Katherine L. says, "James Wengrow was the guitarist, MD, and producer for the music of my wedding last fall. From the initial consultation to the very last dance, James made sure the process for hiring our wedding band was simple, seamless and made for an incredible reception. His experience and knowledge was recognizable from our the first call — we had our reception at a gorgeous, spacious museum with over 200 guests. He made multiple recommendations about the set list, the number of musicians, sound engineers, equipment, etc. throughout the process and was transparent about expectations and costs the whole time. He did a ton of research to find what would be best for us, sourced everything and kept us filled in every step of the way which was hugely reassuring. He also took into account our preferences for music genres and made sure the set list and instruments reflected our tastes. James expertly organized the band—all highly talented musicians—who played jazz standards in guitar/bass/drums format for the cocktail hour and then a full band playing pop, rock, and R&B hits from multiple decades for the main event. The singer, Leah Rich, was incredible, and James' impressive skills on the guitar were also noted by many guests - he was absolutely shredding! The music was amazing and had everyone dancing, and we had so many compliments from our family and friends about how awesome the band sounded. James also went above and beyond during two snafus—one, by keeping us on schedule for our first dance when our event coordinator dropped the ball, and second, by adjusting the setlist on the fly when there was a medical emergency AND then by keeping the mood up—his adaptability and professionalism were huge assets when things went awry. I’m not over-exaggerating when I say our night was perfect in no small part due to James & the amazing band — he was truly the best, and we would recommend him to anyone looking to book a stellar group for their wedding/any other event!!"See more

Biography Robert Brutus, a renowned classical guitarist, was born in the vibrant and culturally rich Caribbean. His journey into the world of music began at the age of 14, influenced by the captivating sounds of two uncles who were avid guitar enthusiasts. Their passion for music ignited a spark in young Robert, leading him to pick up the guitar and explore its melodic depths. With a natural affinity for music, Robert's teenage years were filled with hours of practice and exploration, as he immersed himself in the world of classical guitar. His dedication and talent quickly set him apart, and he became known for his expressive playing style and intricate compositions. After completing high school, Robert moved to Lincoln, Nebraska, where he pursued a college education. During this time, he continued to hone his musical skills, participating in various performances and collaborating with fellow musicians. His time in college not only enriched his musical knowledge but also exposed him to diverse influences that would later shape his unique approach to classical guitar. Upon graduation, Robert embarked on a successful career in computer software engineering. Despite the demands of his professional life, he never lost sight of his true passion – music. Balancing work and family life, Robert always found time to play his guitar, often serenading his wife and four daughters with beautiful melodies. In 2020, after a fulfilling career in software engineering, Robert retired to focus entirely on his first love – teaching classical guitar. He deeply desired to share his knowledge and inspire the next generation of musicians, so he began offering lessons from his home studio in Plattsmouth Nebraska. His approach to teaching is characterized by patience, encouragement, and a commitment to nurturing each student's unique musical voice. Robert Brutus' legacy extends beyond his immediate family, as he is a proud grandfather to seven grandchildren. His passion for music and dedication to family have created a harmonious balance in his life, and he cherishes every moment spent with his loved ones. Musical Philosophy Robert believes that music is a universal language that transcends boundaries and connects people on a profound level. His teaching philosophy emphasizes the importance of expressing emotions through music and finding joy in the journey of learning. He encourages his students to explore various styles and techniques, fostering a sense of curiosity and creativity. Hobbies and Interests When not teaching or playing the guitar, Robert enjoys entertaining his grandkids, reading about music history, and spending quality time with his family. He is also passionate about contributing to the local music community, often participating in events and workshops that promote classical guitar education. Robert Brutus is a shining example of how passion, dedication, and love for music can shape a fulfilling and rewarding life. His journey from the Caribbean to Lincoln, Nebraska, is a testament to the power of music in transforming lives and inspiring others to pursue their dreams.See more
