Not too difficult as I am a solo guitarist. An all-acoustic contract requires a 3 x 3 space with a chair. A full sound set-up is just a few more feet of space with an electrical outlet close by as well as a chair.
The name and address, the person of contact such as the event director, the loading and unloading areas.
Yes the sound is all included but I do not provide lights of any kind.
Yes, bumper music is always included between sets.
Yes, one chair with no arms.
I have done many types of gigs from home settings to corporate functions taking place at commercial locations.
I have no "favorite" type of event. I like to work and that is good enough for me.
I have been playing for most of my life and started off in local restaurants.
I really like Al Dimeola and have no greatest song of all time as there are much too many to actually pick one song.
My set-up process takes from 15-45 minutes depending on complexity of the location and walking distance. The typical gig usually lasts for 3 hours.
I perform outside although if it is a spot directly in the sun, then a shade of some sort will be required.
For wedding ceremonies the client may customize their song selection to reflect their personal lives. For all other gigs, I have a set play list that will be used. Please refer to the song selection list provided for reference.
It sets the right mood, not too loud, not too quiet.
You can pay in cash any time before I leave the venue location.
Yes I am capable of accepting money from other countries.
