Overview

Hi I'm George Schumann. I play solo guitar arrangements of popular love songs and songs from the Great American Songbook, perfect music for corporate events, birthday parties, weddings, cocktail and dinner receptions, restaurants, and other special occasions. All instrumental music, soft, quiet and elegant, perfect for guests to enjoy as background music while arriving and being seated pre-ceremony, and while dining or sipping cocktails.

Holiday Party

George was a true professional, and a wonderful addition to our company holiday party. He was very easy to communicate with and put on a wonderful performance. I have heard nothing but rave reviews from my coworkers all morning! If you're looking for beautiful guitar for your event, I highly recommend George. Thank you!

Great music - very talented Guitarist!

I hired George to play at my firm's corporate cocktail reception at the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center museum in Cincinnati. I was looking for a Jazz Guitarist to play for this special client social event and was thrilled to find George! He was very professional, talented and did a great job. His music created the right atmosphere for our event and provided a perfect touch. Thank you, George! I will be sure to contact you if I need a Guitarist for future events!

Thank you Deborah, it was such a privilege and honor to play my music at Bill's retirement/birthday party. And, thanks to you, I got to reconnect with an old and dear friend who was one of the guests at the party. It's a small world after all!

Outstanding

George was absolutely amazing! We had a very small wedding with varying ages. He played beautiful music for our wedding, cocktail hour, dinner and then for some dancing. Our guests thoroughly enjoyed the night and everyone was so impressed with the song selection he chose. So grateful we found him! Be even learned a song for my husband (Ripple by the Grateful Dead) to dance with his daughter. It was so beautiful! We HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend George! In fact, several of my guests asked for his card to book for upcoming events! Thank you, George, for making our day so incredibly memorable!

About

I started playing guitar in 1977 when I was 14, and playing guitar has been a passion of mine ever since. I have a degree in contemporary music (Five Towns College, Long Island, 1984) and I studied with great guitar players from New York to Columbus, Ohio. Now I teach guitar at a music store in Reynoldsburg!

Over the years I've played rock, blues, jazz, reggae, and I still play contemporary Christian music at church. I love playing at wedding ceremonies all over Ohio, and I keep busy performing at restaurants around Central Ohio.

Additional booking notes

I bring all my own equipment. All I need is access to an electrical outlet.
