Riley Wilson

Fantastic communication, fantastic performance. On time, polite, funny, and very talented!

Riley did a great just at my wife's birthday party. He was the consummate professional,.and all his songs were a hit with our friends and neighbors . He kept the music audio levels to just the right level, that allows conversation and enjoyment of his music. Riley played all our favorite bits from the 70s and 80s. Strongly recommend Riley Wilson for your next party or get together .

I booked Mr. Wilson for my father's celebration of life service. He played every song I picked, in the order I requested, for the visitation as well as during the service. I requested "blues riffs and soulful playing to honor my father's love of blues and classic rock." What I got was an outstanding performance, tailored to what my father loved, and I know my dad was giving a standing ovation up in Heaven. It could not have been a more perfect way to honor the life of a wonderful man.

Book him. You won't regret it. He is professional and his talent will astound you.

Riley is so self contained and professional that he can take a bit of direction and you can trust home to hit it out of the park! Thanks Riley!

I hired Riley to preform at a small anniversary party. He was easy to work with to arrange the set list and quick with responses. He also did a great job at the party and everyone loved him! I would recommend him to anyone and look forward to booking him again for other events!

Our experience with Riley was perfect from beginning to end. He was very responsive, punctual. Offered a great selection from classical to rock, took ad hoc requests.....

Riley was excellent made the evening he was very professional and everyone really enjoyed him. I would have wrote this long ago but couldn’t figure out how. He was very easy to deal with and we could not have asked for better. I would recommend him to anyone having an event and needing someone awesome!!

Riley Wilson performed at my mother’s memorial service and we couldn’t be more pleased. Riley is a highly accomplished musician, a wonderful singer, and a true professional to work with. He’s also a genuine and thoughtful individual. We highly recommend Riley.

Arrived 30 minutes early and everyone loved his singing and guitar playing and very nicely complemented the entire party we hosted. Thank you Riley!!!

Riley was perfect for our event. Great mix of Holiday music and some rock. Great guy as well.

Riley was very impressive and would definitely keep him in mind for our next event! He arrived with enough time to setup and start as soon as the event began. He set a great mood and his music was perfect for our rooftop holiday party!
Riley, Thanks for making it a success!

Riley provided the entertainment for our office's Grand Opening party and did an incredible job! Leading up to the event, he was quick to respond and answered all of our questions. He tailored his music, attire, etc. specifically to our event and interacted with everyone in a professional, friendly manner. We truly enjoyed working with Riley and look forward to seeing him at future events!

Riley was on time, played exactly what we wanted. He was extremely professional and very personable as well. Great guy, great musician, great time. He will definitely be at the top of our list when we are planning our next event.

Within minutes of posting the gig on GigSalad, Riley responded to let me know he was available with information on who he was, what he played and how it all worked. It was completely seamless. Riley is a true professional.

The music was great and Riley even took a special song request or two.

I highly recommend!

Riley played at our Mexican restaurant and was perfect. He did a great blend of all types of music genre. Got the crowd going! Would definitely hired again

Riley did a great job at our corporate event.

We have chosen the best musician for our event.
Great music selection and wonderful vocal.
Now we know who we want to hire again for our all future events.

Riley was the perfect entertainer for our Texas-themed VIP Book Launch Event last night. He arrived on time, wore the perfect shirt, sounded amazing and was professional in every way. We were all impressed and would definitely use him again.

Riley was a pleasure to work with, thoughtful, arrived on time, and added immeasurably to my mom’s memorial service. She loved music and we needed to find just the right person to help us remember and honor her. Both his guidance and his flexibility in making the musical selections was greatly appreciated. The family loved it and are still talking about how special it was!

Very professional artist. Played a very important variety of songs. Highly recommend. Thanks Riley.

Riley was easy to work with, he was always easy to contact, he was prompt and did a fantastic job!
It could not have gone any better or smoother and his performance of the song was exactly what I wanted.
Thank you Riley, you helped make it a memory we will always cherish!

Good and varied song selection. Riley was enjoyed by all.

