards. I also have an excellent acoustic bass player who can join me. What folks have said: “Miguel was the guitar soloist for the music at our just completed wedding and we could not have been happier with his beautiful and loving playset. Miguel was a joy to work with from our first meeting full of great questions and ideas for our ceremony and beyond… to the day of the event." -Ed Zuckerman
I think my specialty, is that I am able to adapt to the event.

We had Miguel at our fundraising auction and he was fantastic! Everyone loved the music and he was very kind and flexible. Definitely recommend!

Miguel played at our not for profit auction event and was not only incredibly kind but also played incredible music. We had over 175 in attendance and everyone spoke highly of his music. We would definitely recommend him to anyone that loves an acoustic sound!

We had our wedding last week and I'm so happy we hired Miguel and Daniel for the live music. Miguel played beautiful solo guitar at the outdoor ceremony, and he and Daniel played together at the reception (at a separate indoor venue). The music was a big highlight of the day and everyone had a blast, my husband and I most of all!
Miguel was great about communicating with us throughout the planning process. He even gave us some great advice for our ceremony and how to maintain the flow of the day. We took his advice to heart and it made a big difference in how smoothly everything went. A few weeks prior, we also had a zoom call during which he played us the processional and recessional songs and we discussed the ceremony in detail. It was extremely helpful!
The day of, they were there early and got set up and, even with time constraints and getting back and forth from the different venues, we truly had nothing to worry about. Miguel played classical guitar as the guests were arriving at the garden. The processional music was beautiful, perfectly timed, and set the tone for an elegant and intimate ceremony. Then the recessional music was a happy and celebratory song.
The reception music was a great mix of different styles, some upbeat Latin and flamenco, swing, blues, as well as some ambient classical. They followed the vibe of the party and played whatever fit the moment. We danced and had a great time. Every note was a pleasure to listen to, and all of the guest commented to my husband and I how much they enjoyed the music.
I could not have been happier with the level of skill, care, and professionalism these gentlemen brought. Thanks so much Miguel and Daniel for making sure our special day went so perfectly. Can't wait to find an excuse to hire you guys again!

Miguel was very easy to coordinate with and his communication was appreciated throughout our planning and leading up to the day. He asks great questions which felt like he was interested in really getting a feel for what we were hoping for.
Initially he was able to provide some ideas for what might work for our event (my wedding). We had a pretty traditional flow to the ceremony where he played background or ambient classical guitar as guests arrived, then began the ceremony with songs for the officiant/groom/ring bearer to walk down to, then played a lovely song for the bride to walk down to. Then, he played a happy tune for us to close with. He continued to play as our guests mingled and made their way to drinks and food. His passion for his craft was so obvious. At one point I looked over and saw Miguel absolutely jamming, completely in the zone with guests listening in as they explored the space. Everything he played sounded great and the way he carried himself as a musician was fantastic. I talked to my friend who is a pianist and long-time guitar player and his quote was “the dude’s got skills!”
For our wedding, it was great to have someone who was willing to make sure that the timing of his playing fit exactly with our ceremony. We could tell he cared about his role in the ceremony and making sure we were on the same page. He also offered us a zoom call to help show us a couple options for songs, and my wife loved the song he suggested for her to walk down the aisle to.
It was a very special day aided by a fantastic performance from this guitarist. Thank you Miguel!!

Miguel's beautiful music created some of the most memorable moments of our wedding. He did it all - played beautiful background music, mostly classical, as our family and friends gathered for the ceremony. He then launched into his own special version of Light My Fire for the processional followed by a moving rendition of And I Love Her that brought tears to our eyes. Finally, he played a rousing arrangement of Mustang Sally for the recessional that had us dancing! He did this with hardly any effort on our part. We met with him once to talk about what we wanted and he did the rest. We love Miguel!

Thanks so much! And what a beautiful wedding- Thanks Miguel
Miguel Perez-Gibson and his son Daniel Perez-Gibson were hired to play our Open House event celebrating UW Neighborhood Clinic's new primary care clinic in Olympia. I cannot recommend them more highly if you are looking for music to create a calm and celebratory atmosphere for your event.
I left it to Miguel to select the music he felt was appropriate and his selections were spot on: It was beautiful, and at the same time calm and energetic. I heard over and over from the staff and guests how much they enjoyed the music. They were also quite flexible in that we also had the Husky Pep Band playing sets outside, so they were trading the spotlight back and forth. During one of Miguel and Daniel's sets they invited the Pep Band's trombone section to jam with them and that was truly a highlight!
Both Miguel and Daniel are easy to work with, were engaged with the audience, and very skilled musicians. Their music added just the right flair for our event.
Thank you so much guys!

Thanks so much Kim! It was a honor to be the "opening" band for the new neighborhood clinic. Daniel and I enjoyed being part of the celebration. Miguel
Miguel and his son were absolutely the perfect choice for a friend’s celebration of life. Their entire contribution from the time they arrived to departure was exemplary and professional. The music choice and their talented performance were exceptional. When future events require music, our first choice will always be Mr. Miguel Perez-Gibson and his son.

My wife and I don't always have the same taste in music, though it's very important to us both. When it came time to get hitched at Kiana Lodge, we scrambled to find someone we both loved to play the ceremony. With time running short, we rolled the dice on Miguel. It was one of the best decisions we made. Miguel was a consummate professional who managed to balance technical mastery on the guitar with charisma, warmth, and flexibility with our schedule. The music was perfect. The man is a great addition to any party.
Thanks, Miguel!

We contacted Miguel just seven days before our event. Our original entertainment had fallen through and we were feeling desperate. Miguel will be our first choice from now on! He was a consummate professional. He was on time, ready to play and very reasonably priced. But the most important thing is that he is an amazingly talented musician. We could not be happier with our experience with Miguel and I hope to have the opportunity to work with him again in the future.

I too had the pleasure to experience Miguel's talent at the Bordeaux wine dinner. His style and attention to his craft is a sure pleasure for anyone looking to have that added touch to their occassion. Thank you for being so passionate about your art! Cheers!!
Miguel played exceptional classical guitar as part of a special dinner celebrating the great wines of Bordeaux, hosted by Waterstreet Café in collaboration with Grand Vin Wine Merchants. Miguel played beautifully for our guests. Looking back, we cannot imagine the dinner without him. His musical selections were exactly what we had hoped for, and he skilfully integrated his playing into the dinner program. We feel privileged to have enjoyed Miguel's beautiful music as part of our event. We certainly will ask Miguel back to play for us again, and we highly recommend him to any organization or group of friends who would like wonderful music to brighten a special occasion.
