About Blake Sweeney

Fantastic Singing Guitarist for classic vibes. I help make your event special. Adding atmosphere, soul and joy.
Singing guitarist

I am a lover of classic pop rock songs, these songs inspired me as a youngster to learn how to play the guitar. I like my performances to be authentic and genuinely from the heart. There are no gimicks or backing tracks just the power of a voice and and the guitar. The greatness of these songs bring us together, help us share common ground and enjoy ourselves. I believe what makes my act incredible is this shared experience, be it passive, relaxed and listening or active involved and up lifting. I think in my sets there is something for everyone to enjoy. I know all my songs by heart. Some acts use a phone to play a song and read the words and chords. I do not allowing to focus on the people at the event. I have nearly 20 years of experience as a professional musician. From busking to being a signed act. From weddings to cruise ships. I've played pretty much everywhere. I'm new to Encore and looking forward to providing you with the best quality at your event. I was brought up in the late nineties so my music is influenced by bands of that Era, Oasis, The Verve, Paul Weller, Crowded House, I am a huge Beatles Fan so I often play a fair few of those. Glamorous Indie Rock & Roll is all we need. ❤️

Blake played for my 50th birthday party celebration. He plays superb songs and kept everybody entertained without being to loud and overpowering. Blake gave a real atmosphere to proceedings.We would highly recommend his services. Blake played 2 x 45 minutes of brilliant acoustic songs by Pink Floyd, The Beatles Etc Great Voice and great sound.
