Birthday Party - Adult
Gary performed for a surprise birthday party at our home for about sixty guests. I received many complements for his music throughout the night and days later, so I know the guests enjoyed his music very much. He set the right mood through his song selection and playing style - it was great listening and really made the party a special event. I would hire him again in minute and recommend him strongly.

Highest marks for Mr. Reed.
Mr. Reed played background music at a 30 person dinner party in a private room in an upscale eatery in Manhattan. He was very professional, personable and responded to requests for a bit of dance music later in the evening with expertise. He comes with our highest recommendation and, should the situation arise, I would feel very comfortable engaging his services again. Nothing but highest marks.

I've had the pleasure of working with singer/songwriter Gary Reed both in the studio and live performances. His song list includes many popular tunes that people always enjoy. He is also a very accomplished fingerstyle guitarist with a giant catalog of memorable songs he has written. Anyone attending one of his shows is in for a major treat!
