Sawyer Lawson Music

WHAT KIND OF MUSIC I CAN PROVIDE:
•Solo guitar/vocal- I describe my repertoire as 'classic rock and beyond'- hundreds of songs from Beatles, Paul Simon, and Tom Petty, up through Jack Johnson, Zac Brown, Chris Stapleton, and Noah Kahan.
•One-man-band live looping- layering percussion, multiple guitars, bass, and vocal harmonies live in the moment to get a fuller, livelier sound. Perfect if your event calls for some more energy and maybe some dancing.
•Instrumental guitar only (with live looping)- great when you just want some music to set the mood in the background.
•Violin, mandolin, and solo finger-style guitar- my go-to for wedding ceremonies.

WHAT KINDS OF EVENTS I PLAY:
•Parties of all kinds (birthday, graduation, anniversary, etc...)
•Corporate events
•Weddings (ceremony, cocktail, dinner/reception)
•Memorials
•House concerts

REPERTOIRE & SONG REQUESTS:
•Rather than playing from a pre-planned setlist, I generally choose songs in the moment from my repertoire to fit the vibe of the party.
•If you'd like, feel free to send me up to 10 song requests from my repertoire list (let me know and I can send it over to you), that I will definitely play. I'll need two weeks notice to guarantee I can do them.
•Song requests from outside of my repertoire list might be possible- just check with me. There may be an extra fee.
•Weddings and memorials are a little different because they have featured songs, so we can work together on selecting those.

EQUIPMENT:
•High fidelity sound system to cover events of up to 200+ people
•Battery powered speakers available for outdoor events when there's no access to AC power (the live looping rig requires AC power)
•Wireless handheld mic for toasts/speech and a low profile officiant/vows mic for wedding ceremonies
•Floor lighting for my performance area

A LITTLE BACKGROUND ABOUT ME:
I grew up in a gigging family band, playing all kinds of music including learning just about every Beatles song that features three-part harmonies. In my twenties, my focus was on my original music, which has over 120,000 streams on Spotify and has received airplay on over 60 radio stations all over the US. During that time I performed at venues like The Sinclair, Club Passim, and Rockwood Music Hall, as well as a house concert tour around the country- from Anchorage to Austin, Detroit to Boston. Nowadays I play mostly solo private events around New England, and I play in a super fun cover band called Crushville.
