Hello!

I am an acoustic guitarist and vocalist. I play beautiful ambient instrumental background music on guitar, sometimes adding vocal melodies to add timbre and enhance the sound. My music will help to create the atmosphere you are looking for. My musical menu includes:

Everything Eclectic, Awesome Art Songs, Ambient Acoustic, Melodic Marvels. Casual Classics, Tension Tamers, Soothing Soul, Rags 'n Roots, World Wisdom, Ice Breakers, Mind Moods, Fine Folk, Kidstuff and You (Requests).

You can view my setlists on my website under MUSIC. I come highly recommended and have an excellent reputation as professional yet flexible and easy to work with.

My fees are very reasonable and take into consideration travel time/expense, set up, break down, sound system, any rehearsals needed for new song requests, and the actual requested playing time -- all this essentially adds up to a good days work! If necessary at any particular venue, you may be asked to cover any parking fees and assure me of a parking space for loading and unloading.

If your budget allows for additional musicians you might consider my duo, trio, quartet or band! This would include the addition of a violin, flute, piano/keyboard, electric bass, drums and more.

Please feel free to call anytime!

• I am a flutist who was asked to provide a flute and guitar duo for a wedding ceremony on very short notice (2 weeks). I found Rahel via Gigmasters and we were able to prepare a half hour of pre-ceremony music, two processionals and a recessional. The wedding went great! We were even able to work out an arrangement of Simple Gifts with a singer, one of the bridesmaids, and perform it as part of the ceremony with just a few minutes practice. Thanks to Rahel for being so flexible, hard-working, and talented so that we could provide very professional classical music for this wedding. -- David H, Windham, NH, 6/14/2009
