Clint Buffington
Overview
Good, fun, music--plain and simple! I play acoustic rock, country, folk, and pop for parties, cocktail hours, and events of all kinds, and I keep it simple by stripping it down to acoustic guitar, harmonica, and clear vocals. I love playing everything from family-friendly events to bars, and from backyard parties to private / corporate events. I am happy to take center stage or simply be background music. My goal is to provide the perfect soundtrack for your event, and I am happy to learn requests when possible.

August 14, 2023Clint made our event perfect!
Our event was an informal, relaxed wedding reception party. Clint was perfect! He has so much experience with this type of event that he gave us great ideas for the format of the event itself ahead of time by asking all the right questions. He created the perfect playlist of country and rock songs. The bride and groom were extremely pleased with Clint's performance (they were so happy with this event that they could not stop smiling!) and the crowd absolutely loved him! He read the crowd perfectly and interacted with them. He brought a second microphone for the toast. Clint is just an all-around great guy with a lovely voice and great guitar skills. We plan to hire him again in the future! Thank you Clint for helping us create a wonderful day and a terrific, memorable experience for all.

July 30, 2023Clint Made Our Event Special!
Clint arrived early and was ready to go when the guests began to arrive. He is a master at reading the crowd, (material, volume, etc.). He had planned to stick with mainly country since the venue was High West Distillery and had a true country feel. As he begin to perform various songs, he noticed that the crowd was singing along more to the classic pop songs. Clint begin to customize his set to the audience, and the experience was absolutely perfect. Clint did not take any breaks, although I encouraged him to. If you are looking for a perfect fit for your event, give Clint a shot. He will not let you down!

January 31, 2025So glad we hired Clint!
From start to finish, Clint was the epitome of a professional. From his communication to his thoughtfulness of a suggested musical theme/playlist to fit our event, Clint went above and beyond. And then there was event day where Clint really shined - showing his willingness and ability to be flexible when a last-minute pivot was needed to move our outdoor event to indoors due to weather. There is no need to look further than Clint for acoustic needs in the Park City area and we can only hope to work with him again in the future.

Clint is an incredibly thoughtful performer, who puts a lot of love and care into his performance. We were really happy with the end product and thought he added a lot of fun energy to our fundraising gala. I highly recommend!

What to expect
Musically, my goal is to provide what you need, when you need it. To start with, I show up early, set up, and sound check with plenty of time to catch and fix any issues that may arise with gear; I approach every show with a professional attitude, and I dress and behave accordingly. I always make sure to communicate clearly and often with my clients to make sure the event is running smoothly, and I pride myself on being flexible and responsive to my hosts' needs.
Ultimately, my goal is to set the perfect vibe and provide the perfect soundtrack for your event!
About
I grew up in the hills of southern Illinois, passing the guitar around the campfire with friends. I've played music all over the country, and I am now based in Utah. I love playing and singing acoustic music and try to share that joy at every show!
Additional booking notes
My needs are minimal--mainly, I need access to power and shelter from the elements (shade in summer, heat in winter, and protection from rain, snow, etc., like a tent or gazebo).
If you want me to provide additional musicians, we'll simply need more space.
