Arturo helped to make our event a great success

Arturo's personal blend of music brought a style to our event that captivated nearly 400 guests. This was our seventh year of an annual dinner event to honor military service members from all five branches, with many of the guests having attended all prior events.
I received more comments than I can count from guests, regarding Arturo's presence. His two sets during the mixer and the dinner portions of the event truly set the mood for our event.
We are hoping Arturo will become a regular at our annual dinner event.

The Perfect Performance!

This is the second event in six months that we have had the pleasure to have Arturo Echarte provide musical entertainment. At both events the attendees raved about the beautiful music and were touched by Acoustic for a Change's mission. We are not only honored to have had him as a part of both programs, but we are fortunate to call him a friend. We look forward to working with him again in the future.

AMAZING!!!!

We had the pleasure of having Arturo play at a private event and his presence and music were nothing short of a live concert! I wish I could've sat and listened to him play the whole 4 hours but I had to work :-(. He will be our entertainer for all our future events. His mission and cause are to be admired and we look forward to referring him to many others!! Thank you Arturo for sharing your gift!!

Playing for Christie's Real Estate Open House was an honor. Making music at the 6.5 Million dollar/11 acre home was breathtaking.

Amazing Performer

Arturo not only has a passion for helping young folks discover music, he is a captivating performer. My event would not have had the same impact without including Acoustic for a Change to our entertainment line up.

**Arturo is a 5 STAR ENTERTAINER!! Arturo was a wonderful addition to the 3rd Annual Pink Martini Party funraiser. Benefiting the American Cancer Society and Space Coast Cancer Foundation. Susan Swanson
**Nonpareil!! Arturo has blessed our events with his amazing musical talent, donating his gift of music for cancer patients for the past five years. Marta Fiol
**Arturo was just fantastic with his acoustic guitar playing for my dauther Maxime wedding. He entertained the guests prior to the "marching down the aisle" with his great music! Then tears came to my eyes with the sincere and loving look on his face as he played "Here Comes the Bride" as my daughter and husband came down the aisle! I hightly recommend using Arturo for your wedding music...and for that matter...for any of your occaisions. His heart and passion can be seen and heard through his musical talent and acoustical playing. --- Jackie Menzel
**Arturo's Music & Style are Magical!! Arturo performed during our daughters wedding, the music was beautiful and made the moment more special. Rick Spruill
**Smooth and Versatile!! I met Arturo for the first time when he performed at a client website launch event. He was there at the request of the client, so I had no expectations and was just able to listen and enjoy. While dozens of people were talking, eating, drinking and enjoying themselves, Arturo set about creating a delightful ambience through his acoustic guitar music. Joyce Wilden
