Wedding Entertainers in Livermore, CA

“We had the pleasure of having Mike play for our wedding ceremony on the beach and cocktail hour at a nearby house. We actually enjoyed the ambiance so much we extended our time with him through our dinner, which he was happy to do. Highly recommend booking him for your next event!” - Carly Contract 8/26/24 “Exceptional performance by Mike. His country and bluegrass tunes were soothing and engaging. All of our guests and our team loved having Mike be part of our day long event. Can’t wait to have him join at one of our community events again!!!” - Christina Hollingsworth 10/13/24 🌞Hello! I'm a singer-songwriter-guitarist available to play your special event. I play a wide repertoire of songs from the 50's to now. From Elvis, Rolling Stones, Otis Redding, The Eagles, Willie Nelson, and the Beatles to Tom Petty, Amy Winehouse and Chris Stapleton. (Ask for a songlist!) I'm happy to cater to the clients needs, learn new song requests, and offer flexibility.. I have over 15 years experience performing live music. Whether its solo-acoustic, duo or a full band, you can find me playing a variety of events to a wide age range. Weddings, birthdays, corporate events, Holiday events, anniversaries, festivals, and more. I have my own equipment and usually play between 1-4 hours. Covers and originals. Ask for a quote today!

I don't take myself too serious. I believe in presenting in a humorous manner instead of a mysterious manner. Over the past 17 years I have developed programs which are based on what pleases my audiences. Bottom line is our goal is to entertain. When people come up to me after a performance and say "Thank you, you made my day". That is what I like most. It is a joy to help people forget about what is in the news or possible worries they have.
