A Young Man's Song by Loren Radis

Overview

I've been performing on the central coast of California for several years now and I've found my blend of eclectic folk/rock to be a perfect fit for wineries and restaurants in the area - I've played Castoro Cellars, Peachy Canyon, Vina Robles and Edna Valley to name a few. I'm also available for private parties, weddings, Tuesdays, and any other day you might like to liven things up with a little music.

Talented guitarist with beautiful singing voice

Loren was a delight to work with. He communicated at all stages of the event and was on site to walk through rehearsal. Day of event went flawlessly with fantastic acoustic guitar and a beautiful singing voice. Loren had a diverse and extensive play list for us to choose from. I highly recommend this artist.

About

"Loren Radis has been quietly making great music on the Central Coast for six years... in 2009 his song “If You’ll Be Mine” was one of the winners at the inaugural New Times Music Awards. He was a winner the next year with “Homesick,” and the next, with “(May I) Walk You Home?” This year his winning track, “Young Man’s Song,” again made the finals. You’re starting to get the idea, right? He’s a gifted and engaging songwriter." - Glen Starkey of the SLO New Times

Loren Radis is a Central Coast native who has loved writing and performing music since he first heard the Beatles at age 10. His blend of acoustic/rock music has been compared to artists like Simon & Garfunkel, Iron & Wine, and Damien Rice. His songs are about what's important to him; life, love, growing up, and the belief that an honest man can go far. You can find out more online at (link hidden) and he thanks you for listening.

Additional booking notes

I can play anywhere, really. If it's a large space or outdoors I'd like to have my sound system, which means I'd need an electrical outlet within 50 feet of the performance area, but other than that - I'm flexible.
