We booked Pete for our wedding after seeing him a few live events. He is truly one of the best musicians I’ve ever met. He is not only an amazingly kind human, but truly captivating. He was able to learn a new song just for our wedding. I highly recommend booking him for any event .

The guitarist paired with his amazing vocals were an amazing surprise for my mom! She was caught off-guard and I'm grateful for Pete. Thanks so much for the energetic performance.

November 23, 2025There was about to be a riot
We had a scheduling change and due to a miscommunication, our music manager told Pete not to come in for his usually weekly slot with us. We had ant least eight separate tables very upset Pete was not there!! Several walked out. Just testament to how much value he has brought to our restaurant. He is very beloved at our establishment and it’s due to his excellent performances, witty and funny banter and interactions with our guests. He’s easy to communicate with and punctual as well! Can’t recommend him enough. Oh and also his Facebook/instagram performance memes are hilarious!!! They are an easy & fun way to share his posts for our guests to know when he’s coming in.

November 17, 2025Outstanding Musician
Pete played my wedding back on Sept 3rd and the after-party. He did an outstanding job. He did both an order of service that we provided for the ceremony then played a fantastic party afterwards. It's amazing what he can do with one man vocals and a guitar. I've had many, many compliments on the choice of Pete for our music in both ceremony and celebration. Thank you Pete!

What to expect
When you hire me, you can expect a professional, upbeat, and engaging acoustic performance tailored to your event. I read the room and adjust the energy to fit the moment — from lively sing-along favorites to a smooth, relaxed background vibe when you want the music to complement the atmosphere.
I perform well-known acoustic covers from the 70s through 2000s, and my setlist connects especially well with adult audiences who enjoy classics, nostalgia, and feel-good hits. I’m easy to work with, punctual, and focused on making your event run smoothly.
I bring all sound equipment, lighting, and everything needed for a clean, high-quality setup. Your guests will enjoy a warm, polished performance that feels natural, personal, and perfectly matched to the occasion.
For events that want a fuller or higher-energy sound, I also offer an acoustic duo option with a percussionist/vocalist for an additional fee.
About
Born in Chile, raised in the U.S., and a proud Texan for most of my life, I picked up the guitar at 15 and never stopped. I’m now a full-time acoustic guitarist/singer with 20+ years of professional experience performing across Houston and the surrounding areas.
I play an upbeat mix of acoustic covers from the 70s–2000s, and my shows connect especially well with adult audiences who enjoy classics, nostalgia, and feel-good hits. I’ve performed thousands of events — house parties, weddings, corporate functions, wine bars, and restaurants — and I’m known for being easy to work with, professional, and always matching the vibe of the room.
For events wanting a fuller sound, I also offer an acoustic duo option with a percussionist/vocalist for an additional fee.
Additional booking notes
I have a simple, fully self-contained setup. I only need access to one standard power outlet and a small area (about 5 ft x 5 ft) for equipment.
For outdoor events, the performance area must be covered or shaded to protect from direct sunlight or rain.
I require a flat, solid surface for setup (concrete, wood, tile, or similar). I’m not able to perform directly on grass, dirt, or uneven ground.
