5 Stars - Musician for a Nonprofit Donor Event

He couldn’t have been more perfect for the occasion. From the start, he was incredibly professional—arriving early, setting up seamlessly, and his music set the ideal tone, elevating the event's atmosphere.

Played absolutely beautifully but arrived a little late

Sounded great, was very sweet and seemed like a genuine human. Was very reasonably priced. Did arrive a touch late, maybe it was because he was having trouble getting equipment loaded as the venue was very large, however (as the event planner of the evening) it really put a damper on cocktail hour as I was panicking trying to contact him. He was probably less than 10 minutes late, but he did have to come in and set up after cocktail hour had already began. I would recommend booking him a half hour before your event -- that was a bit of a learning curve on my part. Overall, he did a nice job.

Awesome performer

Zach did an amazing job at our Halloween event. He is very personable and prolific in his knowledge of music and ability to play. I look forward to having him return to our library again.

What to expect

You can expect a thorough and excellent performance or light accompaniment whether it be for a wedding, corporate event, or individual/business party.
Whether it's classical music, jazz, pop, oldies, I am sure to provide a fun time filled with enthusiasm and of course, awesome music.
My ambition is to add to the atmosphere of whatever event we are playing, not overwhelm it. I want to leave a mark on your night and my goal is to have your guests leave saying, "that was the best _____________ I have ever been to!"
