When you hire me, Marcel Rosado, for your event, here's what you can expect:
Imagine walking into a lively, inviting atmosphere where the strums of an acoustic guitar blend seamlessly with the familiar tunes of the 80s and 90s, peppered with classic Oldies hits. As your audience settles in, they'll find themselves tapping their feet and singing along to the soundtrack of their memories, brought to life by my performance. I pride myself on creating a comfortable yet energized environment, where every chord played is a step back in time, and every song sung is a trip down memory lane.
My setup is simple but professional – just me, my guitar, and my trusty Bose PA system that delivers crisp, clear sound. I don't just stand and play; I engage with the audience, taking requests and tailoring the music to the vibe of the room. Whether it's a lively party, a romantic wedding, or a casual corporate event, I adapt to ensure that the music perfectly complements the occasion. And while I might not engage in a lot of banter between songs, my focus is on delivering a seamless musical experience that keeps the energy high and the spirits lifted.
Expect a performance that's not just heard, but felt. A night where every guest leaves with a smile, humming a tune they hadn't heard in years. That's the Marcel Rosado experience – a live jukebox, a nostalgic journey, and a celebration of some of the best music ever made.
Hey there! I'm Marcel Rosado, a passionate musician with a heart rooted in the rhythms of the past. Born in Puerto Rico, I brought the vibrant spirit of my homeland with me when I moved to the US at the age of six. Music runs in my veins, a legacy passed down from my grandfather, who was a musician back in the 40s. This connection to my roots has always fueled my love for music and shaped my journey as an artist.
I started strumming my guitar professionally in 2001, and since moving to Clearwater, FL in 2004, I've been living my dream, playing music that brings back memories and creates new ones. My gigs are like stepping into a time machine. Imagine a place where the classics of the Oldies, the energy of the 80s, and the vibes of the 90s come alive through my guitar strings. I'm all about bringing those good old tunes to life, making sure each performance is a trip down memory lane.
When I play, it's more than just music; it's a celebration of eras that have shaped so many of us. My performances are laid-back yet full of life, creating an atmosphere where everyone can sing along and relive the glory of the past. I bring a slice of my heritage to every gig, blending the warmth of Puerto Rican rhythms with the timeless hits I play. So, if you're looking for a night of nostalgia, great tunes, and a touch of island soul, I'm your guy. Let's make some memories together with music that never grows old!
For my performances, the technical requirements are quite straightforward and minimal, ensuring a hassle-free setup for any event. Here’s what I typically need:
Space for Performance: A small to medium-sized area to comfortably accommodate myself and my equipment. This space should allow for free movement with my guitar and accessibility to my audience.
Power Source: Access to a standard electrical outlet is essential to power my Bose PA system and other equipment.
Sound Equipment: I bring my own high-quality Bose PA system, which is well-suited for acoustic gigs. It delivers clear and robust sound, ideal for both intimate settings and larger venues.
Instrument and Accessories: I use my acoustic guitar along with a stand for my computer, which I use for lyrics.
Optional Lighting: If the venue can provide additional lighting, that’s a great bonus, but it's not a requirement for my performance. Adequate lighting helps create the right ambiance and enhances the audience's experience.
Larger Venues Requirements: For events in bigger venues, there might be a need for additional PA and lighting equipment. In such cases, this can be arranged at an additional cost. The specifics can be discussed and tailored according to the event's size and requirements.
Overall, my technical needs are designed to be as simple and efficient as possible, focusing on delivering quality music without the need for complex setups. This ensures that I can adapt to a variety of venues and events with ease.
