Hello. I am a versatile professional guitarist. I play jazz, classical, pop, rock, blues, Bossa Nova. I also belong to several other groups if you need a larger band.
I have played many different types of events including trade shows, weddings, farmers markets, private parties and funerals.
I am able to bring a large catalogue of music in several styles and I am sensitive to the room's atmosphere and I am always very accommodating.
I look forward to performing for you at your next event! Please feel free to ask any questions.
Kurt
Kurt Szul was the best choice I could have possibly made for my party. Almost 40 friends with a common interest who had never met socially - and Kurt brought everyone together with the perfect blend of music that was not intrusive but oh, so enjoyable. A large house with high ceilings, he adjusted the volume when necessary so it was perfect at the beginning when people were arriving as well as when the house was full. And his choice of music could not have been better. After some prior conversations about the guests and their interests, he was right on. All night. And I might add, virtually EVERY guest complimented me on Kurt's performance. THE. BEST.!
I recently had the pleasure of hiring a solo guitarist for a private event on 9/29, and I must say, the experience was nothing short of exceptional. To start, his honest and hassle-free approach made the entire process seamless and stress-free. I was able to pay online before the event. which I valued and appreciated from an honesty standpoint. As for the music, from the moment the first note to the final chord, the evening was elevated to a level of sophistication and charm that exceeded all expectations.
Kurt's performance was a masterclass in high-quality music. Each note was played with precision and passion, captivating the audience and creating an enchanting atmosphere. It was evident that he was not just playing music; he was painting an emotional canvas through his tunes.
Secondly, I was particularly impressed with the punctuality and professionalism displayed by Kurt. He arrived promptly, set up efficiently, and started performing right on schedule, demonstrating a high level of reliability and commitment.
In essence, I wholeheartedly recommend Kurt for any event where you desire top-tier musical entertainment coupled with professionalism and reliability. His high-quality music, classy presentation, punctuality, and honest, hassle-free approach makes a standout choice for creating an unforgettable and enchanting atmosphere. I am truly grateful for the magical touch Kurt brought to my event, making it an evening to remember for years to come.
