Overview
Chris Cavendish will be honored to provide solo guitar for your event.
Your audience will definitely be entertained by his performance, as he transforms any modern popular song into a recognizable instrumental composition.
His classical repertoire includes music native to Italy, France, and Brazil, etc. Plus, he also performs Jazz standards, modern pop, and country tunes.
Chris' wedding production exceeds many other musicians, because he has taken time and care to memorize the standard tunes, such as Bridal Chorus, Wedding March, Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring, Canon in D, and Trumpet Tune.
He loves to learn new songs, so please be prepared with a few requests. Thanks-A-Trillion!

April 26, 2022Excellent!!
He arrived early, had his own equipment and didn't need electricity. He played perfectly!! I'm so happy! It really brought our wedding together! He played Can't Help Falling in Love as our new blended family walked up together! It was exactly what I pictured.
