Lenny Batista

• Lenny Batista - Guitar/Harmonica/Vocals
• Adrian Batista - Percussion

Hello, thanks for checking out my presskit. I have been a musician in the South Florida area for over 20 years, I play a multicultural mix of songs sure to please the audience for any event. I perform a variety of classics both old and contempory, rock, pop, country, musica latina. My playlist ranges from Nat King Cole to Cat Stevens to Green Day to Kenny Chesney. My extensive playlist allows me to taylor the performance to suit the event and the audience. I am equally at ease with a soft ballad or rocking out the house.

I am a guitarist trained with famed teacher Vincent Bredice as well as a singer and I also play the blues harp (harmonica) to accompany the guitar and vocals. Only LIVE MUSIC, no kareoke or prerecorded tracks. For a more lively event, percussion accompaniment is also available. I have performed at many events and venues throughout South Florida such as The Barnacle Moonlight Concerts and the Fort Lauderdale Blues Festival. I have also performed at numerous wedding ceremonies and cocktail hours as well as many private, corporate and charity events. I also have an extensive playlist of childrens songs.

Have a special song in mind, no problem. Special requests are welcomed.

Beach or garden wedding or event, no worries, I have a battery powered sound sytem powerful enough for any outdoor setting.

There is nothing like live music, give me a call I guarantee you wont be disappointed.

Also available, "Cuban Nostalgia" themed events. Featuring the great songs from those tropical nights in Havana of yesteryear. Cigar rolling table (with professional cigar roller)is also available.

Lastly, if the party wants to dance, I can provide dance music, old school disco, R&B, Reggea, Salsa, but NO Hip hop or Rap or Reggeton (ok maybe a little Reggeton). the same as DJ would provide but at a volume suitable to the event and without the loud DJ chatter and big speakers.

Give me a call or drop me an email. Take a look at my client feedback. You wont regret it.

Also if you are having a destination wedding or are expecting out of town guests, my company, Sunshine Tours & Travel Services, can provide transportation and airport pickup and drop off services. Please take a look at my website,

Thanks again and have a great day.

• Lenny was just what we were looking for! He played at our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. He learned a new song 2 weeks before the wedding and played it beautifully! We wanted traditional wedding music for the ceremony and fun, upbeat, island music for the cocktail hour, and Lenny delivered! I would hire Lenny again and recommend him for any event. -- Stacey N, Fort Myers, FL, 12/30/2011
• Lenny played at our wedding in Key Largo this month and I can't say enough positive things about him. He played excellent songs, created an awesome vibe, got everyone dancing, and even learned the Have Nagila in Hebrew for us. I highly recommend him! -- Phaedra X, Key Largo, FL, 12/10/2011
• Lenny was INCREDIBLE! From his responsiveness prior to the event all the way until the completion of the event Lenny was a true professional. Lenny is extremely diverse and talented and I received NUMEROUS compliments about his abilities and diverse playlist. Since our event was on December 1st, at the last minute I asked Lenny to mix in some Holiday selections which he gladly accommodated. Lenny read the crowd and customized the playlist to please the group of medical professionals in attendance. Lenny was very dependable and self- sufficient throughout the process and we will definitely be using him again. Thanks for making our night a huge success, Lenny! -- Ray E, West Palm Beach, FL, 12/1/2011
• Lenny Batista and his band were AMAZING!!! Professional, talented, flexible and KNOWS its audience...They learned to play a special song for the wedding, at my request, for our ceremony and they ROCKED it! I am so glad we selected him for this very special event. Every single guest could not say enough of how great they were! They play all types of music (rock, pop, latin, acoustic, ballads, you name it) and they play it with expertise. I plan to use this band over and over again for all my future social events. They exceeded my expectations...They deserve the "5 STAR RATING" across all categories.. -- Adeline D, Miami Lakes, FL, 11/11/2011
• Lenny is genuine, sweet and a very talented musician. He helped to coordinate the musical details for my wedding ceremony and reception and through his confidence assured me I need not worry about the details. My husband and I are great lovers of classic rock and Lenny hits it out of the park and the guests only had great things to say about him. I can't wait for another opportunity to work with Lenny again. Thanks for making our day special, care-free and memorable!!! Erica & Greg -- Erica A, Fort Lauderdale, FL, 10/2/2011
• Lenny was AMAZING!!!! All of our guests LOVED the music and Lenny. Lenny is not only extremely talented, but he is the utmost professional. Lenny was very accommodating and even learned "our song" for us. When there were challenges with the venue Lenny was a calming presence and remained flexible He added so much to the party. I can't wait to book him again. I was nervous booking since I only listened to the sound clips, but I can assure anyone you have no need to worry if you book Lenny. Thank you Lenny for making my husbands birthday his dream evening! -- Natalie E, Ft Lauderdale, FL, 10/1/2011

