• Brendan Lake - Guitar

Doctorate of Musical Arts in Guitar Performance student - UMN

Master of Music in Guitar Performance - Arizona State, 2011

Bachelor of Music in Guitar Performance - Arizona State 2009


I am a solo classical guitarist who performs for weddings, social events, company functions, parties, and any other event where acoustic/classical guitar is desired. I've been playing and performing for 10 years, and am currently a Doctoral student at the University of Minnesota studying Classical Guitar Performance. I have a Bachelor's and a Master's degree from Arizona State in Classical Guitar Performance.

I can provide all of my own equipment and I arrange music if special songs are requested. I play in the genres of Classical, Spanish, Tango, Popular, and various others, and I've performed on Good Morning Arizona and in several venues here in the U.S. as well as in Canada and Spain. I have a website where you can find more information.

I guarantee you'll be satisfied with my performance. Recently, I performed for a wedding, and the groom thanked me in his toast, and later offered to be a reference for me. He also wrote an email after the wedding, stating, "Thanks so much for playing at our wedding and reception. We received so many compliments on your music and it created the perfect atmosphere for the evening."

Thanks for browsing my profile, and best wishes,
Brendan Lake

• Brendan played classical and spanish guitar at our backyard reception this spring, and was absolutely wonderful. He is an extremely talented musician and we felt very lucky to have him play for our family and friends. I cannot recommend him highly enough. If you are looking for wonderful ambiance for a dinner or gathering, Brendan will be perfect. I've already gotten so many compliments about his playing. He came fully prepared with his own lighting, stand, amplifier, etc., and was so polite and gracious, we enjoyed him immensely. We will definitely hire him for events in the future. -- Kalisa O, Gilbert, AZ, 3/19/2011
