Highly recommend Maria Rose.

Maria was fantastic to work with and offered flexibility as my party details kept changing. Fortunately she was available to continue and perform at our event. She was a perfect fit. She sings beautifully and her play list was enjoyable for everyone. I had 3 at our party ask for her details. I most certainly would hire her again.

20 Stars!

We had a 60th birthday party for my wife. We had 60 people attend and they all absolutely loved Maria! Maria was beyond perfect! She kept out guests entertained. They all loved her. Everybody complimented Maria and wondered where we found her! Maria showed up two hours early before she was scheduled to play. She is very professional, Beyond sweet and kind. She has a lovely voice and is wonderful guitar player. Her music selection was very appropriate for the mood of the guests. She even let my dad and I sit in with her. The short review does not do her Talent Justice. Please do not hesitate to hire this wonderful lady, you will the very pleased!

Maria Rose Entertainment/Graduation party

Maria Rose was excellent!!!! She was early to the event, engaging, and played all of the songs we asked for as promised. Her musical ability is in credible and I would definitely recommend her services to anyone looking for an extremely talented guitarist/singer. I could give her more than 5 stars, I would.

Thank you so much, Dave! I was so happy to be a part of your daughter’s graduation party. Your family and friends are so nice. I’m glad you enjoyed the music. Thanks for your hospitality as well. I’d be more than happy to play for you all again if the need ever arises. Take care!

Five-Star Talent!

Who needs a band when you have a talent like Maria Rose? Maria was prompt, easy to work with, and sang all of our requests. She didn't mind at all that my cousin sang with her and even harmonized and matched his performance. All of our guests commented on her bubbly personality, her vocal range, selection of music, and her skills as a guitarist. I couldn't have imagined it going any better. It was a bit cold, but there were no complaints--only smiles. I couldn't imagine using anyone else if we ever need entertainment again. Thanks, Maria!

About

Elevate your event and impress your guests by hiring a Berklee College of Music trained vocalist with a soulful & beautiful voice that is accompanied by a lively acoustic guitar and engaging stage presence.

I've been performing professionally for over 20 years and my music goes well at weddings, private parties, family reunions, corporate parties, bars and restaurants.

I was named after the main character in the play "The sound of music" because my mother was in the musical while she was pregnant for me (ironically she played one of the nuns). So, I've been surrounded by the sounds of music since before birth!

I play a wide variety of music that appeals to many different age groups: Motown, pop, 60's-90's, today's top hits, and classic rock. From Aretha Franklin to The Eagles, Taylor Swift to Ed Sheeran. I like to play a variety of songs from all eras that people love to sing along with. If there is a certain genre or style you'd like me to focus on, I can zero in on that as well.

I'm very good at reading a room and setting the volume level to fit. I also watch how people react to certain genres and play more of whatever people are responding to.

I am a full time, professional musician. I play solo as a singer guitarist. I can also perform as a Duo, Trio and all the way up to a full 9 piece dance band. I offer a wide variety of setups to fit your needs:

-Solo singing guitarist

- Acoustic Duo - Male and female vocalists

- Cocktail hour music

-Tropical/Caribbean duo (Steel Drum, Guitar, Ukelele)

- Full 7-9 piece dance band with a horn section

- I provide a sound set up. Just make sure I have access to power

-If there are specific songs you'd like to hear, I take song requests before the event and add them to my song list.

I pride myself on being very professional and easy to work with. Contact me above and let's make your party or special day memorable!

Additional booking notes

Please provide me access to a power outlet somewhat nearby. I can bring an extension cord.
