I couldn’t be happier with the Reverend Doctor’s entertainment at my husband’s surprise 70th birthday celebration!!!!
He is an amazing artist, performer/musician. He was on time, professional, friendly, and skillfully worked the crowd,
He helped me with the playlist selection and even learned my husband’s favorite song!
I wish you had a scale that rated up to 20+!
I will definitely hire Reverend Doctor for my future events!

Deeply honored to be a part of your celebrations, Victoria. It is a pleasure working with you. There is so much love in your family and friends. I hope we cross paths again soon!
Definitely will be hiring again! Reverend Doctor is amazing. We hired him for a nonprofit fundraiser, and he rocked the house. We only wish we had booked him for more time.

Keith was absolutely amazing. The best vibes, voice and attitude! He was so awesome to work with and our guests loved him. A month later I am still getting emails from our guests asking who he was. I cannot recommend Keith enough!!!

Bernice! It was a pleasure playing for you and your folks. Such warmth and love in the room. Thank you for inviting me 💜.

I booked Reverend Doctor for our annual Christmas Party and he was most certainly the highlight of the evening for everyone there! I booked him after watching what he did in some of his videos and have to say that the videos do not do justice. His live performance will blow you away! From his voice to his work on the guitar and seamless looping and layering of songs - this guy is polished! Being a professional musician myself and with several musicians at the party not only did Reverend Doctor captivate is all but welcomed musicians to join him. His high level of professionalism should also be noted and I would strongly recommend him for ANY event. We look forward to having him play again and will be locking him in for the next party before anyone else can :).

Keith was really great! Before the event, it was really easy to communicate with him. He was on time and prepared for the gig. He maintained really great energy throughout the 2 hours, and I received lots of comments about how great he was. Will likely bring him back for future events.
Awesome

Keith was great! He has a beautiful voice and adds his own flair to all the music he covers. He created the perfect ambiance for my birthday. Everyone loved him and had the best time at my party. Thank you, Keith! We will be seeking your services again.

Reverend Doctor was such a great addition to our atmosphere. His range of music spans across so many genres and is somehow so uniquely his own as notes sing from his guitar. His strings and voice filled out space so beautifully.

Keith has been great to work with from beginning to end. Communication was fantastic, his instructions for set up and take down were clear and concise, and he ABSOLUTELY KILLED it at our wedding. He has a beautiful voice, an amazing playlist, and was able to pick it up when we began to dance. I would hire Keith for weddings, dinner parties, birthdays, anniversaries, you name it! I will definitely be using Keith again!!! THANK YOU!

I love all music and Keith was able to deliver. Made a friend as well. My family had so much fun and he rocked till some booties popped. I will be hiring him again in the future. Thank you so much Keith. Can’t wait to have you back.
Keith was an absolute dream! Our Day Program really enjoyed his fresh take on classic songs. The Reverend Doctor was flexible our program schedule, he was extremely professional, and interacted with our clients with so much charisma. We all look forward to having him back at our Therapeutic Program.

Happy valentines, again! 💜🎉
I hired Keith for our trade show at the lobby registration area to create a welcoming ambiance. Our attendees cannot stop talking about him and what a nice experience he provided for our event. It was the first time that we had a musician and it was definitely a success. I will definitely have Keith again for our events in the future when we are back in the LA area.

OMG. Our neighbors and friends are still talking about the music at my husbands 65th birthday party. Rev Dr. came in, set up and the party started, getting better and better with every song. We asked for Motown sounds and that’s exactly what we got and so much more! We’ll definitely hire him back again!

It has been about a month since we celebrated my son graduating from college and we are still talking about such a great performance by Reverend Doctor. The perfect touch to get the party started! Thank you very much! We are looking for an excuse to do it again. Thank you!
Reverend Doctor was the shining star at our event. He had such a positive attitude, easy to work with, the guests enjoyed his energy and he engaged with the guests in such an interactive way. Many of our guests complimented us for having him at our event.

Our event was for a family member who passed away, and Reverend Doctor was awesome. He kept the tempo perfect (wasn’t a party, but not too somber) and celebrated my family members life beautifully.
Would strongly recommend to anyone.

