Ken was amazing! Can't say enough good things about his voice, guitar skills and overall performance. He played at a backyard party with about 50 people. He made the night and all the guests were so impressed! Would hire him again!! Thank you Ken!

Engagement Party•Reviewed on June 27, 2025•From Culver City, CA

Ken was terrific, and his performance truly enhanced our party. He arrived on time and knew from one look at our guests exactly what to play. More than a few of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed Ken's music. We would gladly have him back again and can highly recommend him to others.

Celebration•Reviewed on July 6, 2024•From 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 Ceremony•Reviewed on June 13, 2024•From 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.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on December 10, 2023•From Tustin, CA

Corporate Function•Reviewed on June 16, 2023•From Costa Mesa, CA

I can't say enough good things about Ken Earnest. In addition to being incredibly talented, he was a pleasure to work with. We hired Ken to play music during a corporate fundraiser/silent auction with about 500 lawyers present. My guests raved about his talent and he added a wonderful vibe to the event. Ken was flexible (stopping play during speeches/announcements), was professional, responded to my questions both pre-event and during. He was amazing. I definitely plan to use Ken again in the future.

Ken was a huge hit at my wife’s 50th birthday party. Throughout the night, our guests asked me “Where did you find him? He is amazing!” I was thrilled with Ken. He was easy to work with before and during the event, played all the great classics on our list, and made the event extra special. I highly recommend him!

Ken was top notch to say the least. He played for a 70 person corporate dinner on the beach and was excellent. He has a beautiful voice and a wonderful guitarist. I will definitely be hiring him for future Orange County events.
