Exceptional Solo Guitarist Available for Your Special Event Are you planning an event that may benefit from the elegant, intimate atmosphere of an acoustic solo guitarist? If you think this might be the added touch of class your event might require, please contact me. My forte is unaccompanied Jazz, Acoustic (a.k.a. "Adult Contemporary") and Classical guitar styles. I've had decades of experience in this genre, as staff guitarist for the Upper St Clair Country Club (nearly 18 years), Alfano's at the Quail, and Palazzo 1837; I've performed with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra since 2001 (I'm currently their "1st call" guitarist) as well as several other top performing organizations (Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, Nat'l Philharmonic Orchestra, Pgh CLO, Pgh Musical Theatre, WV Public Theatre, etc.) and presently hold teaching posts in guitar at two large universities (West Virginia University, West Liberty University) and an exclusive, prominent private college (Washington & Jefferson). You can trust me to do a professional and artistic performance at your private function. The music is transparent -- no vocals, no drum machines, no tapes or "looping" that might be intrusive to conversation. I'm available for weddings, receptions, cocktails, corporate events, rehearsal dinners, house parties, holiday gatherings, wine tastings, brunches, etc., etc., etc. . . anything that might benefit from the added touch of live ambient background music. I'm comfortable performing for an intimate dinner for two, or a reception of several hundred. Repertoire ranges from Cole Porter to Eric Clapton, Disney to J.S. Bach. I've been a professional full-time musician since 1979, and a member of the Pgh Musician's Union (American Federation of Musicians, Pgh Local # 60-471) for many years. My fees are very reasonable. Restaurant / Event Planner inquiries welcome (special rates)! "Scott --- We just want to again thank you for playing at our wedding on Sept 2nd. The music was exactly what we hoped for. We received many compliments on it & you certainly helped to complete our day. Thanks again --" John and Susan L. (Sept 2, 2012) "Scott Elliott is a superb guitarist. I was truely lucky to have run across his web site when I searched acoustic guitarist. He is professional and gracious from the start. I never met with Scott in person prior to the wedding, just phone calls and emails, as he helped me plan out the music. Our special day was made even more special by Scott as all my guests praised his playing as I visited each table." Susan B (August 18, 2012) "It was great meeting you and I am sure we will talk again! We had nothing but positive feedback about the music!" Shelly M., The Washington Hospital Foundation (Re: Donor Reception, Sept 13, 2012) "Scott, I was not there but heard WONDERFUL things about the quality of your performance! Bravo! Well done! I was told that you "really classed up the joint" and many said it was the best political event they have ever been to, in large part due to your music. Thanks again for your tremendous effort. I'm sure you will be gearing from me again!" Kendra M., Event Coordinater (Political Fundraiser Breakfast, IBEW #5, March 3, 2013)

Review by Joseph T.

Private PartyReviewed on August 13, 2023From Lewis Center, OH

Scott is a very talented musician and added greatly to our private outdoor patio party. He arrived early, traveling 2.5 hours from out of state, and set up in plenty of time before guests arrived. He works very professionally and played a fine repertoire of music over 3.5 hours. Compared to the guitarist we had prior year, the tunes or the variations of theme were not perhaps as recognizable (i.e, we could not name the songs), but the listening was delightful nonetheless.

Birthday Party (Adult)Reviewed on July 8, 2023From Lake Milton, OH

Mr. Elliott is such a talent, and moreover, such a gentleman. I highly recommend him!

Review by Bryan S.

Christmas PartyReviewed on December 20, 2022From Bedford, PA

Scott provided us with a couple hours of perfectly suited background guitar during our company's Christmas Party over drinks, appetizers and dinner. Sounded great, perfect volume, nice musical selection heavy on the holiday tunes as requested. He brought three guitars - classical, jazz and steel string acoustic - which should plenty identify his professionalism in switching guitars depending on material. Incredibly polite and easy to work with and it was even on about a week's notice. Will definitely look to book again.
