With a blend of ambiance and acoustics, I strive to provide an all-around entertaining experience which can range from belting out classic rock to strumming mellow instrumental medlies.

June 13, 2020Kyle played for us last at an outdoor anniversary dinner for two. He provided the perfect ambiance and entertainment. Even more, Kyle is a sweet guy. We could not recommend him more highly and look forward to having him to play for us again soon.

April 30, 2019Kyle was easy to work with and very accommodating. He asked for my input with the set list to make sure favorite songs were included. All of our guests loved listening to Kyle while they sat around the campfire. We'd definitely hire him again!

March 5, 2019I had heard about Kyle singing at a local dining establishment in Destin, Fl and I was told he was good and I should go hear him. I Did!! I hired him for a private party of 100+ people and he did not disappoint! His style is so warm, entertaining, friendly, engaging, heartfelt and just plain great!!! He can sing anything and any style - from several different genres! And - he is not bad to look at either!!! Girls will be swooning. :)

Kyle Reed provides a fantastic ambiance for small parties and events with a stripped down set-up which will allow for casual conversation. Perfect for backyard BBQs, wine tastings, and fine dining to name a few. In a world of complication and overconsumption, his approach to music is simple. Just pick up and play. So he invites you to grab a drink, relax and enjoy.
Kyle Reed is a Richmond, Virginia-based musician, songwriter, and self-described "old soul" whose performances blend classic rock, country, folk, soul, and modern acoustic favorites into an engaging, nostalgic experience.
Originally from Florida, Kyle spent several seasons performing throughout the Fort Walton Beach and Destin area, appearing at popular venues including McGuire's Irish Pub, Brotula's Seafood House & Steamer, AJ's Seafood & Oyster Bar, The Other End, and The Green Door. Drawing inspiration from artists such as Paul Simon, Bob Dylan, John Prine, Tom Petty, The Beatles, and The Head and the Heart, Kyle delivers a repertoire that balances timeless crowd favorites with thoughtful songwriter selections.
Now based in Richmond, Kyle performs throughout Central Virginia, bringing a warm, laid-back style that feels equally at home in listening rooms, breweries, restaurants, private events, and community gatherings.
My set-up consists of a Martin Audio XP12 12" Speaker and Pyle tri-pod stand, Shure SM58 mic, and Martin 000X1 acoustic-electric guitar. If the venue prefers I plug into the house speakers, I have an assortment of cables and D.I. pedal.

Kyle Reed blends influences from across the American songwriting tradition, drawing inspiration from artists such as Paul Simon, Bob Dylan, and Sam Beam, while channeling the timeless spirit of The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. His sound is further shaped by the soul of Sam Cooke and Ben E. King, the storytelling of John Prine, and the modern folk-rock sensibilities of The Head and the Heart and Dawes.
Will need access to a power supply.
