Overview
"Your music was perfect, fit the crowd, and sounded great!!!" - Shannon, R Cubed Lifestile, Sacramento
"Music for All Occasions" is a theme Peter Wilson has embraced. From concerts to nightclubs to living rooms - solo, duo, trio or dance band - Wilson has stayed busy entertaining those within earshot for decades.
"Peter was absolutely fantastic! Not only was he extremely communicative, he learned a special song for our wedding. He was on time, adapted to our venue and was a great addition to our wedding. Thank you for making our day special!! Would highly recommend!!!" - Kaity
I charge a minimum of $500 for solo performance. This includes a professional sound system and a great show.

Peter was very professional and showed up early to set up and get ready for my holiday event. He set the perfect "mood" for the party and the guests. It would not have been the same without Peter's musical talent! Highly recommend; thanks again.

Response from Peter Wilson:
THANKS Gayle!
This was my first time hosting a house concert and Peter immediately put me at ease. His solo guitar set included a variety of familiar tunes, original songs, and instrumentals. His musical choices were perfectly suited to the audience, who are now asking when I will host another concert! Thank you, Peter!
