Review Centre: Singing Guitarists

"I had the pleasure of having Julian perform at my recent birthday party in Girona, and I can’t recommend him highly enough. From start to finish, he was fantastic—his vocals were impressive, and he kept the energy high throughout the night. Communication was excellent from the very beginning. Julian was responsive, professional, and made sure to understand exactly what we wanted for our event (especially on a playlist front). On the night, he delivered a great mix of acoustic songs and really engaged with our guests. What really set him apart was his willingness to go the extra mile. After his set, he kindly stayed later than planned so we could use his speakers for our own playlist, which made a huge difference to the party atmosphere. If you’re looking for a great singer who’s easy to work with and genuinely cares about making your event special, you won’t be disappointed with Julian. "

Rebecca, thank you so much for this wonderful review! It was a pleasure to play at your birthday in Girona, and I’m really glad the music and the setup helped make the night special. Your group had an amazing energy — thanks again for having me!

"Sean Kershaw and The New Jack Ramblers ROCKED the House! Simply put, if you are looking for a typical, run of the mill house band for your party these guys are not that. They were outstanding, engaged the crowd and had people jumping out of their seats. It was a real pleasure to work with them, and I look forward to our next event."

"The singer Christine arrived in time (arriving from Montreal to Ottawa). Christine was singing and playing guitar. The singing was excellent, the guests perceived it very well. Christine also plays guitar nicely. She was also very nice and approachable - the guests asked for a few extra songs, and Christine performed them as well. I really enjoyed the evening, and was very happy I invited Christine."

"I would highly recommend Joe, he was very professional from the first time I contacted him. Prior to the event we requested a few songs that were not in his repertoire and he was very obliging in making sure he brushed up on them. His singing was brilliant and it just made the party very special. If you hire Joe I assure you that you will not be disappointed he is definitely worth every penny."

"I found Grant Swift online and I learned that he really lives up to his reviews! He was an excellent addition to our wedding reception, and I heard nothing but rave reviews about him all night. He is truly a "one man band" with a big brass sound. In addition to his regular repertoire, we requested 2 specialty songs for the first dances, as well as a Pennsylvania "Polka bridal dance" tradition, and he really came through on all fronts. If you are looking for live music for your event, I cannot recommend Grant highly enough. His punctuation on response and arrival, overall sound and professionalism, and quality of service is outstanding. I promise you that the only thing you'll be disappointed with is not booking him sooner!"

"Matt plays at The Red Lion for a while now for birthday parties, random Saturday evening or outdoor events . Great entertainer, he “reads” the crowd and gets everyone involved. Always a good turnout when he is here!"

"Felipe was fantastic! He was very responsive and organized. He called me the day of to talk through the schedule and details of the event. He showed up early and was super laid back and "go-with-the-flow" when I asked him to move after he had already set up! His music was perfect for our outdoor reception - he had a great voice and was very talented with the guitar. Even the music he played during his breaks was perfect. I would definitely recommend him!"

"Well now I need to go and plan another event just to have Drew back, so I can enjoy his music a little longer ha ha. That is, if you love the harmonica, guitar and the blues dobro, I could listen to it all day. On a serious note, my memorial event for my father who passed was MADE because Drew was able to take one of my Dads songs he wrote and make it come alive. Along with singing other chosen special songs too, (amazing Grace on the dobro was something I didn’t know I needed) it made the whole event. I was so thankful for the extra time and care he took with the song, and working with me! Definitely recommend Drew, you won’t be disappointed!"

"DO NOT HESITATE! I would like to save you all a lot of time looking at 30/40 acts to have at your special occasion. I looked at Joe first and compared those 30/40 others to him and none came close. Joe's voice is nothing short of exceptional! I do not say that lightly either. I do not want to make this sound like the"JD appreciation society" but I honestly believe if you book Joe you will be able to say " we had Joe at our doo" to all your friends when he if famous. Apart from the obvious great voice and beautiful guitar ability, Joe is one one the nicest lads I have came across in my lifetime, nothing is too much trouble and everyone at our wedding absolutely loved him. Even the staff at the venue asked me about him and I was told the kitchen staff were "singing their heads off" as they worked. As the covid restrictions meant a small gathering for us, we are having another party later in the year and will most definitely be having this exemplary, insanely talented young man with us again and I feel very privileged for that honour. Joe, truly from the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU!!"

"Great communication from the beginning. Damien asked for certain requests before the event and has a great catalogue of songs to choose from. He arrived on time, was unfailingly polite and friendly and patiently moved all his gear once set up to allow for a minor change of plan. Would highly recommend. He helped to set the mood for our party Great music from a great guy"

"I just wanted to say thank you so much for your performance on Saturday night. We had an amazing day and you guys and your DJ just topped it off perfectly. I think you could probably see that you smashed it and the dance floor was literally bouncing all night LOL! All our guests said that they had the best evening and you were by far the best band we have all ever heard at a wedding. One of the guests has already referred you to their son who is also getting married at Nanteos Mansions later in the year. We are so pleased with the day so thank you so much and hope you enjoyed playing as well!"
