James Barr Classical Guitarist from Saint Petersburg, FL

I have dual residence in St. Petersburg, FL from Jan - March, and the remainder in Asheville, NC, with much traveling up and down the East Coast to Manhattan...I am a lucky guitarist, and grateful for it! Wedding ceremonies, corporate occasions, private and public events are my specialties. I play a wide range of music on solo guitar in a highly unique style – easy to listen to and highly appropriate for most occasions. (I do not sing but can bring singers and additional musicians on request) My repertoire ranges from renaissance to Bach to Beatles, Broadway, film hits to pop rock! Please consider me when you wish elegant and engaging background and mood setting music. Brides! I have created wedding ceremony music programs to help you plan and choose your music; you will find them on my website. My price includes (approximately) half hour of music while guests arrive; music selections for the procession of officiants and party members; Bridal entrance music; Celebratory theme after vows; Exit music; and hour of upbeat music while guests wait for the reception to begin. All Brides are different, all weddings differ, so I consult with you to customize your program! Currently and in the past I have played at venues like BILTMORE (many of their facilities), Gabrielle's in the Richmond Hill Inn and for events at The Arboretum, Renaissance Hotel and many fine dining establishments such as Stovetrotters in Biltmore Village. My current CD of popular music is available at the Richmond Hill Inn Gift Shop, as well as Stovetrotter's Bistro; it has received great reviews here, Florida and in New York. I travel the East Coast, and play often in NY and Fl, in addition to NC. I use the very best equipment from around the world, bring backups, and have high quality portable equipment (should you get married in the woods, the top of a mountain, or your back acerage, common choices here in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains or the east coast beaches!)
