Sam Trebing
Overview
Hey there!
I play for all types of events - weddings, birthday parties, corporate events, anniversaries, holiday parties... you name it!
I have 15 years of experience as a musician and have done a variety of projects such as playing local solo-acoustic shows, fronting/songwriting for an indie rock band, playing in worship band at church, playing in a party/cover band, and have also written and produced multiple CD's of children's music.
I really enjoy adding that special touch to each event that I'm a part of and would love to work with you!
Let's make it happen!

December 5, 2025So glad we found Sam for our special day!
Hard to put into words how grateful my wife and I are that we were able to find Sam and his fellow musicians to play at our outdoor wedding. From beginning to end, working with Sam was an absolute pleasure. He is professional, accommodating, and extremely talented. We heard from several of our guests about how much they enjoyed the music. Sam already has a massive catalog of songs that he was able to pull from, but even went out of his way to learn a song that was special to our family. Thanks Sam, and crew, for sharing your talents with us on our wedding day! We've already been thinking about future events / parties and no doubt will be reaching back out down the road.

June 26, 2024Superb!
Sam exceeded expectations from our opening communication to the last song he played. He is just awesome. When everything had to change last minute for our ceremony because of weather, Sam was super chill and helped us hold it all together with his beautiful music. He nailed our special requests. Additionally, he filled time he was not expected to play with beautiful instrumental music that kept a nice atmosphere during some unexpected chaos as a result of weather. His ability read situations and rooms and go with the flow is so good. He was a highlight of our wedding. People have already been raving to us about how awesome Sam is. On top of all of it, Sam is very professional and just a nice guy. Spending money on his service is one of the best purchases I have ever made. HIRE SAM NOW!

Sam came and played for my senior residents. He was a huge hit, and they tell me when they don't like something. His music was fantastic, but even better for an event like ours, he was incredibly personable. They liked how he added in some small stories and tid bits about his family. He was on time, easy to work with and just an absolute pleasure to be part of our event! I have already booked him twice more. You will not regret booking Sam.

July 13, 2026Excellent addition to our cocktail hour
Sam was a wonderful addition to our wedding cocktail hour! He understood the vibe we were going for, and in the middle of wedding planning, it is so nice to be able to trust someone with details and your vision. He is extremely talented and kind, and left us with words of encouragement around marriage. Book him!

What to expect
Acoustic covers spanning multiple eras and genres, but staying close to home with classic rock and pop hits, with country and folk music mixed in. My focus is to add a lively, yet comfortable atmosphere, adding in a backdrop of acoustic music for people to still socialize, listen, and have fun. I bring all of my own sound equipment, mics, etc., and have a quick set up and tear down for each event. I am also willing to travel, so please don't hesitate to reach out if there is an event in another city or state!
About
I am a husband and father of 3 and have been playing guitar (along with some other instruments) for about 15 years. I am a singer songwriter and guitarist and have been in multiple bands in the Raleigh area. My hope is to one day get a chance to be on the road, sharing my music with the world. As I continue to build a catalog and repertoire as a performer, I'm glad I get the chance to also do acoustic gigs, and play for parties, weddings, etc!
