Response from Ravi Lamb:
Mahalo Grace!!!
It was such a wonderful evening and Milo is a gem!!
Our company Christmas party on Oahu could not have gone better, and we owe much of it to to the musical stylings of Ravi Lamb. His ability as a guitarist added much to the ambience, and his skills in slack key, instrumental guitar, and knowledge of jazz standards were a welcome addition to our event! We will definitely be considering Ravi for all future musical needs.
As a Jazz musician myself (pianist), I can’t express in only words how impressed I was with Ravi’s talent and accommodations to fulfilling our playlist requests for our company event. You’ll need to just hear him play for yourself!
That said, at a high-level, Ravi is very consistent in playing Jazz tunes and covering all of the real book classics on demand, while also having the flexibility to play his own originals. He really fits into the evening ambience and I would recommend him for any event from black tie to casual. He’s also very reasonable and competitive with his rates.
Ravi’s Berkeley school of music chops are the real deal. As a client and fellow musician I would highly recommend his services. I’ve personally recommended him to other folks and they were also very happy with his performance and services. We will definitely work with him again in the future.
Ravi played at a wedding of a friends in Oahu. His mastery of Slack and Jazz guitar really set an atmosphere that made the day even more special ! 10/10!! I would recommend him to anyone looking to add an musical atmosphere to their wedding/event. His playing mixed with the ocean and landscapes created a beautiful memory I’ll never forget !!
Ravi played at our wedding ceremony and reception in Kailua. He was so nice and easy to work with. He was very responsive and he learned instrumental versions of requests we had for the ceremony. He is very professional while still being that laid back hawaiian musician, perfect!
We hired Ravi to play at my parents' 50th wedding anniversary and he was exactly what we wanted. His instrumental guitar playing was a perfect backdrop for our evening and he allowed us to talk and interact while still enjoying the beautiful sounds. He played hawaiian style "slacked key" guitar during the sunset giving the evening that authentic Hawaii feel. He then played some jazz and even took some requests of pop songs toward the end of the night.
