William was wonderful!!! He made our entire wedding shower so much better by having him be part of it. He played all the songs we wanted and even hung out a little bit with us and was so enjoyable. We loved having him and so many people have requested to use them at their next event. We absolutely will be booking again!

William was AMAZING! I'll be looking for venues where he is playing just to get to hear him again in the future! Wonderful musician and all the things you want when you are nervous and hosting a party - on time, responsive and easy to work with. Consider yourself lucky if he's available to play for you:)

It was a real pleasure to work with William. He was very responsive and professional from the beginning. His music is excellent, our guests can’t stop taking about how good they played. We had William and his band, which was great! William was attentive and engaged the audience at all times. He played songs that people were asking for. He also involved the children, who were asking for songs, and he allowed them to come and sing as he played for them. He made our celebration very special, and we are very grateful for that.

Billy was beyond what we were hoping for! He played for 3 hours at a small family party, and really added a very special element to the event. All ages (2 to 86) enjoyed his music. We can't recommend him highly enough!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My rate is $300/hr with a minimum of 2 hours. I also have separate rates for my 4 piece band (2 guitars, vocals, bass and drums) which we can discuss upon booking.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to make the coordination as short and sweet as possible. Contact me with specifics, I agree and we confirm everything in a handful of messages. I prefer most of the contact to be in writing via text and will provide a contract upon being hired.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Beyond performing, I also have been a guitar instructor at Sayla Music Academy (Lodi, CA) for the past 4 years.
