Michael Isla, Guitarist
Overview
Hello! Thanks for viewing my promo kit!
PLEASE WATCH PROMO VIDEO TO MAKE SURE MY STYLE FITS YOUR EVENT 😃.
I am a one man band that would be ideal for Art Events, happy hours, Opening for Regional or National Acts, weddings receptions (no ceremonies )etc. My music is energetic and all instrumental.
All my music is original with elements of Latin, jazz, rock, with keys, percussion, drums, synth, strings, bass, and guitar. I sound like a full band with one musician.
*If I am booked contact me. I have done multiple events at different times.

October 20, 2025Professional and entertaining guitarist
Michael Isla played guitar during a networking event and was professional and entertaining. He showed up ahead of time and was set up and playing at the agreed-upon time. His music was such a nice touch for our event. I definitely plan on hiring him again in the future!

November 5, 2015AMAZING!
Michael was absolutely perfect. I contacted him for a last minute event the day before and he was so polite and accommodating. His communication was re-assuring and his actual playing was exceptional. There's no need to look for another guitarist in C-Bus, just call Michael!
Hired as: Classical Guitarist

October 26, 2015Great Experience
This was my first time booking music during a service period as I usually just handle the food side. Michael was terrific. We had Michael play at our dinner service. He arrived early and was set up before we started opening the doors for seating. His music style was great as it was very nice playing in the background but was not obtrusive to dinner conversation. Many of the guests commented how nice it was to have a guitarist at dinner. Will definitely have Michael back again.

Booking information
Price range: Contact for pricing
Languages: English, Spanish
Gig length: 60 - 120 minutes
What to expect
As a client you can expect the utmost professionalism. I work closely with my clients to give them the best, worry-free experience possible.
Additional booking notes
I primarily provide my own equipment. If a PA system is available it would be useful, but not necessary.
A three pronged outlet is required within twenty feet. I typically perform standing up.
If performing outside a covered area is required due to the danger of electrical storms and intensity of direct sunlight on the skin and instrument.
