FAQ's

Q: How long have you been playing guitar?
A: Over 40 years, since the age of 5. I also have a Bachelor's Degree in Music Performance.

Q: How much experience do you have performing at events? 
A: I have over 30 years of professional performing experience. I have performed at 100's of events over the years, including President Bill Clinton's Inaugural Gala. I have appeared on Local and National Television.

Q: What are you rates?
A: It depends on several factors. Length of playing time, travel distance, time of year, day of the week, nature of the event, etc. Please request a free quote. 

Q: How far in advance should we book you?
A: For peak event months I would suggest a year in advance. I will often get multiple requests for the same date.

Q: Do you accept last minute bookings?
A: Yes, if I am available. Please refer to my calendar for specific availability.

Q: What kind of music do you play?
A: It depends on the specific event. I customize my playlist to fit the needs of my clients. I can cover a wide array of different styles on nylon string classical and steel string acoustic guitar including: Classical, Folk, Jazz, Latin, Rock, Pop, and more. I work very closely with my clients to select the most appropriate mix of music. Please check out my audio samples for just a small sampling of what I can do.

Q: Do you have a song list and can we tell you what to (and what not to) play?
A: Yes and Yes. Scroll all the way down the page to see my set list. I realize that not every client is going to like every artist or song I cover. I welcome clients to create "play and don't play" 

Q: Some of your recordings sound like there are multiple guitar parts, how are you doing that?
A: I use a Boss RC-20XL Loop Station pedal on certain songs. This device enables me to layer multiple guitar parts during a live performance. The end result sounds like an entire ensemble is playing with just a single guitar. And I of course perform pure solo guitar pieces as well. Check out my videos and audio recordings for examples of each style. 

Q: Can you perform on a beach or other outdoor venues?
A: Yes, I love to perform at outdoor venues. I have a battery powered sound system for such occasions.

Q: What is the significance of the GigMasters Star Rating?
A: I have earned a 5 Star Rating. I am in the top 5% out of a universe of 10,000 entertainers here.

Q: If I book you, will you provide a contract.
A: Yes, absolutely. 

Q: My venue requires insurance for outside vendors, do you have any?
A: Yes, I can provide a certificate of insurance if required.

Q: Do you have references?
A: I have dozens of client reviews and testimonials. Please take some time to read them

From the moment we first talked with Thomas, we knew he was the perfect match for our style. He not only specializes in classical songs but he also plays classics! After our wedding, we had people telling us how lovely the music was during our cocktail hour. What was most special to me however, was how Thomas learned a song special for my walk down the isle, All My Days, by Alexi Murdoch. He had no sheet music to learn it by, so he learned it by ear for us... and he learned it in under a week. He made me a very happy bride and my husband a very happy tearful groom ;) It came out so beautiful.  I couldn't say enough good things about him! 

Thomas Duffy's music added so much to our September 15th ceremony and cocktail hour! All the guests made a point of telling us how much they enjoyed his guitar playing. My husband is a guitarist and can be quite critical but he was impressed! Thomas was very accommodating throughout the whole process. I am so glad that he was a part of our day! Thank you Thomas!

Out of all the compliments I've received about my wedding, I've received the most about Thomas.  My guests absolutely loved how unique his style was and the different styles of music he was able to play so well.  Many people have asked me for his name, and I would recommend him for any event in a heartbeat.  He was able to fill the room up with music with just one instrument, which was exactly what we were looking for.  He is extremely talented and very easy to work with.  We couldn't have been happier!

Tom was recommended to us by the reception hall and we could not have been happier. We hired him for the ceremony and cocktail hour and it was perfect! Tom was very pleasant and professional to work with. I would highly recommend him to anyone! 

Tom was extremely easy to deal with and did a WONDERFUL job at our wedding. He performed the exact song list we asked for and even learned a song just for us. He was completely self-sufficient in setting up and getting ready - I didn't even know he was there until I was walking down the aisle hearing exactly what I envisioned! Definitely recommend him for any wedding or special event that needs to be perfect!
