July 24, 2023Perfect Music and Vibe
Highly recommend Jason if you are looking for a solo classical or Spanish style guitar player. He was perfect for our 10th Anniversary Backyard Dinner Party. He is a great player, a nice guy, and really responsive and easy to coordinate with. He was prompt and easy to work with. Especially appreciate that he learned a song at the last minute to accompany a friend who wanted to sing a song. Thanks Jason!

September 26, 2021Great at communicating!
Jason was excellent at communicating, especially during a time when I was stressed and hard to reach. He was kind, accommodating, prepared, and punctual. I booked him so close to my event date, that I was afraid he wouldn't have enough time to prepare, but he felt confident that he could arrange the songs I requested. I only gave 4/5 stars because it sounded like the songs weren't well practiced. That being said, I would conclude that this might be a result of the short timeline he was given.

Thank you for the review! Yes it was challenging as I was getting cued by the organist and couldn’t see what was going on all the way at the alter and he miscued me! I apologize if there were some mistakes but I feel it wasn’t really my fault due to the organist really not doing a good job of giving me the proper cues.
