Hi,
My name is Kenny Earnest.
I am a guitarist, singer-songwriter available for weddings, private gatherings & corporate events. With over 400 songs I have an eclectic mix of musical styles that will satisfy most musical tastes.

FACTS:
Looking for that 'special' music for your wedding ceremony/reception(?) or, you want great entertainment for a company event but don't want to pay the [thousands of] bucks for a full band(?) or, you're throwing an annual soiree/party and you want a segue of great music that each & every guest will enjoy(!?). Whatever entertainment needs you have I will make sure that they are fulfilled. Rest assured that, by hiring me, you get not only a top-level performer (one who's always prompt, personable, captivating & courteous) but, also... above all... a consummate professional with years of 'know-how' and entertainment experience. Please do contact me today!



***WEDDINGS:
I can provide all the music for your 'special day', including light cocktail & dinner music and will even learn any special songs you might want as part of your event! If you prefer traditional music for your wedding ceremony I can perform "Canon in D" or perhaps you would like to walk down the aisle to a more contemporary selection like "Marry Me" by Train. I will also assist you (if requested) in choosing appropriate song selections for your wedding ceremony (processional, bride entrance, sand or candle ceremonies, recessional and first dance). I understand how stressful your wedding day can be. I can guarantee that I will return your emails or phone calls PROMPTLY and will always be available to discuss any details or concerns you might have. I will do my part to ensure that the music on your wedding day will be beautiful, inspiring, and above all memorable!

***COCKTAiL HOUR:
I play appropriate song selections tailored to the favorite music style of the bride and groom. I keep all of the music happy and upbeat and of course romantic as well. I will also take requests from the guests! Most importantly I always perform at a volume level that is not overpowering and will allow the guests to easily converse with each other in a normal manner.



***EQUIPMENT:
I have ALL of the musical equipment required for ANY event. I have battery powered speakers in the event that there is no electricity available (beach or park). I can also supply a wireless microphone which can be used by the wedding officiant or for making announcements and toasts!


***HISTORY:
My Dad started me playing guitar at age 10 and I've continually developed my guitar-playing skills, having written more than 150 original songs and special pieces of music. In my career, I've supported such major acts as: The Goo-Goo Dolls, Matchbox Twenty, Glen Frey(The Eagles), John Waite, Eddie Money, Tonic, & Pat Benatar, having also performed at venerable venues like: the Bren Center, Coach House, Galaxy Theater, the Roxy, Verizon Amphitheater & Whiskey-a-GoGo.. and all the memorable gigs in between.




SKYPE ME! If you have a Skype account we can connect and I can perform a song or two for you LIVE on Skype. How is that for service? ;)




Sincerely,
Kenny Earnest
