Warren Kramer

Warren Kramer, jazz, Latin, Flamenco, classical-style & sacred guitar.
Warren Kramer makes a roomful of music with just one guitar. His fingerstyle instrumental technique allows him to play melody and accompaniment at the same time, at times sounding like two guitars and a bass. Warren learned jazz styles from Al Swan (himself a student of Earl Klugh) ​and studied the classical guitar under Andrew Schulman, Joel Yaggi, and Jerry Klickstein. His solo guitar styles include jazz standards, Brazilian/Latin jazz/sambas, and old favorites in jazz or classical styles. Warren's original pieces blend jazz, classical and folk styles, while his classical guitar style hymns, praise & worship songs are most appropriate for Christian weddings and events.

I'm a professional jazz, Latin, and classical guitarist (corporate events, weddings, parties, clubs, restaurants, memorials, gallery openings, concerts, outdoor events, and faith-based gatherings). I play instrumental solo guitar. I am a classically-trained guitarist, play Latin/Brazilian jazz, jazz standards, classical-style sacred music, classic rock solo guitar interpretations, and solo fingerstyle guitar originals.

I live in Norton Shores (south of Muskegon), frequent Grand Rapids, Holland, Grand Haven. I play all over Michigan and beyond. I've played gigs in Lansing, Kalamazoo, Ann Arbor/Detroit, Benton Harbor/St. Jo/South Bend, IN, Traverse City, etc. I also have relatives in Big Rapids, so Mt. Pleasant, BR, & Cadillac are fine. I have played as far north as Mackinac Island, and as far south as Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois.

I've also done a lot of vocalist accompaniment on acoustic, classical and electric. I could fill 4 sets with Originals/Jazz/Latin/Brazilian, and/or new age-like fingerstyle guitar, more if I added Classical and/or Sacred.

For extended gigs, Warren will sometimes bring 2 or 3 instruments, switching seamlessly from classical guitar, to electric, to steel-stringed acoustic. He owns and plays a wide variety of guitars, and chooses his instruments for each gig, depending on the client's needs.
