Rudi Harst Singer Guitarist from San Antonio, TX

Hire this experienced, engaging entertainer, skilled multi-instrumentalist and prolific songwriter if you're looking for someone to enhance your event by tailoring his performance to your audience. In addition to a deep repertoire of his original songs and refreshing covers of folk-rock classics, Rudi is adept at playing acoustic guitar instrumentals in the background, as well as improvising witty, insightful songs on the spot guaranteed to impress your guests. In addition to guitar, Rudi plays harmonica, mandolin, flute and mountain dulcimer. He is available as a solo performer, but also has a top quality band, Rudi + the Rudiments, which books as a trio (guitar, bass, drums) or sextet (+keyboard, percussion, trombone). Whatever the format or venue, Rudi is highly skilled at "reading the room" -- and can easily switch from providing upbeat, front-and-center entertainment to smooth, easy-listening background music. He has performed thousands of times over the past 40 years, but still brings an engaging freshness and vitality to each and every show. He is punctual, professional, has top quality gear and a can-do attitude you'll find easy to work with.
