Romantic and unique music

We were thrilled with the unique and gorgeous music for our wedding. John was so easy to work with and listened to our dreams for our wedding. There was not a dry eye in the place and all of our guests were blown away by the beauty of the music. We wanted a unique and romantic experience that fit our personalities and love story and we got it. Thank you for such a moving experience.

Wedding Music Genius

Lovely music was provided for my wedding in Atlanta, the opening ceremony music set the scene for a really romantic and beautiful afternoon to come. So thankful we had the beautiful guitar to welcome our guests, I cannot recommend this experience enough. The music filled the church with the exact sound and feeling we were looking for.

John was fantastic! A+++

John was the PERFECT musician for our wedding - he played our song of choice ("Here Comes The Sun") beautifully, and was kind, punctual, and professional. Could not be happier. Thank you John!

Romantic, elegant, masterful musicians

Echoes of the Old World create a lilting, powerful, beautifully romantic sound wherever and whenever they perform. I hired them for my wedding a few years ago. John and Charles are particular about every element of the sound, the song selections and their presence is unmatched. What I mean by "unmatched presence" is look around - the typical, run of the mill "wedding background" musicians who often don't even press their shirts are just not as "GQ" as these 2.

These supremely talented musicicans are cool, they are charming and they are meticulously intelligent about what songs to play and when to play them. They even know when to add a saxophone or horn player - maybe a viola, maybe even an electric bass guitarist - tell them what you want and they will customize the exact sonic approach that leaves your wedding guests talking about the musicianship at your event for years to come.

If you are hiring a single guitarist, look no further than world-renowned John Huston for authentic, bright and sonically gorgeous renditions of 100s of well known classical and popular songs, and 100s more that will appeal to any deep-diving enthusiast of classical guitar and world music.

Echoes of The Old World are a duo - the sound of John's guitar is accompanied by Charles Lamont-Garner, a world-renowned percussionist and drummer. Charles has performed with a who's who list of singers and bands is a generational talent - ask multi-platinum artist India Arie, who relies on him for her band tours and for her recordings, for decades. Charles is a commanding performer and combined with john, these two have a "thing" that makes any wedding scene better.

Echoes of the Old World are perfect for a very romantic wedding procession, perfect during the wedding for almost any song that the bride and groom may want, and they can even keep a massive, jazzy, funky, lively groove going for hours at the rehearsal dinner, the reception or at any kind of party that needs superior, unique romantic sound.

Ask around - these two geniuses are known for being two of the very best players not just in Atlanta, but worldwide. Look for Echoes of the Old World on Spotify and Apple Music and listen for yourself - hire them!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