• Lenny was excellent! He learned several songs for me and worked with my friend to sing a solo at the wedding! He sang and played the guitar perfectly! Everyone at the wedding raved about him! It truly added something great at the wedding! -- Allison B, Fort Lauderdale, FL, 8/6/2011
• Lenny was fantastic. I asked him to come to a restaurant to sing a special song to my girlfriend as part of my proposal. He had her crying in seconds. She was saying yes before I even asked the question. -- Jason T, Miami Beach, FL, 7/16/2011
• Lenny was absolutely amazing. He made all the difference in the world and my party was a hit!! Definitely going to se him again and ally friends loved him! -- Lorena F, Miami, FL, 4/9/2011
• Lenny is absolutely terrific. An incredibly gifted performer and a very nice guy. He has performed for our Firm's summer parties for the past three years and I will never hire anyone else for our events. My guests loved him and he had everyone singing along. He made our party a huge success. Thanks Lenny and we'll see you next summer! -- Natalie S, Pinecrest, FL, 7/31/2010
• He truly did make our special day memorable!! Sang all the songs we requested (and beautifully!!). His communication was fantastic, his professionalism was profound, and his skills are amazing. Would definitely recommend him to a friend; in fact, we'll be using him again!! If you're in doubt, don't be ... our wedding wouldn't have been this amazing without him. Thank you Lenny for everything!!!! -- Natasha M, Sunny Isles, FL, 2/19/2011
• Lenny performed at our wedding ceremony at the Ancient Spanish Monastery. He was everything we hoped for and so much more! He has a beautiful voice, is very talented, friendly and professional and made sure everything went smoothly during our ceremony. He made our ceremony beautiful and touching with his talent. We highly recommend Lenny. You will not be disappointed. -- Diana B, Miami, FL, 11/5/2010
• Lenny was great. He was very easy to work with and very professional at the actual event. I was worried the songs would be too "campy" for our wedding but it came out just wonderful. We are so grateful to him! -- Hali D, Miami Beach, FL, 4/2/2011
• There are no words to express our gratitude toward Lenny. He is extemely talented, friendly, professional, charming, etc... He touched our hearts and will forever be our friend. He was part of our wedding like family and made it so special. We are very grateful and what he has done will never be forgotten. We were very priveledged to have him perform on our special day. If you want your event to be special, you can't go wrong with Lenny. Lenny, you're the best! Than you so very much! Karine & Richard -- Karine S, Fort Lauderdale, FL, 4/30/2010
• I arranged for a surprise serenade for a relative’s wedding I was unable to attend. Lenny was very kind, gracious, accommodating and helpful. Although, I did not personally experience the performance, reports were very complementary. I would definitely recommend Lenny Batista. -- Lynda R, Miami, FL, 5/16/2010
• Lenny was willing to play for my daughter's wedding ceremony at lovely Fairchild Tropical Garden with short notice. He has an extensive play list. My daughter and her future husband were able to select songs that added meaning to, and complimented, their beautiful wedding ceremony. Lenny was very accomodating. He even offered to learn a song if it was not on the list. You can tell that he really loves what he does. We received numerous compliments about the music. The only regret that I have is that the ceremony only lasted an hour. I would have loved to have had more time to sit in the Garden serenaded by Lenny's music. -- Joette R, Miami, FL, 12/11/2010
• Mr. Lenny Batista was exceptional. A complete professional he was able to work with us on short notice with out increasing the original quote. His skills are amazing, an extreamly talanted performer. He set the perfect mood for our themed event with his image and song selection. He did a great job reading the the Guest and performing the perfect selection of music to get everyone in a partying mood. Not only will we recommend him to all of our friends and family, but we will not hesitate to hire him again for our next special event! Lenny Batista is the performer to go with, you will not regret it! -- Mercedes M, Key Biscayne, FL, 10/24/2009

• Lenny's performance was outstanding. He was very accomodating and satisfied his audience's request ALL THE TIME. Amazing performer. Would recommend him on a heartbeat. Thank you Lenny. Hope to see you another time.. -- Zulma H, Miami, FL, 5/22/2009
• Lenny was perfect for our party. He was professional, personable and on-time. We enjoyed having him there and the music was just what we were looking for. He gave our party that added touch to make it that much more special. Lenny always replied to my emails in a efficient manner. We look forward to booking him again. -- Elizabeth S, Miami, FL, 7/10/2010
• My Wife and I were so impressed with Lenny! When we were looking for an artist to perform at our weddind, we really had no idea what to expect. Gigmasters.com made the process easier, but we still were not sure what we were getting. Once I spoke to Lenny on the phone, her made me feel more at ease and said, "the last thing you have to worry about is me and the music". Boy was he right. He was professional, prompt, and played the exact music we were looking for. We loved him so much we had him continue to play another hour. I highly recommend him for any function. We wil use him again for sure! -- Cian D, Biscayne Park, FL, 5/16/2009
