Hired Garret for a cocktail event at “Sunrise Senior of Hermosa Beach” as we wanted a Classical Guitarist. Garrett is very talented, courteous, arrived on time and provided exactly what we asked for. Can’t ask for anything more when your event turned out beautifully.

About
Garrett Podgorski, age 16, has been playing professionally since the age of 12. He was the youngest guitarist to be showcased in "The Randy Rhoads Remembered Show" in 2014. His original electric guitar EP, released in 2016, has the feel of Steve Vai, Joe Satriani and Yngwie Malmsteen. Garrett has been studying Classical Guitar with Kevin Enstrom, Adjunct Professor under Christopher Parkening at Pepperdine University. His talent in Classical Guitar earned him a spot in Christopher Parkening's latest Masters Class in Malibu, California. Garrett is a dedicated guitarist with a large repertoire of music, suitable for multiple types of venues. Having busked on the streets of Burbank for 5 years in addition to his professional gigs, Garrett is used to playing in front of many types of audiences.
Additional Booking Notes
Since I am a classical musician, If the venue is loud, it would be preferred to have a mic and PA set up. If the venue is quiet enough, my guitar should be heard.
