Amazingly talented performer

We hired Gregory for our ceremony, and were absolutely blown away by his artistry and professionalism. We asked him to learn a song for our walk down the aisle and he did an amazing job with it. His repertoire is insanely broad and impressive. He was incredibly professional and kind thoughout, wish we would have hired him to do more than just the ceremony!

What to expect

Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile.
I play for public music festivals & recitals, corporate & private events, and have developed a specialty in performing for Wedding Ceremonies. I'm in the Charleston, SC area but have traveled to Maine, Costa Rica, Key West, Spain, Dominican Republic, California, and more - with my classical guitar. I have a variety of performance packages as a soloist or in various duets, trios, or ensembles. While my unique specialty is classical and Latin I also play in a Latin band and I have a few friends that I play some classic rock & blues with on occasion. I have battery-powered mobile amplification for outdoor ceremonies with an electric classical guitar to ensure a clear beautiful sound. While I specialize in classical and Spanish/Latin guitar, I have an extensive repertoire of pop (Marry Me, etc), jazz (Fly Me to the Moon), classic rock (Beatles), and oldies (My Girl, Stand by Me). If it’s not on my song list - I’m always happy to learn new music upon special request, and you can visit my website to browse a list of songs I've been accumulating.
Please let me know if you have any questions!
