We hired Jeff for a private corporate event in April 25 and the whole experience was excellent from start to finish. We will definitely hire him again, he was a hit with our customers and that was exactly what we wanted. Jeff has a great voice and impressive repertoire that got everyone up singing and dancing. HIGHLY recommend!!

Dan, thank you so much for hiring me to entertain your corporate event - I’m thrilled to hear your team loved the music! It was also a pleasure singing Ed Sheeran for you and your wife’s special dance at the end. Wishing you all the very best!

July 10, 2024Amazing musician and human being
Jeff is an enormous talent, a dynamo in the music industry from New York to San Diego. His repertoire is vast, and he draws on it effortlessly in a refreshing combination of covers and groundbreaking originals. He’s never met a piano he didn’t like, and he’s incredibly diverse, drawing on the influences of Incubus, Jack Johnson, Led Zeppelin, and many more. To make him even better, Jeff really knows how to have fun with the crowd — you’ll be remembering his tunes long after you leave. Watch this space, because he’s taking off big! One of the best musicians you’ll ever come across, hands down!

There’s so much to Love about Jeff. He’s so collaborative and inclusive. He’ll get everybody singing and laughing and lighthearted. He knows a zillion songs to cover and is a talented Singer Songwriter in his own right. I would trust him wholeheartedly to give you what you need. And I don’t say something like that easily. He will help you make memories.

March 29, 2026Luxury Guitarist & Singer I love to work with
I am a videographer and business owner who has worked with Jeff Jacobs on many events from weddings to luxury corporate events. Jeff is a great guitar player with an incredible voice who knows how to engage with the guests and elevate the atmosphere. He can do soulful and romantic songs but also bring the energy and it lifts everyone up. Always very professional to work with, shows up on time, in a suit and his setup looks clean. Great guy and look forward to doing more events together.

We wanted something unique for our annual company gala, and Jeff delivered beautifully. He listened carefully, offered great ideas, and went above and beyond. The live guitar as guests arrived was the perfect touch, setting a light, fun, and elegant tone for the evening. Thank you, Jeff—we’re thrilled we found you.

What to expect
*BOOKING JEFF*
When you book Jeff, he'll discuss what style of music you envision at your event. He's happy to build you a custom setlist based on your musical preferences and will also provide you with a list of songs.
*INSTRUMENTATION*
Jeff plays all kinds of instruments, but guitar & vocals is his bread & butter. He also plays piano and is classically trained. Typically, Jeff will only bring one instrument to a gig. But if you wish Jeff to set up an extra instrument (for example, both piano and guitar), Jeff will charge an additional $100 fee for that. If you want him to play ukulele, he'll gladly throw that in for free!
*STRESS-FREE SETUP AND ARRIVAL*
Not only is Jeff a consumate musician, but he is is an experienced sound engineer who knows his way around sound gear. He brings his own PA & mics and arrives early to set everything up, so you can expect a hassle-free experience. Performances of any length (anywhere from 2-6 hours) are no problem. After a quick break to eat/drink, it's right back to the fun!
*SONG REQUESTS*
Jeff likes to garnish his performances with popular songs people recognize, and he's happy to take requests.
