Overview

My name is Alejandro Olson and I have been playing the guitar for over 14 years. I have performed at Carnegie Hall, the tiniest living room you can imagine, and everywhere in between. I have been playing the guitar for over half my life and I want to share my experience with you. I am confident that my varied repertoire and experience will adhere to exactly what you want - all you have to do is ask.

Highly Recommend

Our experience with Alejandro was wonderful. He was professional, friendly, and responsive leading up to the event. He arrived early, was well prepared, professional, and he played absolutely beautifully. He even prepared a specific piece for my husband and me at the end of our wedding reception, which we felt was a very thoughtful and kind gesture. We would hire him again and highly recommend him!

Angelic music for my Mom's Memorial Service

Alejandro worked with our MC just prior to the event. He performed the most lovely music as people were settling into their seats, then in between poems and recollections about my Mom that people would read. At the end he performed a much longer piece. Everyone enjoyed the music. It added so much.

What to expect

You can expect a well-rounded musician that will give your event the added musical touch you are looking for. Depending on what you want, you can expect to hear songs like Scarborough Fair and Yesterday or you can hear Bach, Giuliani, and Coste.

Whether the event is a wedding or a private concert, I will provide music to make it an experience no one ever forgets.
