About
Elevate your event with a musician who understands that true luxury entertainment complements your vision rather than competing with it. As a Berklee-trained professional mentored by legends like John Mayer and Paul Simon, Dylan Galvin provides a seamless, all-in-one solution that typically requires three separate vendors—roaming acoustic instrumentals for "Old World" elegance, engaging vocals for networking, and a high-energy DJ-style flow to close the night. Trusted by Fortune 500 companies and iconic venues like the Waldorf Astoria, Dylan utilizes a careful approach to intuitively read your room and amplify the energy without ever overpowering the conversation. By eliminating the friction of multiple contracts and providing a flawless, stress-free execution, he ensures that your only responsibility is to enjoy the moment and your guests’ inevitable question: “Where in the world did you find him?”

I met Dylan during a gala in a Reston. He played great music and kept everyone engaged and upbeat. I got an opportunity to speak with him and he knows how to balance the energy of the crowd so that it does not overwhelm the crowd. He has been playing since 2009 which really shows!

Dylan was absolutely amazing at our school gala and auction. He played stationary to start and then walked around the crowd and got everyone energized. He played instrumental and sang as well - he can do it all! Set a great tone for the evening!

Dylan Galvin was a fantastic addition to our Fourth of July company party! His guitar playing set the perfect tone for the event—festive, fun, and engaging. Guests really enjoyed his performance, especially when he walked around and interacted with the crowd. Dylan brought great energy and was incredibly professional. We highly recommend him for any event looking for live music with personality and talent!

We were so lucky to hire Dylan to perform at our intimate gathering celebrating our 10 year anniversary! He was a joy to work with from the moment we spoke. He was prompt with responses and created the most amazing ambiance for our celebration. From soft background music, to "get on the dancefloor", he nailed it all and knew exactly when to shift the mood. We couldn't have asked for more - thank you Dylan!

Dylan was such a pleasure to work with. He was personable and responsive. I hired him for a corporate event cocktail hour and he showed up with a welcome gift for me which was so thoughtful. Everyone enjoyed his music and voice the most. It was a joy to watch someone who loves what they do! I would recommend him to anyone & definitely hire again.
