Enhance your special event or party with some tasteful guitar music! Dennis Moss is an accomplished solo seven-string guitarist serving the Pacific Northwest and beyond. Dennis plays timeless jazz and Brazilian standards. He also plays popular music-everything from the sophisticated pop of Sting and Seal to the contemporary sounds of Nora Jones and Bill Frisell. Additionally, Dennis plays traditional wedding music and other special selections on request. His ability to combine melodies, chords and bass lines truly makes Dennis a one man band. Dennis also offers duo (guitar/bass) and trio (guitar/bass/drums) performances. His music has been described as "upbeat, seductive and relaxing".
The Dennis Moss Duo was fabulous. They played music for my wedding ceremony and reception for a formal party of 25 at The Rutherglen Mansion. They arrived early, played the music perfectly for the ceremony(a somewhat ad-lib ceremony) They didn't miss a beat and created a wonderful ambience for the reception. They easily accommodated requests. People danced. The music was just the right volume for those that just wanted to chat. They were very affordable. They were dressed appropriately for the function. I would definitely invite them to play at any other event I plan in the future!
I had a group of 105 people at my event and we all really enjoyed the music very much. I received lots of feedback from my organization regarding your playing. Thanks again for taking the time to play at my event, I will definitely keep your contact information for future events. And thank you for arriving early to set up and be ready. You were very professional as well.
Dennis was a great asset to our party!
