Wedding & Event Music
by KEVIN TOQE
::: Expect Excellence :::
"Kevin is a perfect choice for anyone's wedding day. His music is beautiful, gentle, and from the heart. Our wedding was nothing short of blessed by Kevin's special touch."
- Rob and Alyssa Hosbach (San Luis Obispo, CA)
Although he's commonly likened to the styles of James Taylor, John Mayer, & Kenny Loggins, what sets Kevin Toqe apart from other musicians at your event is summed up in two words—artistic personalization.
From original love songs requested quite often to originally arranged covers, you'll have plenty of material to choose from, all of it with its own unique feel.
Also, as pop/folk/country as Kevin sounds in certain settings, Kevin also has a great love for the Motown era and its soulful characteristics. He loves to bridge the folk genres with country all the while mixing in soul/Motown grooves.
Pricing/rates are as custom as your music will be, so contact Kevin and start the conversation!
Kevin is known best for his originals, but he will also perform cover songs (see complete song list in Press Kit).
***PLEASE specify if you're looking for mostly cover songs because the needed prep time for certain kinds of cover music can greatly vary. Let's talk!
A best-fit event for Kevin includes: * Weddings & private events* University Events * City and/or civic events (ceremonies, meetings, etc.) * Local benefits (hospitals, fundraisers, etc) * Fairs, festivals, & parades.
SNAPSHOT BIO:
Growing up in California, 27-year-old singer-songwriter Kevin Toqe didn't have to look far to find beauty in the surrounding landscape. The San Francisco Bay Area was where he developed musically with the help of some talented mentors and hours of practice. Now, through the writing and performing landscape, Kevin has developed a medium for communicating Love through song and verse.
***CLIENTELE REVIEWS***
"I'm sincere when I say that having Kevin play at our wedding was absolutely a highlight of our day. The ceremony music added so much to such a special moment, I loved walking down the aisle to beautiful live music, and we even got to do our first dance to his own 'Love is.' He was so easy to work with, and I never had a worry that the music wouldn't be what I wanted! Would totally recommend him!" - Leah St. Pierre (San Francisco)
"Kevin was great to work with. He was able to take a song that I liked that had three versions and combine all their best elements together into exactly the arrangement that I was looking for. The song that I walked down the aisle to was unique, exactly what I wanted, and perfectly timed—crescendoing just as the doors opened for me to walk down the aisle! Thanks Kevin for being flexible and doing an amazing job!" - Krista Adams (Monterey, CA)
"Kevin was such a blessing. I happened to walk by when he was playing music outside a restaurant one beautiful day. His music touched my heart, and I thought to myself, 'He would be perfect to play at my dad's celebration of life.' He was amazing and made the party a great success." -Donelyn Haisley (Benicia)
"Kevin was amazing! I enjoyed his music so much, and he brought such a great style and presence to our wedding! It wouldn't have been the same without him there! Thanks again!" - Kim W. (Fairmont)

"We hired Kevin for our intimate winery wedding ceremony . He was very responsive throughout the process from the initial contact, through the planning & on through the actual ceremony date. Kevin executed everything perfectly: playing/singing the processional "Feels Like Home" and then softly playing instrumentally throughout our ceremony. He did a fantastic job entertaining our guests during our champagne toast & while we were off taking photos. Kevin's song 'Home Is' was perfect for our impromptu dance. We accidentally overpaid him (in addition to our tip) & he contacted us immediately but we said keep it because he was worth it! Kevin is very talented (&sweet)!"

"We had a wedding on April 20, 2012 in Yountville and had the pleasure to have Kevin play our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. I can't say enough nice things about Kevin as a person, but I think I can sum up his musical ability by repeating one of my best friend's comments to me - "it sounds like a CD is playing, and then I look over and he's actually singing." I would recommend Kevin to anyone looking for a great artist, you'll be glad you worked with such a talented human being. Book him now before you see him playing Leno and touring the country."

"Kevin was amazing. He arrived early, required very little direction, set-up and then was ready to go. The guests loved him. Absolutely everyone commented on the originality and quality of his voice. The rooms seemed so quiet once he had gone for the evening. We highly recommend Kevin."
