Hand chosen by Paul Simon for private songwriting sessions in Boston MA, Dylan earned a degree in professional music from Berklee College of Music, where he studied under some of the best musicians in the world, including John Mayer's guitar teacher and James Taylor's talented brother, Livingston. After graduating he performed two coast to coast tours across the U.S. and is a full time live acoustic performer, songwriter and film composer.
Dylan provides luxury acoustic entertainment; a perfect fit when you want a highly skilled musician who is zero stress to deal with. He will allow your guests to set the tone and create a performance to match. Dylan plays a mix of easy listening and uptempo popular music from the 60's to today. He combines his skill sets to seamlessly fit the event: acoustic instrumental guitar during dinner, singing and vocals for a cocktail hour, with added live looping for an intriguing and modern live performance. He will read your crowd, the energy and the mood of the event and will curate his set list to fit in according to what you envision while bringing his 14 years of experience and artistry; always a perfect balance of relaxing and intriguing. Wells Fargo, Levis, Pelican Hill, Four Seasons, Montage, Fashion Island and Terrenea are just a few of his past clients.
Dylan offers the option for the inclusion of song menus - custom designed classy walnut menus that are set up at different tables. This allows your guests to be included in the performance and request their favorite song choices to enjoy. You can see an example of these menu books in the photos below.
Client Testimonials
“He far exceeded our expectations of finding someone online. He is a hidden treasure”
- Kelly C. (Event Planner)
"Dylan was THE BIGGEST HIT of my party! All night long and well after the event, my guests kept asking how I found him and asking for his social media links to follow him. Before the event, he sent me an email asking about the event theme, a song list and dress attire. As a wardrobe stylist, I can say his outfit was completely on point! And he played all the songs I requested from his song list. The guests loved him so much, he actually stayed for additional time. My guests also loved chatting with him during his breaks. He was super charismatic and just overall a truly talented entertainer. I would 100% book him again"
- Tania P. (Van Nuys, CA)
