Dennis has had the honor of performing for distinguished clients such as Oregon Senator Rick Metsger, Seattle City Council member Jan Drago, Tacoma Mayorial Candidate Jim Merritt and Hewlett-Packard. Dennis plays jazz, Brazilian bossa nova/samba, blues, acoustic and pop (Beatles, Sting, etc.). Dennis will also play traditional wedding music or learn requests from any genre.

As a Cornish student, Dennis studied with notable jazz artists such as Chuck Deardorf, Dawn Clement, Julian Priester and Jovino Santos Neto. Dennis earned multiple talent-based scholarships and graduated Magna Cum Laude. There are several unique aspects of Dennis' playing that set him apart. A fingerstylist, Dennis has a gorgeous tone and he plays the seven-string guitar. He has a strong harmonic sense and his voicings are unique among guitarists. His ability to combine melodies, chords and bass lines makes Dennis a true one man band. His playing style is very lyrical and his sound is warm and engaging. Dennis' music works great as background ambience and also as a main attraction.

Review by Whitney P.

Wedding CeremonyReviewed on August 27, 2011From Suquamish, WA

We were so happy to have dennis play at our wedding ceremony and reception. We received several great comments from guest about the music at our wedding. He definitely created the perfect mood for our reception. Dennis was a pleasure to hire and work with. He never left me in the dark about details. He was very professional and proactive about questions regarding the wedding details.

Anniversary PartyReviewed on September 18, 2011From Kirkland, WA

Dennis did a fabulous job at our event and was so kind to bring equipment that our venue would have charged us for, and to allow us to use the equipment during his break and after his performance for remarks and presentations. He was very professional and his music is lovely! I highly recommend him!

Community EventReviewed on June 30, 2010From Portland, OR

We hired the Dennis Moss Trio for a Real Estate Broker Event held in the penthouse at the Atwater Place Condo Tower in Portland. They were nicely dressed in suits and gave us an amazing performance! We received numerous compliments on the music and how they played at the perfect level/volume for the setting! They were so easy to work with and very professional. Their flawless entertainment is what set the tone for the party and will definitely book them for future events!
