I specialize in playing beautiful Flamenco/Spanish/Mediterranean/Latin/Jazz acoustic instrumental music at a level that is above and beyond most of my clients expectations (Berklee College of Music graduate).
I have been playing at many of the top resorts in the Phoenix Valley on a regular basis for many years at weddings, receptions and special corporate events.
Please check out the videos, see and listen to other musicians and hear the difference. I am new to this website, however, I have many 5 stars testimonials from the past many years.
I am friendly and easy to work with. I use top of the line sound equipment and my music is for all ages.
The songs I play are my unique renditions and arrangements and not a copy of the original artists. I cam play many hours without repeating songs. Below are some of the songs that you may hear in my sets:
Breezin - George Benson
Barcelona Nights - Otmar Libert
To The Night - Otmar Libert
Hallelujah - Leonard Cohen
Thank You - Dido
Luna De Fuego - Gipsy Kings

Does the venue requires general liability COI?

Can provide before/break music
I perform with nylon strings guitars (I have more than a few) that are amplified with mics and pickups.
I use high end PA system with two small speakers for small events (sometimes just one speaker). For bigger events I have more speakers and some bigger and louder speakers as needed.
I can provide and set up a mic for announcements/speeches when requested in advance.
Many weddings and corporate events at many of the top resorts in Phoenix, some with breath taking views! Also at some amazing luxury private residence estates. I have played for some of the biggest corporates in the world. To name a few, Toyota, Acura, Berkshire Hathaway, Home Depot and so many more.
I love to play and share my guitar music at any event that has guitar music loving audience and in general, people who love my music. It happens at every gig and I am very grateful to all the kind people that share their joy and experience listening to my music!
Here are excerpts from some of the testimonials I have received:
"Gal is no doubt the consummate music professional. He showed up and prepared right on time and was excellent at communicating through the whole event planning process. His music is so peaceful and so inspirational. He excels at music with Mediterranean and flamenco overtones. Simply amazing the way that he can transport listeners with his guitar."
"Gal has been exceptional to work with. He always comes prepared, on time, and willing to make our events stand out. We have worked with Gal on numerous occasions and he has been kind and easy to work with every time."
"Gal is a class act performer! Gal provides a level of quality in his music and delivery to his audience that no other performer we have hired has offered."
"Gal was nothing short of amazing. He absolutely blew away my expectations and kept my guest entertained and moving the whole night. He really is a treat to listen to!"
"Huge Thank you! 100 compliments!"
Paco De Lucia, The Gipsy Kings, Antonio Ray and so many more of different genres of music.
Once I am at the designated spot I am playing it takes me less then 20 minutes to set up. In most cases I will arrive about an hour early.
Most of my engagements are two or three hours and I may take a few minutes break but I usually play straight through. I sometimes get hired for an hour or less and occasionally I get really long gigs, the longest was 9 hours... (I took a few breaks).
I love to perform outside and many of the events I play are outside, however, the weather is a big factor and will be discussed on a case by case basis.
I get hired to play my unique and versatile style and repertoire. I am happy to take requests and if I know the song I will play it for you. I can learn specific songs with enough notice on a "per case" basis.
"Exceeded all of Our Expectations! Gal was incredible! He executed his performance brilliantly for our grand opening celebration, my team, board of directors, investors, and guest were very impressed! We give our highest recommendation to Gal. Extremely talented and gifted, we will book him again. Thank you Gal!"
"I Can’t thank you enough for coming to play for us, words can’t express how your music just made the night that much more special! Everyone raved about your music and if I have any other events, I will call you again and spread your name as well."
"Thank you! We hosted an intimate event and the best detail was having Gal’s live instrumental music. He had a diverse range of beautiful music that seemed to connect with every guest. He set the scene perfectly and made our event even more special. We couldn’t have found a better instrumentalist for our special day and we look forward to hearing Gal play again."
"We loved it - You played amazing! Really appreciate you!"
