Rick Bales Acoustic Guitarist from Palm Harbor, FL

I will ensure that your event is a success! I play a wide variety of music from today's most popular artists including Jack Johnson, Train, Jason Mraz and more, as well as Classic Rock, 80's, Country and R&B. I strive to create an original style, and always play from the heart. I create unique acoustic interpretations of your favorite tunes. I perform as a solo acoustic act, but can also play with a percussionist in a duo or with a bass and percussionist in a trio. Each instrumentation has a very natural laid back acoustic vibe. NO prerecorded music or tracks! I have video and audio samples available. Please take a listen. I have over 35 years of performing experience and have regular gigs at local hotels, restaurants, and other venues. I write and perform original music as well as covers. I am available for wedding ceremonies, rehearsal dinners, cocktail hours, corporate events, bars and restaurants in Tampa bay and the surrounding area. I have the experience to adjust to specific needs for your event. I carry top notch equipment to fit the volume and energy level needed for each event, from soft background music to high energy party atmosphere. ** I carry a battery powered PA system for wedding ceremonies on the beach, or any location where electricity is not available. This includes a microphone to amplify the ceremony if requested. ** I have a large repertoire of songs and the set list for your event can be customized to meet your needs!
