Introduction: Hi! I'm Mike Dunbar, a professional singer-guitarist in Nashville, TN. I've been working in the music industry for more than a decade, fronting bands and performing solo. Every week I perform at corporate events, weddings, bars and lounges, virtual events, and more. I also write and record songs professionally. My performance catalog includes over 500 songs spanning genres and decades. If we work together, I will look forward to learning about your vision for the event and selecting the right music for the occasion, whether that's instrumental guitar background music for a cocktail hour or a classic covers for a fun backyard party. Quotes for my performances include a Bose L1 Compact tower PA system. I provide everything needed for my performance—all I need from customers is a power outlet to plug into.

We were able to book Mike with just a few days notice to play a private show at a home outside Franklin TN for our parents’ 50th anniversary. Mike also brought along a terrific fiddle player for accompaniment. The musicians were on top, set up everything no problem, and we even pulled off a bit of a surprise as our parents didn’t know we booked a band. Mike played a bunch of great songs, sounded terrific and had everyone dancing. They even learned our parents’ first dance song with just a couple days notice. The music truly made the evening, thanks so much Mike!

From the jump, Mike was incredible to work with. He was responsive, professional, and punctual. His music was incredible, he quickly (within a day) learned a song at my husbands request. His quality of music is at the top! He truly entertained us for our small backyard wedding. And it was a little cold and he didn’t complain! He is worth every penny and more. Could not recommend him more!!

I would have checked all the boxes if I could. Mike was extremely flexible with our plans changing a few times. The music was great and I could not think of a single thing he could have done better. Extremely professional and TALENTED ! If we are ever in Nashville again I would love to book Mike to come play music for us again.
