Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on December 29, 2019•From Galveston, TX
Martin is an excellent musician and singer! He performed some select songs for our small wedding ceremony and was a hit! His attention to detail on getting everything just right was impressive. He even learned a new song just for US - Bob Schneider's Best Day Ever. A+++++

This weekend, I was honored to play a small part in “the creation of a new family.” It was a delight for me to share my passion for music with Mrs & Mrs Bradshaw and their family and, I wish all them many years of good health and continued peace and prosperity.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on July 24, 2018•From League City, TX
I had the supreme pleasure of having Martin play at my 60th birthday party. He actually made the party. I had the time of my life sing and dancing to all his songs. Friends chipped in and we sang together. I had a special dance with my son, my daughter and my husband. From first contact with Martin I could feel the love. He has a romantic side just like I do. Several friends asked if they could have his contact information. It was a night I will always remember. AND, we are having Martin back in 2 months to play at my hubby's 70th birthday. This guy is a real jewel. Treat yourself!
:
Denise and her family & friends were so warm and inviting of me as I sang and played guitar for her Birthday Party. She and I worked together (via GigMasters Messaging Forum) to craft “excellent” set-lists for me to perform (which went over well, resonating with her attending guests both young and old.) I always enjoy working with and meeting new clients and, Denise’s hospitality and vibe exemplified one of the greatest experiences which artists hold dear.

Martin was perfect for my parents' 50th anniversary luau party. He learned songs for the party, and was such a gracious entertainer. He included my parents in a special Hawaiian wedding song, which made it very special for all our guests. Thanks so much for setting a great mood for a memorable milestone party.

Meeting•Reviewed on November 8, 2016•From Houston, TX
I really couldn't have asked for a better experience. Martin made me feel very confident that he had things under control and I would have to be worrying that things wouldn't be exactly how I had envisioned. I plan on recommending Martin to anyone that I may come across in the future looking for a musician. I truly appreciated his professionalism and due diligence. Martin's performance was amazing and couldn't have been more perfect and I feel extremely lucky to have found him for an occasion that has a lot of meaning to me and my future wife. If I had to rate his performance on a scale of 1 to 10 he'd definitely be a twenty. Thanks Martin.

Birthday Party (Kids)•Reviewed on April 17, 2016•From Houston, TX
Martin did a fabulous job with our party. His task was not simple--play ukulele and lead a group 25+ noise 5 year olds! He was great with the kids. He taught my 5 year old how to accompany him right on the spot and led the group through several fun sing-alongs. He played musical chairs with them,and later serenaded us all. He really added a great touch to the party. He was very open to our requests and suggestions. He's very friendly with everyone and struck up conversations with several adults as well. He made everything fun and added a whole new element to our party!

Martin Shotwell performed at my birthday party this past weekend, and I really enjoyed having him at the party! He arrived early and was thoroughly prepared. All of the guests enjoyed his performance, and they even made special song requests which Martin fulfilled without any hesitation! Martin is so talented and really funny, too! I will definitely be calling him again for my next party!

Halloween Party•Reviewed on October 30, 2012•From Spring, TX
Martin was a delight to have as a performer at our party. He didn't miss a beat when hit with various song requests and was able to perform 99% of the requests. His voice was exceptional and his guitar skills were solid. Martin was funny and he did a great job of engaging the audience during his performance. I would definitely recommend Martin to anyone looking for a seasoned professional to perform at their event.

Corporate Function•Reviewed on February 26, 2013•From Houston, TX
We needed a musician who, besides playing guitar and singing, would also be willing to play a suspect in our murder mystery. Martin was very accommodating and enthusiastic about playing a role in the show. He came fully prepared and had a set list far beyond what he needed. He is talented, versatile and has a positive, "can do" attitude. I highly recommend him.

Rehearsal Dinner•Reviewed on March 5, 2013•From Houston, TX
Our son was getting married in Houston. We were having the rehearsal dinner at a quaint Italian restaurant there and I wanted beautiful music to add to our evening. Martin was very polite and caring about our celebration. He played just what we wanted and everyone enjoyed his music so much. The evening was just perfect. If I ever need a musician in Houston, I will contact him.

Martin played for my father's 73rd birthday. He was early to set up and began playing on time. Not only did he perform to the highest standard, he was so personal with my father and ALL guests. With such a diverse crowd of people and personalities, he connected well with all. His songs were play list was well thought out and he did great singing and playing. I recommend him for all type of events and will use Martin again! Thank you, Martin for making a special day even so entertaining.

Oktoberfest Party•Reviewed on September 8, 2013•From Houston, TX
Martin was great and very talented. We met at the Williams Water wall in Houston and he was there outside and in the rain. I was very surprised at how easy he made the whole process. He even sent me a video clip of him singing the song in advance so that I would get an idea of how it would sound. I would recommend him for any function or event.
