About Vendor

I am a solo guitarist specializing in flamenco, classical, brazilian and popular styles. I am a graduate of the USC School of Music and The Music Academy of the West in Santa Barbara. I have performed at hundreds of weddings and events in the Santa Barbara area. I perform regularly at the Four Seasons Biltmore in Santa Barbara where I have been the featured guitarist since 2000. While I perform mainly as a soloist, I can also put together a duo or trio upon request.

Review by Madison A.

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on June 6, 2026•From Santa Barbara, CA

Sam Adams was everything we could have hoped for and more. He is such a talented musician and so easy to work with. He matched the vibe we were going for exactly, and performed like the pro he is. Our guests loved hearing him play and we will fondly remember the music he played during our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour always! Thanks, Sam!

Sam Adams:

Your review is much appreciated! Thanks for having me play at your wedding. Best wishes, Sam

Review by Stuart W.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on April 14, 2026•From Carpinteria, CA

Sam played Brazilian acoustic guitar during a private dinner party for 12 65 year old women. His music was beautiful and played at a perfect volume. Sam was delightful and 100% easy on the eyes. These women thought they’d died and gone to heaven . My only regret was that he didn’t play longer .

Sam Adams:

I enjoyed playing and meeting everyone. Hope to play for those lovely women again soon!

Review by Kristin B.

Wedding Cocktail Hour•Reviewed on September 7, 2025•From Santa Barbara, CA

Sam did a wonderful job playing at our son's wedding rehearsal dinner and welcome reception. He communicated promptly, arrived in plenty of time to get set up, played a variety of music selections for our crowd, and adapted to changes in the guests' ages throughout the evening. I would highly recommend Sam!

Sam Adams:

Thanks for your thoughtful review and thanks for having me, Sam
