Steve Prentice - Singing Guitarist

I will work with you from the very start to ensure you feel great about choosing to work with me. This includes a phone/video chat in advance where I learn more about your event, preparation, technical guidance for hosting/setting up an in-person or online performance all the way through to its conclusion. I deliver a professional and prepared presentation, with quality performance as a top priority.

My act is like a Spotify playlist. I provide a menu of over 200 of the best upbeat tunes from the 1940s through to today. I can create the perfect setlist for you or you can have your guests choose, in real time, as the show goes on, what they want to hear. I get everyone singing along and feeling groovy and I will always prepare a special request or two for the host and the guest of honour.

Of course, I treat each gig as a serious business engagement, meaning I will meet with you by phone or by video chat in advance to learn more about your needs and any special requests, and whenever possible I will visit the location in advance as well. I am also able to give full step-by step guidance for virtual sessions on how to set up a video chat / virtual environment event for your guests wherever they are joining from.

For the event, I show up prepared, ready, and properly dressed, and will make sure that the performance reflects the theme of your evening. I play a couple of different guitars, acoustic, 12-string acoustic, and sometimes an electric guitar on an acoustic setting, through a professional portable PA. Most tunes are supported by high quality backing tracks and harmony vocals, with a few titles reserved for just me and my guitar, because they sound best that way. I also bring a second mic and a lyric screen for guests who want to get up and sing a tune or two with me.

I have been a professional performer for 30 years, as a keynote speaker, a voice actor and most favorite of all, as a singer and musician. This means my whole career has been about putting on a great performance to satisfy an audience and to help event planners know they have made the right choice. I am here to make you look good and to take away the stress and the unknowns that come with putting on a show. And, of course, to give guests and audiences a memorable and fun time.

I bring a small PA, microphones, a stool, three guitars with stands, my pedal board and some extension cables. All I need from you is a space about 6' by 6' wide. For virtual events I perform in a studio.
