I found Robert as I was searching for a guitarist to play for my Uncle's funeral services. I reached out to him on a Wednesday, had a playlist to him on Wednesday evening, and on Friday morning, he showed up promptly and played the requested 8-9 songs, in addition in an impromptu song needed to fill in for a soloist that was not there. He played both as an accompaniment for singers, as well as by himself. His ministry through music had the family quite emotional, as my Uncle was a guitarist himself. We could not have asked for a better musician to provide the music for the services, as my family was deeply moved and touched that we could honor our family member with songs that he used to play. As this was and is a rough time for the family, Robert and Crystal handled business with us not only professionally, but also compassionately, and for that, we thank them. I highly recommend that you consider Robert for your future events, as we will also.

Thank you for your review! We always appreciate feedback that helps us to improve! We cannot wait for the next event!
Robert and his band played for an event my work was hosting. The music was perfect for the tone and vibe of the event. With very little direction, Robert was able to sense the mood of the day and helped to reinforce the energy and goal of the event. I highly recommend!

Thank you so much! We appreciate organizations that book us year after year after year!
Robert AX played an array of music for all ages! He was the perfect price, extremely personable and professional and played longer than he needed to just to give us more music as our event ran late. He played country, classic rock, jazz, funk, and some modern music that was family friendly. RobertAX is the perfect choice!

Additional Booking Notes
We are a full service solo acoustic, electric, and vocal performance company. I am fully stocked for stage shows, performances, weddings, festivals and events. I work with very little equipment to meet the needs of even the smallest budgets.
Everything can be negotiated and we let nothing come between a beautiful musical partnership.
