Hello and thanks for taking a minute to learn about me and my musical services. I am a professional classical guitarist with a Masters Degree in Music yet I have a diverse background of music. Though I am from Maine, currently living in Charleston, SC, I have lived or traveled in musically rich areas like San Francisco, Spain, France, Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, even the Appalachian Mountains and it has been very fun for me to share this plethora of music in the Charleston music scene and at many extraordinary weddings during the past ten years. While I specialize in classical and spanish/latin guitar, I have an extensive repertoire of pop (Marry Me, 1000 Years, You Are the Sunshine of My Life, etc), jazz (Fly Me to the Moon), classic rock (Beatles, Van Morrison), and oldies (My Girl, Stand by Me, Happy Together). If it’s not on my song list - I’m always happy to learn new music upon special request! Also, I have top of the line unparalleled professional musical equipment, such a battery powered mobile amplifier and electric CLASSICAL guitar to deliver CD quality playing with impeccable timing and enthusiasm of a live performer. My most popular package includes The Prelude seating music, Ceremony selections, and Cocktail Hour. Let me know how I can customize any of this for you! If you have a moment please listen to me on iTunes or Youtube. Thanks!
