I have booked Glen Roethel many times and am always impressed with his level of musicianship and professionalism. Glen is a frequent artist on the PosiPalooza concert tours we produce around the country, wowing audiences with his charm and amazing original songs. In addition, I have booked him for the house bands at the Unity Worldwide Ministries conference, Sound Connections Music Directors conferences, and Glen has been in the house band for the Posi Festival for the last 10 years. This year, Glen will be the band leader for the Posi Fest. In addition to his own great songs, Glen knows tons of cover songs! Glen has led the after party at the Posi Fest for the last 10 years. Glen is fun, talented, professional, easy to work with, organized, plays great guitar, and has a great voice. You will be thrilled with Glen Roethel!

Had Glen at my wedding ceremony and cocktail hour last night, July 20, 2019. Wow, wow, wow...

Thank you, GigSalad, and Glen most of all. Sincerely ..... Mr & Mrs Chillianis

Response from Glen Roethel. Best Acoustic Guitar, Vocal, Ukulele:
Thank you, Sonia! It was a joyful celebration, and I felt honored to be there. Happy anniversary!
A good friend of mine (a NY Sports fan) turned 60, but I (a Boston sports fan) was not able to attend his surprise party. I hired Glen to extend my good wishes to my friend in the form a sports related satirical song to the tune of "Please Come to Boston" that trashed my friends sports' teams. Immediately following Glen's performance, I was flooded with texts and phone calls from those at the party absolutely beaming about the gift.
I was later able to see a video of the performance on social media, and it was clear from the crowd reaction, and the look on the honoree's face, that Glen was a huge hit!
Many thanks, Glen!

Thank you, Kerri, that was a great party!
Glen played at my husband’s birthday party last night and was fantastic! Everyone - including other customers not in our party and the manager of the restaurant - was complimenting him and asking for his contact information. Glen was very easy to work with as well and played the music we asked for. Overall so happy with this experience and would highly recommend Glen to anyone!

We had a small relaxed party for my fiancés 30th birthday and glen was the icing on the cake for the event. He read the crowd perfectly and played every song we love and wanted to hear! I even asked him to learn and play a song that he has never sung before as it is one of my fiancés all time favorites.. he nailed it! Thank you so much glen!

Response from Glen Roethel. Best Acoustic Guitar, Vocal, Ukulele:
Thank you, Kristin! What a great party!! You are such a gracious hostess, and your sweet family and friends were a delight to play for :-)
My husband and I both loved Glenn’s performance at our wedding day.
Glenn is very nice and easy to work with. We communicated via GigSalad messages regularly and had a phone conversation prior to the day because Glenn wanted to make sure he got everything right. We asked Glenn to make a few announcements for us since we didn’t hire a DJ due to a small and simple wedding theme. Glenn was very cooperative.
We provided Glenn with a sample list of songs that we like and he sang all of the songs that happened to be our favorites.
We’d recommend Glenn for any event that you’d need someone to entertain and sing some beautiful songs for your special day.

Response from Glen Roethel. Best Acoustic Guitar, Vocal, Ukulele:
Thank you, Elaine! And your wedding was beautiful!!
Glen performed at my wedding ceremony and cocktail hour yesterday, and he was amazing. He performed several songs on the ukulele, with and without vocals for a beach ceremony, and he performed on both the ukulele and guitar with vocals for the cocktail hour. His performance was absolutely amazing. My wife and I were thrilled, and many of our guests inquired about Glen, complimenting him. He was truly a pleasure to work throughout the entire process, and I would strongly recommend him to anyone looking for a ukulele player, guitarist, singer, or any of the other talents that he performs. Thank you so much Glen. You helped make our special day extra special.

We found Glen through GigSalad.com. After reviewing his demo videos and bio, we felt he would be a great fit and addition to our event.
Glen was very professional, answered all pre-party questions and made the experience easy and enjoyable. He arrived on time, and took song requests.
The addition of Glen's performance to our party really brought our event together. Incredible wide range of songs and requests with a clean, crisp sound. Glen was very receptive to playing duets with party guests which really engaged the audience.
All of our guests commented on how fabulous Glen's performance was and we highly recommend him.

Response from Glen Roethel. Best Acoustic Guitar, Vocal, Ukulele:
Thank you for the beautiful review, Jess - your party was FUN!
Glen’s performance was impeccable. His vibe fit in perfectly with our event and played flawlessly over the course of the event. We received numerous complements on finding such a skilled artist from the attendees. Glen was able to make our day truly special in a very supportive way and managed to help carry the event without front staging it, a truly wonderful skill.
From the first contact through the final hand shake, Glen was honest and set expectations. He asked important questions and customized his playlist to match our event. His arrival was right on time and from the point that he set up till break down he did not leave any gaps. Truly a wonderful musician and a stellar performer, I would highly recommend him for anyone that is looking for a live musician at their event.
Thank You Glen!

Response from Glen Roethel. Best Acoustic Guitar, Vocal, Ukulele:
Thank you for your gracious review, Bryan. Great party!
Glen was very professional, and he did a fabulous job! Almost all of my guests commented about the music, and they wanted to know how I found him. My communication with him was really simple, which was valuable as I planned the party. He was totally no drama as a performer--he showed up; he wowed the audience, and he cleaned-up. Fabulous! Also, I gave him just a list of artists we liked, and his music set was perfect.
Guitarist
Glen did not live up to my expectations, he exceeded them 1000%. He was on time, he became part of the group right away. He has a great voice and plays the guitar fantastically. He played so many of my requested songs it was amazing even though I had only given him the list a week prior to the event. He let us sing with him and was just super easy going and so much fun. Thanks a lot for creating an everlasting memory, Glen!
Guitarist, Singer/Songwriter, Singing Guitarist

I would absolutely recommend Glen to anyone looking to hire a musician for their event. His playing / singing were spot on, his interaction with our guests was phenomenal, and most importantly - he was genuinely happy performing... this truly does make the difference. We truly do appreciate him making our day go from special, to spectacular.
