Guitarist Bryce 5
Guitarist, One Man Band, Entertainer, DJ
Perfect music for all styles, and “Beach Type” events with a “Jimmy Buffett” style!
It is my purpose to bring you the very best in guitar/vocal performance for that special occasion in your life.
Whether it be celebrations such as weddings, graduations or parties. Whatever the occasion that you are celebrating!

My core performances are in the form of Acoustic steel string guitar and vocals. Acoustic guitar and singing is a popular form of Live Music with venues and at events like mixers and weddings because it has a soothing light touch, is not over bearing in sound and volume, is family friendly and has a grass roots appeal that invites people to sing, if it is played with professionalism.
– Who doesn’t enjoy Classic Rock from the Beatles, Eagles, America, and grass roots artists such as Neil Young, Buffalo Springfield, John Denver, James Taylor, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Simon & Garfunkel. Then there’s more edgier sounds of the Doors, Tom Petty, Johnny Cash, and modern sounds from John Mayer, Jack Johnson, Cold Play, Life House, Michael Bublee. I also play 80′s tunes from such artists as REO Speedwagon, the Church (Under the Milky Way Tonight), Bryan Adams, Poison, and 90′s from MatchBox 20, Deeps Blue Something (Breakfast at Tiffany’s), the Goo Goo Dolls.
