Seth Jamison
Overview
Greetings! The name is Seth Jamison, and I'm a solo acoustic and singing guitarist who's been playing music for almost 17 years and have been gigging professionally for almost 10 years. I like to consider myself a jack of all traits: I'll play and sing virtually any style of music and I am incredibly flexible and open to whatever my clients need me to do. I play Wedding Ceremonies, Cocktail Hours, Dinners, and even Special Dances. I'll play for Corporate events, Private Events, Birthday Parties, Graduation Parties...I'll play for anything. I also provide all of my own gear and equipment so as long as I have enough space, power, and adequate cover (if outside) I can play anywhere!

September 9, 2025Outstanding Performance that Elevated Our Event
We recently had the pleasure of having Seth perform as a solo guitarist at our Agribusiness conference reception with over 180 attendees. His music created the perfect atmosphere—warm, welcoming, and engaging without ever overpowering the space. Guests commented on how much they enjoyed the live music and how it elevated the overall experience. Seth was professional, easy to work with, and a wonderful addition to our event. We highly recommend him for any occasion where you want to add a touch of talent and class.

Setup requirements
I require adequate cover if the event is outside (protection from direct sunlight). If it rains, I'd need full cover (tents with covered walls or tarps) to ensure none of my equipment gets wet or a contingency plan (indoor option).
