The one man band! That can play and sing all the classic songs that could melt hearts, or fill the dance floor! He plays a wide range of mellow acoustic songs. He knows tons of classic rock from artist such as the Beatles, Eagles, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty to more contemporary stuff like Green Day, Goo Goo Dolls, top 40 classics, blues, reggae jams and mellow beats he plays guitar to. Don't you hate when you go to a bar and the music is way too loud because of the drummer. Well Darin brings an I pod that plays high quality background tracks with clean adjustable drums and just about any sound you can imagine. A mellow ambiance yet you can still hear!

I would setup my equipment in designated area which is depending on the size of the room usually 2 house speakers a mixer one mic or two if I have guests sit ins. I usually bring 2 guitars a 12 string and a regular acoustic for different songs. I am unique because I produce my own background tracks with professionally recorded drum samples and every instrument and synth sound you can think of. So if your tired of getting a head ache from that band playing a small venue and it being way too loud to even say one word to another person then Darin is your Answer. He is also good at guitar soloing so you can expect some cool solo's when he brings out his electric guitar and effects pedal board to create a landscape of sounds. Using today's technology he has figured out a way to create a big full sound thus deeming him the tittle of the One Man Band. So Hire Darin Hastings the One Man Band. His dad is Richard Hastings one of the best solo guitar players in southern California so he knows how to be professional and how to please the client his dad taught him the ways of how to make your customer happy.

It is a album dedicated to his late Grandpa who told him to follow his heart. So He decided to do just that and finally fulfill his hearts desire to play music for people to spread light love and good vibes. : )
If the venue or event has no sound system I can provide one usually for a little extra of a charge. I have a pa, Mic's. speakers and stands with a nice guitar collection. I have different guitars for different songs. I also have a video camera if people want footage after the performance. I was a a/v guy for a few years so I know how the whole wedding event planning world goes. I always come prepared with chords, cables and extension chords. I don't have much lighting equipment tho. I also DJ so I have my own set of mp3 tables and a laptop and all the gear to host a party of at least 300. When I do my acoustic solo set I have a Ipod or drum machine in a laptop playing background instrumentals thru the mixer. So along with my guitar you will hear drum beats and all kinds of different instruments. Matching the cover songs.
