Exceptional Talent & Wonderful Experience

My wife and I were looking for a guitarist to provide classical music/classic rock/world music/Flamenco/Folk for our wedding and we were so thankful to find Michael and his colleagues Steve & Sandra. All three musicians were fantastic, played beautifully, and were all really kind and easy to work with.

Michael and team played for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception, and everything they played provided the perfect ambiance and mood for our guests. Additionally, we were impressed by their professionalism and attention to detail. They arrived early to set up and were very accommodating of our requests. Michael was also very easy to communicate with prior to our wedding and made it an easy choice. He listened to our backgrounds and really understood what we were looking for.

Michael and his colleagues are highly skilled musicians with a wide range of repertoire and fit exactly what we were looking for and we are so grateful to have found them to make our wedding perfect. Thank you Michael!

Professional and talented!

Mr. DeLalla showed up early to set up and was a delight to be around. His communication and recommendations made the process easy and stress free. Obviously the music was perfect, he made our wedding special and played what we asked for as well as filler music while we finished with photos. It really took our ceremony to the next level and I honestly think he under charges for his services.
Thanks again Michael!

Michael's an easy yes, hands down!

We had a donor soiree in a backyard. Michael was such a gracious presence who added to the party both by his energy and with, of course, his music. He brought an amp and a microphone, which helped us when we had a bit of speaking to do. He really connected with what we're about, and he absolutely honored our wishes in terms of style of music. His communication was prompt and he showed up with plenty of time before our event started. Everyone commented on how he really helped to take our event to "the next level." I would absolutely hire Michael again.

Michael played classical guitar at our daughter’s wedding and was wonderful. Even before the wedding we had been in contact and I can’t put into words how much help and input he provided us. Musical selection and personalizing his performance was truly going above and beyond. Terrific guitarist and really nice person!

Our reception was held on the Lakeside Terrace at the Broadmoor resort in Colorado. The weather was absolutely beautiful, the wind was blowing softly, and he played for our welcome reception which was the first large event we have had since Covid. Everyone was so happy to be together again cool chatting and drinking cocktails and his classy music was a wonderful background that blended perfectly with the gorgeous mountains and scenery, without distracting from what was going on around us . It was perfect!

Canadian nurse touched by Celtic birthday song in her honor!

Thank you Michael DeLalla ! IMy daughter, absolutely loved the uplifting Celtic original song that she now can play anytime and the accompanying video . Her friends and family as well loved it! She asked,”How did you do this!!? How did you manage to get him!!?” Michael DeLalla’s world class guitar playing somehow evoked the mystique of a craggy ocean view. I could almost hear the gulls! It was exactly the sound I was hoping for and he sang the lyrics in a voice that perfectly complemented the song. The birthday greeting with her name at the end was such a beautiful personalized touch . This was a lot of fun to get to put together with Michael and he was a pleasure to work with!

BEAUTIFUL Music, So talented and great to work with!

My husband and I booked Michael for our ceremony in Vail CO, and we had a rather unusual request for our processional song...."Fairytale in New York"...but make it wedding friendly. This song is very Celtic and very Christmas, but Michael was able to turn it into a beautiful song that was wedding friendly but still recognizable. It was hands down my favorite part of the ceremony. Michael also played beautifully as guests entered, and was very accommodating of our wacky requests. Working with Michael was easy, fun, and one of my favorite parts of the wedding ceremony!

Excellent guitarist, personable and, accommodating

My wife asked that we have a guitarist for her Celebration of Life. Michael was not only open to the idea but embraced it. His choices of music were appropriate and outstanding. He made himself available from the beginning to the end even though the time table was fluid. Though the loss of my wife was sad the mood was to be upbeat and a true celebration. He contributed to maintaining the celebration while being attuned to the loss. He played a nonclassical song that my wife asked for during the spreading of her ashes. He stayed with the family and close friends that remained into the evening. He even shared his guitar with a friend who wanted to play and sing a song that she had composed. My short time with him made me realize what a good person he is. I hope to see him again at some of his local performances.

Phenomenal musician, stand up guy!

