About
Elevate your event with a sonic architect 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 "vibe magnifying glass" 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?”

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 hired Dylan to perform at my 50th birthday party and all of our guests raved about his music! He helped to create the perfect vibe for a fun and festive night. Dylan is also a kind, nice human being, as he went out of his way to allow our high school senior to perform several songs with him and talked with him about music schools, including offering to schedule a call at another date to help him if needed. Booking was a seamless process and Dylan was an excellent communicator about the event details and timing-- he showed up early, was dressed to impress, performed all of the songs we asked for (and MORE!)--an overall Pro! Just wish we had another party coming up to hire him again!

It's heartwarming to know that he took the time to engage with your son about his musical aspirations. We appreciate your kind words about the booking process and his professionalism. We hope to have the opportunity to work with you again in the future!

We hired Dylan with 2 weeks noticed and we couldn't have been happier that he made it work with his schedule. We host a Camp around the country with the Dravet Foundation and we have live music and a sing along for the campers, families and caretakers. Dylan joined us in Hershey at Hershey Lodge. He was the perfect musician to end our tour this year. Dylan has an amazing voice which really captivated the crowd. We will book with Dylan again!
