August 6, 2022So happy we chose Tom The Guitar Guy!
I’m so happy we went with him! We had an large community event in 90 DEGREE WEATHER and he kept a smile on his face! He chose the perfect songs to play for a nice summer day. He was super friendly, professional and punctual. We will definitely be reaching out to him again for future events. Thanks so much Tom!

June 27, 2022Great!
Tom was a wonderful addition to our party. At our request, he stayed and played a little longer, even on a work night, and toughed it out in the 100 degree weather we had! Highly recommend him for any event!

Thank you so much for your kind words! I had a great time as well and I'm looking forward to another opportunity to provide entertainment at another one of your events!

May 8, 2016Smooth tunes and simply seamless; recommended!
I couldn’t have asked for more! Aside from a soothing voice, strumming talent and knowledge of a vast array of songs, Tom was completely self-sufficient, from equipment and sound, to set-up and take-down; an imperative asset when you’re trying to host an event! I also want to mention Tom’s punctuality and that he played longer than our agreed schedule to suit the timing of our party’s events. Tom you made our milestone event simply better and more memorable. Thank you.

What to expect
I play a wide variety of music including Country (old and new), Classic Rock, Oldies and Blues. I also do instrumentals as well.
You can expect me to look professional, arrive on time, and provide you and your guests with some great music, whether it's a low-key intimate engagement party, a fun filled wedding reception or a full on party!
When possible (97% of the time) I arrive early enough so I can setup/sound check before your guests arrive - who wants equipment being hauled in or sound checks going on while your guests are trying to enjoy themselves?
I take requests, and if given enough notice can fulfill special requests for songs that I may not know already - all you have to do is ask!
Thank you for the opportunity - I'll do a great job for you!
Respectfully,
Tom the Guitar Guy