We did a destination wedding in the Rocky Mountains. We flew from Chicago and Mr. DeLalla was more than accommodating, professional, incredibly talented, and just an extraordinary person to work with! He accommodated every musical selection we had, and his network of fellow musicians is impressive! Pianists, violinists, you name it, they just come and jam!
He can do classical, rock, oldies, improv and everything in between. Highly recommend for chic private parties or the most prestigious of events!!

Perfect music for our event

Michael did a wonderful job providing music for our private client event at the Westin Westminster.
1. His communication both before and after the event was prompt and clear
2. He was on-time in setting up
3. His playing was WONDERFUL, and included both jazz standards, classical, and newly composed works. His repertoire is broad enough that there is something to suit most any taste.
4. He's pleasant and professional to work with.
5. I was able to give him the AV sound contact for the venue and he worked directly with him to make sure sound setup & settings were perfect.

I highly recommend Michael for your event, public or private!

Excellent Result

I had a brunch at my home with about 50 guests of all generations and musical tastes, and I hired Michael to provide an eclectic mix of music ranging from rock to classical. Michael did an outstanding job, and my guests were highly complementary about both his range and ability, as well as his delightful personality. Two of my guests were themselves guitarists, one a classically trained guitarist, and they were very impressed with his technical skills. I couldn't have been happier with our choice.

What to Expect

For Concerts: "My concerts are a family friendly, multi-cultural fingerstyle guitar presentation. I tend to engage my audiences on a very conversational and participatory level; I characterize one of my performances as a “journey” we take together).

For Weddings and Private Events: I have countless testimonials that speak to the ease with which work with clients. My goal is always your satisfaction, both as we plan the music and my professionalism the day of the event.

For Corporate Events: My specialty is providing a diverse, multi-cultural program.

For Libraries, School and Educational Institutions: I've taught lessons, classes and workshops at every level. Teaching and sharing my musical experiences is a passion.

Music Licensing: As a producer since 1991 I can easily adapt tracks to your needs. All of my original compositions are available for licensing; I can provide you with any format you need.

About

Michael has been a performing and recording artist for over 30 years. For 20 years he was a member of the guitar faculty at Shenandoah University in Virginia before relocating in the Boulder area. His compositions and arrangements are as vital a part of his reputation as his repertoire for the classical guitar, drawing on traditions worldside. His music has been licensed for film and television, but his passion is live performance. He tours nationally, so no gig is too far off the beaten path. Michael also works with a number of other musicians, guitarists and other instrumentalists/vocalists, if you prefer a duo or trio configuration. The FAZ below will answer most questions, but feel free to contact him if you have even more specialized music needs.

FAQ about Michael DeLalla

“I see you tour nationally—do you even consider small intimate affairs, like a backyard wedding?”
MD: I most certainly do—in fact, I bring the same warm, engaging performance to your event that I do to the concert stage. We just need to coordinate our calendars.

“We're a multi-national corporation that hosts an annual party for our international contingent. What could you do for our event?”
MD: I have spent a professional lifetime exploring musical traditions found all over the world. With my compositions and arrangements for solo guitar (and voice, if you like—I also sing, in a few languages) you could expect to hear evocations of Japanese Koto to Celtic fiddle tunes to a Shona song for mbira to American jazz standards to ancient Breton songs to a homage to the middle-Eastern o'ud.

“Could you bring a group?”
MD: Depending on availability I have a large number of musical colleagues from whom I could put together a duo, trio or more.

"Do you take requests?"
I pride myself on constantly expanding my repertoire--that's often accomplished by the client requesting their special music. I'm happy to accommodate those requests.

"Michael DeLalla's finger-style guitar genius is akin to that of Tony McManus … of a class of what I call the Unholy Triumvirate of the American Acoustic Guitar: David Bromberg, John Fahey, and Leo Kottke…a guitar guru…"
The Greenman Review

Additional Booking Notes

All of my instruments are wired for interfacing with sound systems. For most events I can provide all of the necessary sound; access to electricity within 150 ft is needed. If I need to interface with a sound system, the following information may be useful:
I usually travel with two guitars.
Typically, I need 2 Direct Inputs, 1 vocal mic (if singing).
1 armless chair--standard folding chair is fine.
