Description
Hi, my name is Gaku Murata. I'm an alumni of "Berklee College of Music" who works at Berklee Vocal Department as a accompanist, and I have been providing my service for functions, parties, weddings, and restaurants/bars around New England. I mainly play classical, jazz standards, popular music, and Latin music, however I will be more than happy to take a couple of requests from you. I'm confident that I'm going to be able to play whatever songs you requests. I also have classical string duo/trio and jazz quartet, which consist with experienced professional musicians. Please check descriptions of my bands below.
-Hirsch & Murata String Duo consists of cello and guitar. It has been performing classical tunes for ceremonies, and jazz standards for cocktail hours and functions. (Violin is also available up on your request.)
-Gaku Murata Quartet/ Organ Trio specializes in jazz standards (Duke Ellington, Jobim, George Gershwin, Cole Porter, Miles Davis, etc.) but can provide any style to fit the mood of your special occasion.
If you would like to see us performing, you are always welcome to visit our rehearsals.

- We hired Gaku to play our ceremony as a solo guitarist for our 10.17 wedding. We are so happy that we did! He was wonderful to work with - very easy going & friendly. Walking down the aisle to Gaku's guitar playing was beautiful. He is a very talented artist & I would recommend him to anyone! Thanks Gaku! -- Rachael D, Cranston, RI, 10/17/2009
- Gaku Murata Solo Guitar/String Duo/String trio and Project DCQ were fantastic. They were amazing and everything went perfect with our wedding. Hiring him (them) was one of the best choices we made in my wedding. Our guest's loved this band and everyone had a great time. Everyone is still raving about them. Thanks for making this day even more special for us.
