As a solo guitarist, I provide a warm, upscale guitar sound that pairs well with casual to formal events and more. Elements of classical and jazz textures make for a great background, giving the room an ideal ambience. Song selections are true to the sophisticated jazz and classical styles.
Mark was easy to work with and our client and guests were very happy! Thanks Mark!

Upon being hired, I ensure that my attire is appropriate for the environment where I'll be playing so that I visually fit into the occasion. My favorite look is a suit jacket and tie with dress slacks and dress shoes. I also smile and appropriately greet those around me. I carry a good, likeable attitude. Also, I arrive early to the location, allowing ample time for set up as well as time to meet and communicate with those I may be coordinating with. I take special care to set up in the right part of the room per the desire of those directing me at the event. I pay attention to the room and to the timing of the event. This ensures that I'm playing the music at the times I'm supposed to, and I'm keeping to the right ambience/sound for the room. My set up consists of my acoustic jazz guitar, a small amplifier with audio and power cables, my guitar stand, and music stand. I play my instrument skillfully, bringing an upscale sound to the environment.
Mark Hampton II is a native of Columbus, Ohio. Born into a family with a rich musical history, Mark discovered his connection to music at the age of 5 while sitting at his grandmother's piano. At age 15, Mark became fascinated with the guitar, and began to pursue it passionately. Soon he was playing for local bands and was admired for having a "seasoned" sound for such a young player.
It wasn't until age 30 that Mark began to focus more on traditional jazz, classical, and solo technique. Mark has been seen playing solo guitar at upscale venues that include The Royce restaurant and Blu Note Jazz Cafe. Mark has also enjoyed corporate, wedding/reception experiences, providing his polished presentation and quality music. Mark has released two full albums of music. One is called "Tale of the Carols" and features solo guitar arrangements of Christmas classics. The other is called "Every Day Sweeter" with original smooth jazz compositions from his early years. Mark is a proud father and family man. Through his art, Mark shows that music has the ability to connect us all.
I arrive with the following: My instrument, small amplifier, audio cables, power cables, music stand, and guitar stand. I only require a reliable wall outlet to get power to my amplifier.
