Sean and Queenie's Wedding

Overview

I love celebrations of love, and bringing people together! I myself come from a big family, and know that weddings and parties must have the perfect mood throughout. I am a guitarist & vocalist with a degree in music from the Fred Fox School of Music at the U of A. I play over 100 shows a year, have played over 1000 venues, & over 200 weddings from Hawaii to New York as a professional for over 16 years.

For the right price and the right people I will travel almost any distance to offer my services.

I perform primarily for clients in AZ, CA, NM, TX, and CO, but have also performed private events in NJ & Hawaii.

Send me a message today, and see if maybe we are the perfect fit!

What a beautiful addition to our perfect day!

We had our wedding in Maui and Jacob actually made the trip to Hawaii to make our day perfect! We love his music and vibe, a welcome addition to any event. Jacob went out of his way to perform all of the songs off of our favorites list and did an incredible job in doing so. I have to say, he is the best choice for wedding music when you want something with charm and class, a wonderful voice and thoughtful choreography combine to make something special!

What to expect

I regularly perform as a soloist for ceremony sets and dinner sets.

I will add the perfect musical ambience to your event, and will make sure to arrive early to setup, and dress in accordance with the theme of your event. I do typically wear a formal cowboy or vaquero western outfit for each performance, but can also wear a suit if the event calls for it.

I also will take song requests up to 2 weeks before the event.

About

I am an international recording and performing artist in Arizona for about 20 years. I've have released 17 studio albums, have done multiple national and regional US tours, worked with John Vanderslice, Jody Wisternoff, been featured on NPR, local and corporate radio, and continue to play 100+ shows each year locally in Tucson. My most popular local releases are ‘Desert Sounds’ (2018) and 'Saint Corazon', about Arizonan culture and the Southwest.

Additional booking notes

I provide sound for all of my performances, and will need to know up front an estimate of the audience size for the event so I bring enough equipment. I use QSC speakers with 1500 watt per speaker overheard, state of the art Sennheiser microphones, and a Martin performance series guitar or Epiphone Casino guitars. If it calls for an amp I use Blues Jr. IV or Deluxe Reverb both by Fender.

I will only need a single 3 prong outlet, and should have extension cords for almost any distance.

I do have some minimal lighting for my area that I can additionally add if the event calls for it.

Set list

I can and have played thousands of songs as a soloist, with a band, and also sing songs in Spanish, Italian, and French. I can sing and play just about anything.

Influences and inspiration

Due to my previous experience as a jingle writer for over 10 years, I play and enjoy music in just about any style and genre you can think of. I am very inspired by music that makes you feel good, gets you to dance, or tells a story.
