I may not be the cheapest musician you can find, but it is my hope that you will have been glad you found me. It will be my pleasure to communicate with those of you interested in hiring me for your event. I try not to accept the challenge of more than 2 specific client-requested songs per event. I can perform songs that aren't already in my repertoire provided I have at least 3-4 days to learn a particular song. Within all of my presentations I add my own original music to the sets. It is through my work as a guitar instructor, songwriter, singer, bandleader, music fan and all, I am able to learn and perform a wide range of music. I arrive 45 minutes to 1 hour ahead of the scheduled performance time to set up and start at the top of the requested hour. I can provide background or present a concert. When performing solo for 2 or more hours I play both electric and acoustic guitars through quality gear. My duty to share beauty this woman herself would have loved too. That experience taught me a lot about the caressing, comforting nature of music as the family stood around the casket at the gravesite. Perhaps my most challenging performance was a graveside funeral for a family and husband who just lost their matriarch and wife, respectively, who had me sing one of the deceased favorite songs, "Into The Mystic"(Van Morrisson), just a short time after the loss of my own adult son. My longest solo job ever was a 4th of July block party in 2020, where I played for 6 hours, though I was originally hired for 4 hours. I am proud of my consistent 5 star ratings as that is the standard that comes through reliability and the work I've put in to come through for clients that trust that I will provide the best I can for every situation. I urge you to look through my reviews, of which there are more than most in the Live Entertainment field. I have played in a weekly church band since 2016. For a full band I definitely require ample lead time.Īlongside playing in clubs, theaters, and festival venues I have had a lot of experiences with private parties, house concerts, birthday celebrations, memorials, weddings, graveside funerals, marriage proposals(for which I am 12 for 12!), private "after wedding" performances of a special song, corporate events of all types, block parties, Memorial and Veterans Day ceremonies. I am able to hire many great musicians for gigs but they must be contacted well ahead of dates as they are “first call” level players. For ease, I tend to do most gigs as a soloist or with percussion and possibly cello. I work in many configurations from solo to a 7-piece full band. When you hire my services for Live Entertainment you are bringing in a performing artist with more than 52 years of experience as a guitarist/vocalist/music interpreter, with 45+ of those years as a bandleader in order to play my originals and “select” covers. ![]() Why you should hire me as Live Entertainment: I am also the main promoter of a music festival that takes place in April in honor of my son called “Zach Fest”. ![]() I am currently working on my 6th album of original music called "The Dignity Project". My goal is to keep the numbers small as I am shifting to focus on my career as a performing music artist. Teaching guitar has opened up an amazing range of songs genres I never touched on before I began teaching in 2002.Īt this time I am open to a couple of new guitar student clients. Word of mouth and repeat clients have bolstered my ability to become better at my craft of live performance as the years go by. I am a full time musician, particularly thanks to my robust guitar and performance education business and the many live gig opportunities received through Thumbtack from the inception of this platform. My guitar instruction side is called "Academy of Music Performance". My artist name is "Garrick Davis World Blues" - look me up on your favored internet search page if you are seeking more background information. Thank you for checking my profile! My name is Garrick Davis.