Our garden center hosted a large event over an entire day with multiple vendor booths and other activities with Riley providing our music. He played for about 3 hours and performed a great selection of classic rock and country music, which was perfect for our audience. Our customers and employees all raved about how much they liked him and asked me to book him again for future events. He brought a state-of-the-art backup system that enhanced his solo guitar and made him sound like a full band with vocal harmonies. He was very professional and punctual, and very easy to work with. He's also very good as a "master of ceremonies" if you need him to make announcements and such. We were all really pleased with his performance!

Riley was professional and performed exactly as asked, we will be using him again.

Riley came to the cocktail party early, he played on time, gave my guests a great show. He was amazing I recommend him for your next event!

I was a Brand Manager/Event Director and Riley Wilson was a perfect fit for our Rehearsal Dinner! Looking for a someone can adjust to the group and setting look no more! We literally brought the lights down and he did not blink an eye! Many Thanks!!

Love his music and style! Recomendation 100%!

My mother n law turned 76 and she said it was the best birthday party she ever had!!! Every one loved Mr. Wilson and we all had a great time. Thanks very much Mr Wilson.

Wow, I was amazed how how easy it was to arrange a true surprise for my wife at her office. Riley is a great artist. If you want to do a true Texas event, hire this guy.

My experience with Riley was perfect from start to finish. His one man guitar/country singing performance was perfect for our 700+ attendee reception and all loved him. He made the event a success!

I would hire him again in a second.

Great job Riley. Keep rocking!

John (ASAM)

Riley was very professional and everyone loved his performance. Thanks for a job well done!

Riley and his lovely wife were a joy to have as an addition to our annual Crawfish Boil. We hope to be able to use Riley for the event annually moving forward and any other larger event we have between now and then!

Riley was exactly what we needed for our western night event!
Would definitely hire again.
Highly recommend!

We had a great time.

Riley was very professional and has a great voice. We would definitely consider using again.

Riley is so talented and we really enjoyed having him play at our event! He was on time and his wife even helped us put together our event tables and helped hang some last minute decor!!

Thank you Riley for entertaining our Guest in our 25th Wedding Anniversary at Christ the King Parish Center yesterday.
Our Guests's comments are: delightful party, beautiful and nice party..... with Riley.
Again thank you Riley.

Everyone enjoyed Riley. He is exceptionally talented and many people asked how I came across him. He was a perfect choice for our event and he has my highest recommendation. He was on time, stayed a little later than we had originally planned and interacted with the guests as little and as much as we wanted. We hired him for a ladies only birthday happy hour/cocktails evening.

I contracted Riley to perform for my girlfriend's birthday and she loved it! Riley was very professional and on time. He was very accommodating to all my special requests before the show date. Great communication. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

He played at a corporate event for us. He was very talented and professional and brought a great touch to our event.

Riley played a corporate event for us and he's very talented, prompt, reliable and set a great tone for our event.

Riley did a wonderful job performing for our corporate customer appreciation event! I would recommend him to anyone for any kind of event. He plays a wide variety of music and does it very well.

Riley's skills as a guitarist are to say the least, excellent. We hired him for our holiday wedding reception in downtown Ft Worth. It was a formal wedding reception with a plated dinner and dancing. He was certainly flexible! Riley played classical (and holiday classics) guitar through dinner and our guests danced the evening away to his classic rock and Texas country songs! We have fantastic memories of our wedding and Riley is certainly one of them!

I requested quotes for a solo guitarist to play acoustic, up-beat holiday music for a two-hour cocktail event at a private residence. Riley was one of the first musicians to respond and we booked him.

Prior to our event, I sent Riley a message detailing the event and reiterating what we were looking for in terms of vibe, dress and music selection.

Pros:
- Riley arrived promptly and was set up and ready to go when guests arrived
- He plays the guitar well

Cons:
- Despite specifically requesting acoustic holiday music, only a handful of holiday songs were played and none of them were acoustic. All music was accompanied with vocals and background tracks. Not at all the vibe we were looking for. When I asked Riley about this, he said he could not do what I was asking for and asked me if I had watched his reel before booking.
- Riley did not mention to me before the event that his wife would be accompanying him. They are nice people, but it was a little awkward that she was sitting next to him the whole time. Our event was fairly small and I had several guests ask me about it. It wasn't really a problem, but a heads up would've been nice.
- Riley set up a Gigsalad 5-star performer sign, as well as business cards and a tip jar without asking if that would be acceptable. Again, this was an event at a private home so it felt out of place.

