August 23, 2018Everyone at the party LOVED Gregg!!!!!!! He was so personable and really sang all the songs people requested! It started to rain during his performance and he didn’t make a fuss, he just moved all of his equipment under the deck!! We will definitely book him again in the future!!!

August 7, 2018What can I say, Gregg made my mother’s 60th birthday party a hit!!! Gregg was easy to reach and communicate with throughout the booking/party approaching process. He truly is an attention to detail performer which shows immediately upon his arrival with his equipment and set up, yet he flexible and accommodating as he catered to every request/need of everyone at the party. He arrived a hour and a half prior to the time he was “on the clock” for to make sure he was set up on time, and played for 4 hours without a break in the summer sun!! Besides excellent acoustic guitar and singing, Gregg hosts and runs the party for you! My family and myself are defiantly going to book Gregg for future parties.

June 12, 2018Gregg was great. Very professional arrived on time and played well into the night. He engaged the crowd and honored requests. A few guest were interested to possibly book Gregg for upcoming parties if scheduling allows.

June 1, 2017We had a 40th birthday party for my husband down the beach last weekend and we hired Gregg to play. He was very responsive, showed up on time and played for several hours as the party continued in to the evening. We loved his song choices and he had the whole group singing and even had the neighbors stopping by to join in. It was a night to remember and had such a wonderful experience. We will definitely use Gregg again for a future event!
