    • Punctual, Professional, and Skilled Musician!

      I hired Joseph for my proposal and he showed up early and was ready to rock! He looked professional and can play almost any request. He even stayed longer than the time I hired him for and continued to play. Note- This is out of Joseph's control and just a general note to others, if you are proposing on the beach the ambient noise from the beach could drown out the sound of the acoustic guitar in the event you are trying to record the audio for the proposal. Highly recommend Joseph!
