Ravi is a masterful performer

Our company Christmas party on Oahu could not have gone better, and we owe much of it to to the musical stylings of Ravi Lamb. His ability as a guitarist added much to the ambience, and his skills in slack key, instrumental guitar, and knowledge of jazz standards were a welcome addition to our event! We will definitely be considering Ravi for all future musical needs.

Ambient Expectations Exceeded!

As a Jazz musician myself (pianist), I can’t express in only words how impressed I was with Ravi’s talent and accommodations to fulfilling our playlist requests for our company event. You’ll need to just hear him play for yourself!

That said, at a high-level, Ravi is very consistent in playing Jazz tunes and covering all of the real book classics on demand, while also having the flexibility to play his own originals. He really fits into the evening ambience and I would recommend him for any event from black tie to casual. He’s also very reasonable and competitive with his rates.

Ravi’s Berkeley school of music chops are the real deal. As a client and fellow musician I would highly recommend his services. I’ve personally recommended him to other folks and they were also very happy with his performance and services. We will definitely work with him again in the future.

Perfect music for the occasion !!

Ravi played at a wedding of a friends in Oahu. His mastery of Slack and Jazz guitar really set an atmosphere that made the day even more special ! 10/10!! I would recommend him to anyone looking to add an musical atmosphere to their wedding/event. His playing mixed with the ocean and landscapes created a beautiful memory I’ll never forget !!
