Keith is a consummate professional. I hired Keith to entertain at my wife's surprise birthday party. I knew he was the right guy for the job during our first conversation. He said he'd get to our house early, and he did. He said he would set up all his equipment (speakers, guitars, lighting, etc...) by himself, and he did (in 102-degree heat). Given that I was trying to cram two days worth of party prep into about 4 hours, that was greatly appreciated. He's no prima donna. Just show Keith where to set up and plug in and he'll handle the rest.

I gave Keith some general concepts of what we wanted to hear (70's, 80's, 90's classic rock and dance tunes). But he also read the crowd, listened to requests, and put together a 3-hour non-stop playlist that was perfect for our crowd.

Keith plays guitar with background tracks, which initially made me skeptical. But the tracks were clean and the equipment must have been good, because the sound quality was great. It allowed Keith (the Guitar Guy) to do what he does best- play guitar. Everyone was really impressed with his skill and his vast repertoire. About half the crowd asked me, "where did you find this guy". Oh, and he also has a pretty cool light show.

After the
music stopped and the crowd drifted away, Keith broke down his kit and packed up like the pro he is. No drama, no fuss, no problem. All told, I figured he spent about thirteen hours on travel, set-up, down-time, music, and pack-out. Add in the time he spent prepping for the gig, and you know you're getting your money's worth. I'd have him back again and I heartily recommend him for your event.

Thanks Keith!

Keith was the perfect addition to my mom’s Celebration of Life. When the weather shifted and we had to pivot from an outdoor event to inside a residence he accommodated the change with ease. His playlist was perfect and everyone really enjoyed having him celebrate with us.

We hired Keith as entertainment for a friends & family barn party we recently hosted. Keith was such a pleasure to work with! He was very responsive and worked hard to come up with a play list based on songs and artists we liked from the 70's, 80's & 90's. The music was great! We highly recommend him for anyone looking for good, affordable, reliable entertainment for a special event.
