Overview
"Your music was perfect, fit the crowd, and sounded great!!!" - Shannon, R Cubed Lifestile, Sacramento
"Music for All Occasions" is a theme Peter Wilson has embraced. From concerts to nightclubs to living rooms - solo, duo, trio or dance band - Wilson has stayed busy entertaining those within earshot for decades.
"Peter was absolutely fantastic! Not only was he extremely communicative, he learned a special song for our wedding. He was on time, adapted to our venue and was a great addition to our wedding. Thank you for making our day special!! Would highly recommend!!!" - Kaity
I charge a minimum of $500 for solo performance. This includes a professional sound system and a great show.

Response from Peter Wilson:
THANKS Gayle!
This was my first time hosting a house concert and Peter immediately put me at ease. His solo guitar set included a variety of familiar tunes, original songs, and instrumentals. His musical choices were perfectly suited to the audience, who are now asking when I will host another concert! Thank you, Peter!
