If you've got any sort of event in which you need either live music or a DJ, book this man immediately. Dude should be dripping in cash for the value you get with his skills with acoustic guitar and DJing. He was responsive, very easy to work with, and he set up early for the wedding to make sure everything was perfect. You can definitely tell that he loves what he does. I honestly wasn't sure if my small wedding of ~50 people even needed a DJ, but he made both the ceremony and reception special in ways that I'm not sure anyone else could have. I threw a bunch of songs his way for the wedding ceremony with maybe a little over a month to spare, and he learned ALL of them. As I walked down the aisle, I couldn't help but feel just how perfect the moment was. Cocktail hour and reception were fantastic, with him switching between guitar and DJing. Everyone, including our bartender and coordinator, was really impressed. He just made the night flow in a way that felt so correct. Even as our numbers started to dwindle toward the end of the night (average adult age was 30+, so our knees can only handle so much dancing), he was still down for keeping the energy up as long as there were some of us still on the floor. He listens well and can take requests on the fly. He made our parents feel special by playing their favorite songs. I really can't say enough good things. If you're in the greater Austin area -- hell, if you're anywhere in/around Texas -- book this guy. You get so much talent/entertainment from just one person.

We hired Trevor last year for our October 2023 wedding. He was amazing to work with, really nice guy and extremely talented. Most guitarists I spoke with were not willing to play songs they had not learned before but Trevor did! He absolutely rocked Send me an Angel by the Scorpions and Earth Angel by the Penguins as well as all his pre-ceremony music. I would be happy to recommend him to anyone who is looking for a classical guitarist for their wedding anytime. Thank you Trevor, you truly made our wedding special. : )

We were absolutely thrilled with Trevor at our wedding reception. His guitar skills were truly amazing, adding a touch of elegance and warmth to the event. One special moment that stood out was when he handed maracas to my friends' one-year-old child, encouraging them to play together. It was heartwarming to see how he interacted with guests of all ages, making everyone feel included and part of the celebration. Beyond his musical talents, he ensured us that everything was in capable hands, which allowed us to relax and enjoy our special day to the fullest. Thank you, Trevor, for making our wedding day unforgettable!

From start to finish Trevor was amazing to work with. He did our ceremony music, played guitar during our cocktail hour, and then dj’d our reception. I have zero negative things to say about his work. From the setup to the event he was easy to work with , showed up on time, and made us feel at ease throughout the whole night and going with any changes we needed. I couldn’t recommend him enough!

What can I say about this performer? I was completely blown away by his talent! Trevor not only communicated from day one and even after but he made a room full of people think I was a complete genius for hiring him. Some people may be apprehensive hiring one person to entertain a audience of 50-60 but I can assure you he delivered in every way. The success of his show was not based on his ability to “woo” the audience through the gift gab but through his pure talent as an artist and musician. He played music that resonated with the audience and offered light commentary that made them feel like it was a private show. I would use him over and over again without hesitation.
