June 26, 2023We recently had the pleasure of hiring Cameron for our special day, and I must say, it was the best decision we made. From start to finish, he exceeded all expectations and made our wedding ceremony and reception truly unforgettable. I am thrilled to write this glowing five-star review for their exceptional talent and professionalism.
Cameron is an extraordinarily talented musician. His voice is breathtaking, and his ability to create an enchanting and unique atmosphere was nothing short of magical. The music he played added an extra layer of emotion and fun to every moment, leaving both us and our guests completely captivated throughout the entire event.
Additionally, Cameron is truly just an amazing human. He is beyond words the favorite part of our wedding (minus getting married)

December 11, 2022We were hosting our 10 year anniversary party for our private practice. Cameron’s vocals and guitar were the perfect addition to our intimate dinner party of 40. Many of the guests asked about hiring him for their own personal events in the future which is the best compliment. Highly recommend Cameron!

September 28, 2022Cameron played at our Paws to Celebrate event for Foothills Animal Rescue in April 2022. He was amazing, just the right mood! Our guests had nothing but nice things to say. I believe it was a last minute substitute as well and he really pulled through for us! Very grateful.

August 18, 2022Cameron performed the national anthem for my retirement from the U.S.Air Force after over 30 years of service. I could not have asked for a better performance to start off my retirement ceremony. He set the tone with an incredibly respectful and amazing rendition in front of a crowd of 200 people. I along with the crowd were blow away.
After the ceremony I had countless people approach me commenting on how amazing the national anthem singer was. Cameron then performed acoustic songs at the after party. He was able to keep the crowd singing along. If I was able to serve this great nation again I would pick Cameron again to preform. To say his performance was remarkable would be a huge understatement.
Cameron thank you for honoring my service and entertaining my fellow service members. Absolutely beautiful voice!

August 17, 2022I had the privilege of having Cameron play at my baby shower and there were several instances where people commented on how comforting and pleasant the music was. During the quieter moments between games and gifts we were able to sit and enjoy the acoustic vibes.
Cameron just has one of those soulful, gentle voices that sets the mood for a fun but classy party scene. If you're looking to book a private party or event I would highly recommend Cameron for live music. He is incredibly professional and one of the kindest dudes you'll ever meet. Even though he already has a great set list of smooth alternative, classic rock across the decades, and even today's hits, he is open to requests if he knows it! Book Cameron and you will be in good hands.

I thrive with clients looking to create an intimate, emotive atmosphere for their events. I'm most often associated with wedding ceremonies, cocktail hours, and relaxed atmospheres. Expect uniquely arranged covers of popular songs, mashups, unexpected transitions, and lots of raw emotion!
If you're looking for a more upbeat, energetic performance - I've got you covered there, too! I can typically offer a solid two hours of high-energy performance - but full disclosure, I am by no means your run-of-the-mill Top 40 cover guy. If you're looking for that classic "wedding reception dancefloor" vibe, I may not be the best fit.
Straightforward, honest, and un-apologetically raw, Arizona singer-songwriter Cameron DeGurski doesn't mind baring his soul behind the microphone. As a self-proclaimed "purveyor of sounds and feels," DeGurski offers listeners an intimately candid sonic glimpse into his heart and mind with each performance.
"I'd rather play something that exudes emotion, and make an audience feel something, ANYTHING, than regurgitate the tunes you can play in any jukebox, at any bar in town. If you want the jukebox, I'll give you a quarter. If you want to share some energy and leave feeling a little more human, 'I'm your Huckleberry.'"
Tasting Notes:
Subtle hints of Withers, Vedder, and David Gray. Rhythmic, folksy palate with a lush, soulful finish. Pairs well with your ear holes, existential dread, and social anxiety.

I can provide all live sound reinforcement for events with up to 200 guests. I use Bose Professional powered amplifiers, and have extensive experience as a live sound engineer. For most events, all I need is reasonable access to a grounded power outlet, and ample space to perform. Each event is different, so be sure to mention if you're looking for me to fit into a tight spot! More often than not, I'll be able to accommodate just about any request.
For outdoor events, please be prepared to provide adequate shade! I'm a native Arizonan and am acclimated to summer performances, but I do ask that planners please provide access to plenty of water and do their best not to place me & my equipment in direct sunlight.
