Flawless performance for very special occasion

After careful consideration, I selected Craig to perform during my proposal to my now fiancé. He was very responsive as I was selecting performers, easy to work with, was on time as promised and went over and above to make the occasion special for the two of us. He performed two songs I selected (he had YouTube video performances as reference) that sounded excellent via his audio equipment! Simply put, my experience could not have gone better. He helped make this experience a lifetime memory.

Awesome

Craig came to our church community event (BBQ/Stew Dinner). Craig is a fantastic guitar player! He is professional, kind, and down-to-earth. He arrived an hour prior to the event to set up. Usually, The Craig Vaughn Experience is a band, but our budget was limited and Craig generously worked with us to make the event special. He played the guitar and sang, he brought his wife who sang also, and his son came and played the Cajon. I can't tell you how special this was and what a difference it made! This was the most successful fundraiser we've had to date, and I can tell you (aside from God), they absolutely made the difference! Many people came in to buy take-out plates, but when they heard the music they decided to stay and eat-in. It was awesome.
I would recommend Craig (whether a solo act or band) for any event. He is flexible and very talented! Thank you soooo much! We'll definitely use y'all again.

What to Expect

Craig Vaughn is a professional, full time musician. Whether you're booking Craig as a solo artist or "The Craig Vaughn Experience" as a full band you can expect a very high level of musicianship & professionalism. Craig can play many different styles proficiently, & works with each event planner/host, to give them the exact style they're looking for at their event! He works within your budget by offering several options from a "full band" (that includes vocals, electric & acoustic guitar, bass, drums, banjo, dobro, lap steel, mandolin) to a acoustic trio, duo or solo performance! Craig always works with the client to help provide them with the exact band & sound entertainment they want at their event! He seamlessly goes from playing Bob Marley to The Eagles to Johnny Cash to Tom Petty to Ed Sheering to John Mayer to Newgrass to Van Halen without missing a lick! Below is a review from a recent event we performed at in Boone, NC.

"The Craig Vaughn Experience surpassed our expectations! We recently hosted an outdoor barn party for about 250 people and by the end just about everybody was dancing, from the young 20-somethings to the 70 and 80 year olds! Everyone commented on the great song choices and how fantastic the band sounded. They played something for everyone and many people were singing along the whole time. It was fun to watch them play together and feed off of each other's energy. They are definitely a talented group of musicians. Craig was very easy to work with, took requests, and was very considerate of our needs. He even sent us a "preview" video in the months before our event! I could see hiring just Craig for a smaller event or using the entire band for any number of occasions, not just weddings. We'd have them come play at every family gathering if we could! We would highly recommend Craig and his band to anyone looking for true talent and musicianship, especially if you want to get your group dancing!"
