Why Hire a Solo Guitarist?
Planning a successful event is a tough job. There are plenty of ways to make your event memorable, but few attractions will stick in your guests’ minds like the personal touch provided by a live musician. A solo guitarist can provide music customized to your specific needs, takes up very little space, and costs a fraction of other traditional event expenses like catering.
Even in an age of DJs and recorded music at your fingertips, the right performer with the right songs can change everything!
Private Parties
Depending on your event, you may prefer simple, atmospheric background music or an entertainer who will engage with guests and play all of their favorite songs. As an experienced performer, Chris AB has the skills to provide both!
An example from a recent event: Picture your guests entering the event space, greeted by mellow classical guitar tones guiding the mood through cocktail hour and dinner. As dinner ends, guests disperse throughout the space and the music makes a subtle transition into more lively classic rock, with or without vocals. Ears perk up recognizing tunes from The Beatles, Tom Petty, and Fleetwood Mac. Soon guests are engaged, singing along, dancing and enjoying a special and memorable evening!
Corporate Events
Chris AB’s versatility also translates well to corporate event environments. Does your office party have a cowboy theme? Time to bring out the Johnny Cash and Steve Earle! Classy black tie event? Delicate classical guitar and jazz classics are in order!
Chris AB speaks the language of the corporate environment and provides the professionalism, responsiveness and precision necessary for effective corporate event planning.
“Thank you for playing our corporate event on short notice, your classical music was perfect for the winery venue!”
