Review by Denise G.

CelebrationReviewed on July 6, 2024From Carlsbad, CA

Ken was an absolute delight to have at our little family gathering. He did not disappoint and my family absolutely LOVED EVERY SONG he played. We did not tell him what to play, but he knew exactly what to genre fit our family and he knows how to read a room. I could listen to him play guitar for hours and hours. Ken has a Warm voice, relaxed vibe, he helped set the tone for the day. He made my family so very happy! Book him and you won’t regret it! I promise you! Great price, great performance, amazingly quick set up and breakdown of equipment. We love KEN!!!!

Wedding CeremonyReviewed on June 13, 2024From Palm Springs, CA

I reached out to Ken pretty last minute to see if he was available to play my micro-wedding, and thankfully he was! His song list was extensive, he was willing to try to learn new songs, and was he always quick to respond to messages/questions. Our venue had very specific time limits, and he was able to set up in 15 minutes. I wish I could comment on the music, but I wasn't paying attention- I was in my own little world with my now-husband. That said, everyone was very complimentary about the music and the vibes. Thank you again, Ken.

Ken was so easy to work with and we had a wonderful event. His music helped to make it a big success and I couldn't be happier with his performance, professionalism, and talent.
