      I hired Raj to be the guitarist for my outdoor wedding venue. My venue was a bit remote and the location didn’t allow amplifiers, but Raj made it out to the site and serenaded my wedding party in the Redwood forest. He played beautifully and was able to accommodate my song requests. Thanks again Raj for trekking out to my ceremony site and helping make the environment feel peaceful and joyful with your music!

      Tom was great for our dining room guitarist- He can play a mixture of latin & classic hits and also plays modern songs that still cater to our audience- like Post Malone. Highly recommend him for acoustic guitar music.
