Learn more about this vendor for your event.

Professional, unique, & captivating,.... Gareth Woods performs nationally & internationally for Festivals, Weddings, Corporate Events, Universities, & Night Clubs. He has performed for venues such as the House of Blues and corporations such as Merc Medical Supplies, but has also covered complete weddings including the Ceremony, Cocktail Hour, Dinner, & Dancing portion. This is a testament to his versatility, as he can perform anything from Irish ballads to modern comtemporary music such as Kings of Leon, Train and U2 to classic folk and rock such as Van Morrison, The Who, Rolling Stones and everything in between! The Band's size and instrumentation can be modified to perfectly match your entertainment needs, for example if you are looking for a cover band to rock out, Gareth has one. If you would like just a solo performer to sing during your ceremony, Gareth has the range and sensitivity to perform some of the most moving and memorable songs. How about some Traditional Irish music? Gareth was born and raised in Ireland and has other Irish musicians, including violinists, flute players, Uillean pipers (Irish pipes) that he regularly calls upon to team up with.

Review by Colleen M.

Corporate FunctionReviewed on September 23, 2012From Chicago, IL

Gareth performed at Anthropologie's Annual Fall Fashion Show on Chicago Avenue September 13 and the unique experience he generated was superb! The guests were sincerely moved by his passionate lyrics to songs he composed such as: "Made of Love", "Shine like the Sun" and "End of September". We received an overwhelming amount of feedback from our guests after the show expressing that Gareth's voice is unrivaled and he brought a nostalgic feeling to their experience! We couldn't more highly recommend Gareth for his professionalism and all around ability!

Private PartyReviewed on October 10, 2012From Chicago, IL

We had to change to date of our event at the last minute and were grateful for Gareth's flexibility. Everything went quite well and a number of people asked us after the event for his contact information, which is an excellent indicator that your guests truly enjoyed the entertainment.

Gareth was extremely professional. The type of music played was exactly what was delivered... and extremely well. Outstanding. The people enjoyed the performer and the person as well. His talents really made the party enjoyable. Big thanks to Gareth for a great performance
