Overview

Hey! I'm Curtis Stith. I perform at weddings and events (birthdays, parties, etc.) with a loop pedal that allows me to create anything from stripped down acoustic music, to a full band sound. I'll make your event something really special that you won't forget!

A Perfect Touch to Our Ceremony!

We were so lucky to have Curtis as our wedding guitarist. He was not only incredibly skilled but also a joy to work with from start to finish. I asked him to play a very special and sentimental song as I walked down the aisle, and he performed it beautifully. Curtis was attentive, professional, and clearly experienced with weddings and processionals. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking a talented and reliable musician for their special day.

10 stars

The consummate professional. Set up early and played 3 hours straight. Learned a song that made my girlfriend emotional and very happy...it is now our song. Great sound... Precise vocals, great range; virtuoso with the guitar, rhythm track and effects. Throughout the night my friends told me how impressed they were by Curtis' skills.

What to expect

I have a variety of different ways that I perform that I tailor to the needs of each client. I can perform with an acoustic or electric guitar, with or without the loop pedal, or I can even bring out a 2, 3, or 4 piece band. I can also perform for up to 3 hours (with a couple short breaks). I perform a variety of mostly covers and some originals. Below is a sample of some of the songs that I perform regularly.

About

Curtis Stith is an independent Folk/Pop artist from Carrboro, NC. His influences include Ben Howard, Billy Joel, Passenger, and Ed Sheeran. At the age 17, he began his career as a performing and recording artist with the release of his debut EP ‘Why Not’. As a solo act he has since performed at The NC State Fair, Oak City 7, the Local 506, Stewart Theatre, SoFar RDU, and many other venues and events.

His band, Curtis Stith and the Silver Lining, was formed in 2016, and is comprised of Cole Stith (Acoustic Guitar and bg vocals), Andre DiMuzio (Keys and bg Vocals), Peter Newell (Electric guitar and Bass), and Eli Howells (Violin and Bass). Curtis himself performs from the drum set, creating a memorable and entertaining performance that stands out among the many singer/songwriter-based groups. While creating new arrangements of songs from the 2015 EP, and writing new songs that showcase the full band sound, the new group was featured at the Carrboro Music Festival, Bourgie Nights (Wilmington, NC) The Station (Carrboro, NC), Deep South the Bar (Raleigh, NC), the Local 506 (Chapel Hill, NC), and as part of a Hopscotch Music Festival day party.

Stith has performed and toured with other bands as well, including shows at the Cat's Cradle Back Room, the Lincoln Theatre, the Pour House music hall, the NC State Fair, and many other venues.

Stith and his band are releasing their first full length album in the spring of 2017. The album showcases catchy hooks paired with story-based songwriting that quickly creates a connection with the listener. The songs, together with the live yet polished feel of the record, makes for an engaging, entertaining, and fun listen start to finish.

Additional booking notes

For solo performances, I can bring my own PA or use yours, whichever is more convenient for you. If I use yours, all I will need is a 1/4 inch input for a guitar, and a Vocal mic and stand, as well as speakers and a mixer. My PA includes two Mackie Thump speakers, and a simple 12-channel mixer, as well as two vocal mics. In that case I will just need a power supply within 20-30 feet of where I am performing.