I'm sure Riley is perfect for many events and parties. He just wasn't what we were looking for.

Riley came to my birthday party as a surprise from my beloved wife. I was the recipient of his talent in my birthday party. I turned 18 with 42 years of experience. Riley made the party. Took me back in time with the tunes he played. Thanks man!

Booked Riley for my husband's country themed 40th birthday party. He was great! Strong pre-show communication and was great about customizing the set list for our party - he even added a new song just for us! He has a great voice and guitar skills - so glad I booked him - he added a special touch to our party for sure. Thank you, Riley!

Riley did a great job entertaining at our party. Everyone was very impressed by his talent and wanted to know where we found him. We would not hesitate a minute about hiring him to play at any event! Definitely a five -star plus guy!

Riley Wilson recently performed at our client appreciation dinner. His musical talents are exceptional. There were many compliments on his performance and he fit our venue perfectly. Riley is upbeat and entertaining, with amazing varied musical talents to fit a diverse crowd. We could not have been more pleased with his service and look forward to working with him in the future.

Riley was very professional to work with. He was timely in his booking the gig, and prompt on the day of the event. He was very easy to listen to and played virtually non-stop.

What an engaging performer! Riley Wilson has the widest range of music I've seen and absolutely kept the crowd thoroughly entertained ! We will have him back again and again!!!!

We could not have chosen anyone better! Riley is a fantastic musician.
Riley made my daughter and I feel like we were the most important people in the world on her wedding day.
He was wonderful to work with and made our wedding reception so much fun! We had multiple compliments from our guests on how great he sounded. We had an awesome experience and would not hesitate to highly recommend him or hire him again.

Do not hesitate to hire Riley. He is an extremly skilled musican. Riley performed for a neighborhood party that had guests ranging in age from their mid-30's to their mid-70's. Everyone had a blast. Many times throughout the night the guests said 'Riley' sounds just like Neil Diamond, Johnny Cash, or many others. He will not disappoint!

Riley helped make a surprise birthday party a success. Great selection of tunes, easy to work with and overall excellent musician ...per the musicians in the crowd! Party-goers loved the music and we highly recommend Riley!

We hosted a small back yard wedding reception and Riley Wilson and his keyboard guy Brian were fantastic. They read the multi-generation crowd and played to everyone! Dance, easy listening, country, rock, and they took requests! Great musicians.. they made a great evening even better! JM

Riley performed at our daughter's rehearsal dinner. We had a mixed audience from the wedding party (early 20's) to grandparent's ( on up there! ). Riley provided exactly the right level of energy for this event. He was pleasant, cheerful, entertaining, and his music was excellent.

Everything he played was true to the original and easily recognized by the listeners. He is easy to work with, accommodating and willing to suggest ideas when requested.

Riley did a wonderful job and I would quickly recommend him to anyone planning an event.

Wow, what a great success! Riley was so professional and the crowd loved him. He played songs that appealed to everyone and took requests. He managed to get everyone dancing by the end of the night by the pool! I would definitely recommend Riley Wilson for your upcoming gatherings. Neighbors down the street thought I had a full band playing in the backyard as the sound was beautiful!

I hostessed a "decade party" for my husband's 70th birthday. He loves country western music, country western swing and 50's-60's "oldies". His favorite food is BBQ. So I located an upscale BBQ restaurant and searched online for an appropriate singer. Riley's website information, his audio segments, and the public feedback from his previous events prompted me to call him. After a brief telephone interview, I hired him for my event. I couldn't have been more pleased with my choice! His repetoire was exensive, his personality was engaging, and my guests were very impressed with his one man band! Other restaurant guests wanted to join our party - they kept gravitating towards the live music! I will most definitely hire Riley again and I would encourage anyone looking for a great singer and a great personality to consider meeting Riley.

good exprience, will call Riley again

Riley was awsome he was able to do the event at last minute notice and gave a great preformance at a great rate. His music was a hit from the resdients here and we have gotten nothing but high marks about him.

Riley is a very talented artist with a great personality. His performance was perfect for the party in our home. I am very glad he was here to help make my 50th an enjoyable and memorable event!
