Richard Berger

I have booked hundreds of musicians over the years for events and no one knows and plays the guitar as well as Ricky. He is hands down the best guitarist I have ever heard and plays with so much passion it’s contagious. He is simply mesmerizing! I would recommend him for any event, as he plays a wide variety of music.

Richard Berger is an extraordinary musician and performer. He has performed at my nonprofit’s Thanksgiving event for seniors for the past two years and our audience loves his playing, as a solo jazz guitarist and when he performs duets from the Sinatra catalog with his friend, the iconic Jude Barry.

I had the pleasure of having Ricky perform at my birthday party and couldn’t have been more impressed. His talent as a jazz guitarist shone through in both his solo pieces and when accompanied by other musicians. He provided the perfect backdrop of music for the event, keeping the volume at just the right level so guests could easily converse while still enjoying his performance.

At times, guests paused their conversations to watch and listen to him play, captivated by his entertaining and skilled performance. He had an excellent sense of timing, intuitively selecting faster or slower songs based on the room's mood. He knows the standards and brings his flair to other music genres.

On top of that, he was punctual, dressed appropriately for the occasion, and truly professional throughout the event. I highly recommend Ricky for anyone looking to elevate their event with exceptional live music.
