Art Hildebrand has played guitar at different restaurants and coffee houses in Northern Virginia, as well as clubs such as Jammin Java in Vienna and Jaxx Nightclub in Springfield. He plays a wide-ranging mix of instrumental finger style and vocal numbers, encompassing blues, rockabilly, classical, and blues rock. He also performs with the Back Alley Blues Boys, a guitar trio that plays blues and American roots music.
My neighbors and I have very much enjoyed listening to Art Hildebrand perform. We've see him in local restaurants, coffee shops and festivals. His music spans multiple genres and he is a talented musician. We've also booked him to play at many of our community association socials. He is very dependable and a joy to work with.