Keith did an amazing job setting the mood for our guests as they entered we the venue before the ceremony and exited. We had many friends after the fact come up and say how great of a touch it was to have him singing songs but Elvis, etc. Not to mention he has a killer voice! We would hire him again in a heartbeat.
Thank you Keith!!

Kelsey and her husband were super excited and easy to work with. I had so much fun adding a special touch to their day. Congrats you two!
We had an intimate dinner party at our home and requested some acoustic guitar/singing for our dinner. Overall, The Last Gold Leaf had great talent and presence, however, there were just some slight scheduling and organizational concerns. We would recommend him to others and will request his services in the future!
Thank you!!
Singing Guitarist
Excellent musicians. Wonderful sound. Amazing evening. Could not have been more perfect!
Keith was great. I wish I would have had him mic-ed because he sang quieter than a lot of guitarists I have experienced. His music was excellent, a great variety. He is super kind, on time, and enjoyed by all. I would definitely hire him again in the future.
Singing Guitarist
Not much more to say than fantastic. showed up early to set up. Played a great mix of music. Very personable, easy to talk with, laid back and groovy. I would recommend to any one who wants to hear great music from a great guy. Our friends are still talking about how good he was.

What to Expect
Our show is a mix of live-looping and acoustic songs. One performer with a single guitar and microphone recreates the arrangement of an entire band with an instrument called a looper pedal right in front of the audience: nothing they hear is pre-recorded! Mixing guitar techniques, along with beat-boxing, and drum machines you hear an entire band or orchestral arrangement come to life before your very ears! You have to see to believe it.

Additional Booking Notes
Taken directly from my tech rider:
Thanks for your interest in booking a show for Reverend Doctor. Below is a list of our technical requirements. This may all be a bit formal, but it’s not meant to inconvenience you. We wrote this so your show and our performance can be successful! If there are any questions or if you have trouble providing anything mentioned in this please contact us before the show and we’ll work something out.
OUR STAGE SETUP IS:
1 Vocal
Stereo Looper Pedal
VENUE REQUIREMENTS:
We assume that there will be a well-sized PA system provided for the concert room with sufficient power to supply a clean and undistorted 98dB SPL RMS to the mixing desk and a feedback-proof monitor system. For this particular show, Reverend Doctor can provide a PA with all the necessary mics and cables at an additional cost. If not, the feedback-proof monitoring system is important because of the use of the looper pedal. Sound and feedback can quickly become a problem if the monitor system is not set up successfully. If the venue requires it, for the looper pedal there should be 2 Passive DI boxes provided by the venue to provide a balanced signal to the board. Otherwise, 2 quarter inch cables will be needed to provide signal from the looper pedal to the board.
PA and Monitor system
Appropriate cables for both
2 DI boxes for 1/4 inch to XLR or 2 appropriate length 1/4 inch cables to sound board
1 appropriate length XLR cables and microphone.
2 tripod-style vocal mic stands with telescoping ability (the vocalist is 6’3”).
Provided by Reverend Doctor:
We provide a high gain-before-feedback mic to aid in making the looping pedal a success. The mic and acoustic guitars are sent to the looper pedal that has 1/4 inch outputs, one each for the left and right channels. I have an additional Beta SM 87 vocal mic for sending to the board for when I wish to sing but not have vocals looped.
Acoustic Guitar
Looper Pedal
N/D957 Electro Voice Microphone
Beta SM58
Frontline Description:
We will need at least one stage monitor with reverb, EQ and Compression available on all channels to the front of house and monitors.
Staff:
We will need a qualified sound engineer, stage technician, and lights technician if your venue requires it. At the moment we do not have a regular engineer, so we depend heavily on the on-site-staff.
Sound & Lighting:
Overall, we prefer a natural sound, just a touch of reverb on the vocals should be appropriate. Overall, the show has a very wide dynamic range, so please use compression. Overall, the lighting should simply be enough for the pedalboard and guitar to be visible while on stage.
__
Merchandise:
A small table (approx 3ft x 3ft) or card table and a small light or some candles in the same room as the show, if possible.
Thanks for your help!
