Overview

Solo guitar atmosphere - Conversation-friendly but memorable.

Yewchi is a Vancouver-based solo guitarist creating music that is refined and responsive to the room. His performances blend acoustic guitar, electric guitar, slide, tasteful improvisation.

The music works well for corporate events, private parties, receptions, restaurants, weddings, markets, and community events — present enough to give the room character, but balanced enough to support conversation.

Yewchi can tailor the set to the energy of the event, from relaxed acoustic background music to more expressive groove-based guitar moments.

Great!

We had a fundraising event at Gardenworks Mandeville. We raised money for the BC Cancer Foundation and Yewchi played for the evening.
He was very kind, welcoming and played beautifully. He always had a crowd around him listening.
Thank you very much for helping us raise money and keep the clients entertained.
