LATIN AND CONTEMPORARY GUITARIST
SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA


BACKGROUND:


I perform primarily as a solo guitarist, leaning stylistically towards Latin based music as well as modern contemporary and classic pop/rock traditional classical guitar and light jazz. I have had an extremely vast range of experience, performing for corporate events, weddings, wineries, musical theater and recording projects throughout the Bay Area and Wine Country in addition to having toured the US, Canada, Europe, Brazil and The South Pacific.

STYLE DESCRIPTION:


My overall sound might be compared to that of The Gypsy Kings, Santana and Paco De Lucia. My play list can also include several current songs by pop artists such as Sabrina Carpenter, Billie Eilish, Post Malone, Dua Lipa, Ed Sheeran and Sza as well as classic pop and rock songs from the 60's through the 90's by such artists as The Beatles, The Eagles, Van Morrison, Elton John, Nirvana, Stone Temple Pilots, The Temptations and Steely Dan.

I hope that after you have taken a moment to listen to my music that you like what you hear and that you will consider having me perform for your event!

Thank you so much - Have a great day!

Regards,

Tom Duarte
