Hi, I’m Jim! I’ve been performing instrumental guitar for private events all over Florida for the past 15 years. I typically perform for Corporate functions, galas, wine/food tastings, weddings, and anniversary/birthday celebrations, etc. Whether your event is an intimate dinner at a beachfront home or a fun upbeat cocktail party for a corporate retreat for 300+, I look forward to performing music that adds a wonderful atmosphere to your unique event! In addition to the music that I play, you can also expect: -An experienced performer who is experienced in working with high end clientele. -A performer who is able to adapt to any situation, is extremely professional, on time, and responsive to questions and concerns. -The volume level is kept at a level where everyone can hear the music, but guests don’t have to raise their voices to hold a conversation. - Professional high quality sound system that is great for all numbers of guests (2-350) with a clean looking setup, minimal cables. -Included top of the line sennheiser wireless mic for toasts. -Lighting included if necessary (typically outdoors). -2 million dollar liability insurance policy (required at most venues) Jim Gabelbauer has performed for over 800 private events since 2008 at venues including the Four Seasons, Ritz Carlton, JW Marriott, Port Royal, and the Waldorf Astoria for clients such as Ferrari, Goldman Sachs, Leer Corporation, Arthrex and many others. If you are looking for live instrumental background music for your event, Jim can provide a classy vibe and atmosphere that makes your event a night to remember. Jim Gabelbauer has been performing guitar professionally since 2007. He enjoys performing many styles of music including jazz, blues, flamenco, classical, rock, and pop. His solo show combines these styles to create an atmosphere that is upbeat and engaging. He has performed for many types of events with various bands and musicians across the US. He is currently working to complete his BA in guitar performance at Berklee college of music. A note: Music is my life! This is my full time career; I practice and study this music for hours daily, it is my passion and life’s work. I am grateful to have the opportunity to play events like yours for a living. It is an honor, and greatly fulfilling to me! -Jim
