What to expect
Experience the energy of live classic rock—without the logistics of a full sized band. Side Light delivers a dynamic, one-man guitar performance featuring instrumental arrangements of songs mostly from the 1970s and 1980s.
You’ll hear a rich blend of classic rock, alt rock, progressive rock, funk, blues, new wave with hints of raggae and jazz—all reimagined as compelling instrumental tracks. While some songs stay close to the original, others are creatively reworked and arranged giving familiar tunes a fresh, live feel.
Professionally produced backing tracks are used to create a full-band sound—powerful enough to energize a venue, yet flexible enough to fit intimate settings. Side Light can adjust the volume to match your event’s needs, providing live instrumental music without overpowering conversation.
Ideal for events, eateries, reunions, parties, cocktail hours, corporate, lounges and casual gatherings.
What you get:
✔️ High-quality live guitar over professional backing tracks
✔️ A wide-ranging setlist of instrumental classic rock
✔️ Flexible volume—perfect for background or featured entertainment
✔️ Space saving setup with full sound

A power outlet is needed. 1 standard 110 VAC electrical outlet dedicated for this use is preferred. 2 dedicated outlets on separate breakers may be needed if a larger PA and or significant lighting is needed.
At least a 6ft x 9ft space is desired. I can work out of a corner too but still need at least 45-50 square feet of floor space to make it work. That could be a little less if I can make use of a house sound system.
Overhead cover may be needed if performing outdoors.
Access to a restroom.
Secure parking and access if available
