Ian was such a pleasure to work with from start to finish. He was so organized and helpful in planning the music portion of our wedding. And on our wedding he and Kris were amazing!! So many people came up to us to tell us how fantastic the live music was and several people have asked me for Ian’s contact info. I only have amazing things to say about him and Kris and I am so thrilled we had them at our wedding. They truly helped make it such a special event.

Response from Ian Campbell:
Thank you so much for the kind words, Elizabeth! I truly appreciate it and so enjoyed playing for you and your guests!
Ian added a special touch to our party. We had about 100 guests. From the time I contacted him, he responded in a timely manner and provided me with a list of songs to choose. He played for 2 hours. He was a professional and talented musician. I will have him play at future events I have and will definitely recommend him to all of my friends. He would add a nice touch to any type of party, small gathering or large.

Ian played the ceremony and cocktail hour at my wedding and I couldn't have picked a better person. He sounded great, had a wide range of songs and everyone had a great time, but he also made it super easy to work with him. He asked the right questions, showed up on time, was very professional. Can't recommend him enough!

Influences & Inspiration
My influences span the gamut of music from golden age of radio to current acts like Dave Matthews Band.
I've spend my life listening to old swing bands like Glenn Miller, singing along with Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin, learning to play guitar by stealing my parents' Allman Brothers and Led Zeppelin cds and ultimately expanding my horizons into modern music and current Top 40 hits.
All of these musical styles make their way into different aspects of my performances. If you're looking for a well rounded performer who can play just about any musical style, I'm your guy.
Setup Requirements
All I need is access to an electrical outlet. I'll bring everything else!
