Solo Guitar and Vocals for Your Event
Weddings, birthdays, backyard parties, corporate events, and anything else where live music makes the room better. Solo guitar and vocals, with a repertoire that leans on classic rock covers, coffeehouse favorites, and feel-good songs people recognise straight away.
The whole point of a solo acoustic set at a private event is that it lifts the room without taking it over. Guests should be able to talk. That’s a volume and repertoire decision, and getting it right is most of the job.
Weddings, Across the Timeline
A wedding usually needs music at several points, and one musician across all of them is simpler than three handoffs. Wedding ceremony music including the processional and recessional, cocktail hour while people find their seats, and a first dance song arranged properly for one guitar and one voice.
Send your song choices early. An arrangement that sounds effortless on the day took some working out beforehand, particularly when the original is a full-band recording.
What You Need to Send
Date, venue, rough timings, and the general feel you’re after. That’s enough for an availability check and a quote. From there the details worth pinning down are set length and breaks, whether it’s indoors or outdoors, power access, and whether the venue has a PA or you need one brought.
A looper setup is available when an event wants a fuller sound from one player, and duo or full band options can be arranged when the occasion calls for it.
Where
Austin plus a 100-mile travel radius. Recent bookings have covered Austin proper and out to Buda, and the radius reaches Dripping Springs, Georgetown, Kyle, San Marcos, New Braunfels, Wimberley, and Marble Falls.
Why a Gigging Musician Matters
Over 100 shows a year at Austin venues, hotels, and restaurants means the unpredictable parts of an event are familiar. Speeches running long, a crowd that goes quiet, an outdoor set that needs to get louder when the wind picks up. Reading a room and adjusting is routine.
For venue and hospitality bookings, restaurants, hotel lobbies, recurring residencies, see live music for restaurants and hotels. To enquire about a private event, use the contact page or call directly; event booking is separate from lesson subscriptions and gets its own reply.
