About Vendor

-- "Kit is a guitar wizard with more than a sprinkle of magic" -- Moe Dixon IF YOU'RE LOOKING for someone who will play quantity rather than quality, or try to sound just like the original recording or artist, I'm NOT him. -- "It's rare to hear guitar playing this good in a singer-songwriter context." -- Mark Orton, critically acclaimed composer and guitarist with "Tin Hat" IF YOU'RE LOOKING for someone who will give a heartfelt and memorable performance and who consistently connects with listeners across a diverse spectrum, then I am him. -- "Kit is a musician's musician, one who has carved a musical path to playing what's in his heart. His fingers are deft and agile, and he plays what the song requires - not his ego - with soulful self-assurance." -- Don Campbell, musician and writer for publications such as Gorge Magazine, the Oregonian and NW Airlines' World Traveler magazine. IF YOU'RE LOOKING for a committed, cordial, friendly and easy-going lifetime musician who is authentic and highly skilled and entertaining, with unique arrangements that readily connect to a wide audience, I'm him.

Review by Matthew B.

Wedding ReceptionReviewed on September 6, 2023From Portland, OR

I cant believe Kit Garoutte was in the house performing his instrumental music at our roof top wedding reception. First off, I have been listening to his music via "apple music". for years, so to have him perform live in person for a very special occasion was a icing on the cake. His music was loved by all and we all felt blessed he was available. Kit is an absolute professional and has a huge vault of cover music he can play for any occasion, but his original music is on par with some of the best recording artists in the country. Kit is also very easy to work with when planning our event. Thank you Kit!

Kit Garoutte:

It was a pleasure and an honor to play for you and your loved ones Matt! I look forward to seeing you all again sometime very soon! Thank you.

Review by Sean F.

Memorial ServiceReviewed on June 3, 2023From Oregon City, OR

Kit is a consumate professional and went above and beyond for our program. He put in extra time learning songs that we requested to be played at my mom's memorial service and celebration of life ceremony. He coordinated with another singer and put in extra effort to rehearse with her prior to our service. He toured the venue ahead of time to make sure the sound and acoustics would be up to standard. I would highly recommend Kit Garoutte for any type of performance. He was awesome to work with!

Kit Garoutte:

Thank you for your kind appreciation Sean, and for trusting me with such a significant role in honoring the amazing mother you and your family obviously love so dearly. The heartfelt appreciation for my contribution to the celebration that so many generously expressed was deeply meaningful to me. My sincere gratitude and best wishes for you all from the bottom of my heart.

Corporate FunctionReviewed on June 17, 2016From Hood River, OR

Kit's music was perfect for our corporate event. He is a highly skilled guitarist, very personal, professional and accommodating. He played a wide variety of music, something for everybody - the guests loved him. I would highly recommended him and hope to hire him again in the future.
