I had the pleasure of having Paddy perform at three different private events, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. From a wedding renewal to an end-of-summer party and a retirement dinner, Paddy’s musical talents and engaging personality were nothing short of exceptional. For our wedding renewal, Paddy went above and beyond by learning and performing songs from our original wedding. His ability to personalize his performance to such a high degree made the event truly special. At the end-of-summer party, he seamlessly adapted his music to fit the vibe of the evening, creating a memorable atmosphere that everyone enjoyed. And for the retirement dinner, Paddy's performance was both sophisticated and entertaining, perfectly matching the tone of the occasion. Paddy's music sounds amazing, and his ability to read the room and engage with guests is truly impressive. He’s not only a fantastic musician but also a great person to have around. If you’re looking for someone to elevate your event with incredible music and a friendly demeanor, Paddy is the perfect choice. I can't say enough great things about him and would recommend him for any and all parties!! Thanks for everything Paddy! We can't wait to have you at our next event!

Paddy was very easy to work with. He was willing to take requests and work out a set list before the event. That was great! We really enjoyed his music and having him for our party.

Paddy was incredible to work with. From the first communication with him, he was professional and timely. For our wedding, my husband and I wanted a live guitarist and singer and Paddy delivered. He (and a good friend of his) did our ceremony music as well as our cocktail hour and crushed it! We could not of asked for a better day with him included. It was everything we had visioned for that time during our wedding and we were not disappointment. Would 10/10 recommend Paddy to perform at an important event whether its a wedding, bridal shower, birthday party, etc he will deliver. We cannot thank him enough for being involved in our wedding day.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I am more flexible with pricing for gigs that are closer to home and have smaller request lists. I have done a lot of work running events, so you’re paying for both the music and my ability to keep the show going!
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I found music when I was about 20 years old and was playing on a back porch. Someone asked me to open a show and when I realized I was getting paid, my life changed! Now I’ve got 10 years of experience and have learned a ton since being an opener.
What types of customers have you worked with?
I’ve worked with bars, families, individuals and their friends from many backgrounds and ages. Typically, customers who enjoy my services the most enjoy the blues, classic rock and a raw acoustic feel no
