I am a singer/songwriter based out of Sacramento, CA with a knack for solo acoustic performance. Whatever vibe you’re looking for, I can make it happen. I feel that music is such an awesome way to bring people together, and I’d be honored to help make your event the best it can be.
I play both covers and originals, and do take specific requests if enough time allows for me to learn them. This is a solo project and not a full band.
“The Lost Wayne” was one of the first artists to chat with for our event and what an amazing find! Hunter for sure gained some fans tonight for sure!
Response from The Lost Wayne:
Thank you Marsha! I had so much fun at your event. Your words mean a lot, and thank you for having me be a part of your fantastic evening. I appreciate you!
