Scott added so much magic to my best friends 55th birthday party at cellar 3 in testarossa winery in Los Gatos. He was so easy to work with, so responsive, so professional, great guitar player, very nice guy and beautiful voice. His song selections were perfect and I think his price is perfect too. I could not recommend him enough honestly he made the birthday party!!

Scott played at our wedding ceremony and I couldn’t talk more highly about the experience. He was super flexible, punctual and professional and I’ll definitely be reaching out to him again for future events. Thanks again Scott!

Scott performed at our event at the Silverado in Napa last week. He was great to work with in setting up the event. Super responsive. He arrived early and his music was great. The attendees loved him. I'd definitely re-hire if I hold an event in the area again.

Scott performed at my wife's birthday party. It was a hot evening in the backyard (~85F) - but Scott wasnt fazed by it. He played guitar and sang his cool tunes, and enthralled our guests for an hour and a half. Some of our friends were chatting with Scott as he played and were having a great time with the interaction.
Overall, Scott was very professional and easy to work with. I highly recommend him.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I am professional and on-time and courteous. My fee includes learning new songs (if necessary), travel (for 60 miles or less), set-up and tear-down. And my performance. :)
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
My typical process is simple. The most important thing to me is making sure that I meet your needs and surpass your expectations. I want to make sure that I perform the music that is appropriate for your event and learn the songs you specifically want to hear. I always check to make sure that my volume is set to your liking, as well.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I was classically trained in voice at UCLA. It was not my major; in retrospect, I wish it had been. No regrets, though!
