Overview
Arthur Ward is a fingerstyle guitarist located in Auburn, Maine. Building upon his classical training from Houghton College, he began experimenting with fingerstyle and percussive guitar. His new sound is modeled after Andy Mckee and Mike Dawes, utilizing the acoustic guitar for percussion, bass, chords, and melody. Arthur crafts complex and beautiful arrangements of popular songs live with just a looper pedal and an acoustic. And he can do the same for your favorite songs! Whether you want subtle background music or a beautiful meaningful song for your first dance, Arthur will provide you with professional, high quality service.

Arthur killed it — professional, kind, reliable and super easy to work with. He did a fabulous job on our procession and recession songs which were special requests, plus played a great selection of songs for the few hours we had him. Thank you Arthur!!

July 3, 2019Outstanding!
Arthur played our wedding ceremony on July 28, 2018. We gave him a list of somewhat obscure songs and he learned the ones he hadn’t known to perfection. We had so many wonderful comments from our guests as to how incredible he was. He did an amazing job.

We hired Arthur to play for our wedding ceremony and couldn’t be more impressed! He was professional, on time, and had a lovely personality that was incredibly easy to work with. He was willing and able to beautifully arrange specific song requests exactly to the style we were looking for. He also played and sang a wonderful selection of songs as our guests arrived and departed that couldn’t have been better if I had hand picked them myself. He was able to understand and deliver our tastes and do it beautifully! All our guests commented on how talented both his guitar and vocals were, and how magical he made our ceremony. I simply can not explain how pleased and impressed we were with Arthur! Our guests kept saying “we just fell in love with him!” and “his voice and sound was pure magic” and we could not agree more! Do not hesitate to hire, or at least inquire about this very talented young professional.
