Eduardo is a talented performer. His guitar playing at our Happy Hour Paws with Purpose fundraising event in Tucson, AZ added to the wonderful atmosphere of the St Philips Plaza. He is a true talent and a joy to work with. I definitely recommend him highly for any of your upcoming events.

I just wanted to say that Eduardo did a magnificent job at our wedding which was back in March. Couldn’t remember if I’d actually posted this review but I think he merits at least five stars if not more!

Eduardo was a dream to work with. He was timely in his communication, on time for the event, and played excellently. Will definitely use him again when we are in Tucson.

Artistic Listening Room

This listening room is a broader archive of public performances, improvisations, compositions, family music, and teaching videos. This is my artistic repertoire, and it may differ from the event music samples above, which are the best reference if you are planning live event music.

Looking for event samples?

If you are planning a wedding, corporate event, or private party, these four samples - not the listening room below - are the right reference for the live music I will tailor to your occasion. Everything else in this room is my broader artistic repertoire, which is different from what I perform at events.
