Overview

I am an Irish musician, living in Tampa for 7 years. I'm a professional guitarist/singer as well as a guitar and piano teacher during the day. I've worked with all the main promoters and venues in the Tampa/St Pete area and gig an average of 240 gigs a year. I can play your standard bar/beach crowd with a huge repertoire to suit most crowds. I also play weddings where I specialize in classical guitar but can also add vocals if needed.

Beautiful Music!

Cormac provided the guitar music for my daughter's wedding ceremony. His beautiful music helped make the beach wedding even more special. Thanks Cormac!

Great Addition to our Wedding Cocktail Hour!

Cormac did an excellent job for our cocktail hour! My husband and I arrived a little late but a guest immediately told us how great he was with both the guitar and vocals. I would definitely book him for a future event!

Created a great atmosphere

Cormac was easy to work with and very talented. He played every thing we requested and built a playlist of similar songs that set a great mood for our beach wedding.

What to expect

Expect a very professional, polished performance.

I communicate with the client a lot before the performance so to ensure they know what they're getting, what they want and expect.
As a gigging musician I leave nothing to chance and am always early for the gig, set up and ready to go,
and have pro equipment. I make it a point to dress well, professional and well suited for the particular gig.
As a musician/entertainer I know exactly how to read an audience, old/young whether as purely background music or to entertain and get the audience singing!
