About Marcel

Your favorite upbeat acoustic hits from the 60s, 70s, 80, 90s/00s+ with volume control you'll appreciate, live crowd requests, and Bose PA
Singing guitarist
Marietta

I perform solo acoustic music across the Greater Atlanta area, specializing in corporate mixers, private parties, country clubs, and lively patio residencies. Over the years, I have played countless events, and my main focus is always simple: make sure everyone has a great time while keeping the vibe fun, engaging, and professional. My song list covers more than 450 recognizable hits from the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, and 2000s. I lean into the classic rock, 90s alternative, and pop sing-alongs that people actually know and want to hear. Instead of locking into a stiff, predetermined set, I invite guests to pull up my full digital catalog on their phones and send up requests live throughout the performance. It keeps the room connected and makes every show feel unique to the crowd in front of me. One thing my clients constantly point out is how strictly I manage my sound levels. I perform using a compact, professional Bose sound system that delivers clear, rich tone without dominating the room. Whether you are hosting an outdoor courtyard gathering or an indoor cocktail hour, you get great live music while your guests can easily network, talk, and order drinks without shouting over the guitar. I keep booking and logistics completely stress-free. Every show is self-contained: I supply all the sound gear, handle prompt setup and pack-down, and always keep a wireless microphone ready for your toasts, awards, or company announcements. If you are looking for a bigger rhythmic drive to kick up the energy, I also offer my duo Echoes & Rhythm, adding live drums and percussion alongside acoustic guitar and vocals. If you want dependable communication, great songs, and live music dialed in for your specific space, I would love to play for your next event.

Customer questions

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

No problem, just reach out as early as you can. Minor adjustments like shifting your start or end time are usually straightforward to accommodate as long as my schedule permits. For date changes, deposits can be applied once to a new mutually available date within six months. Overtime on site is billed at $150/hour in 30-minute increments.

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

Yes, absolutely. Just let me know in advance what genres or decades you prefer, and I can run background music through my Bose system before I begin. I rarely take breaks once I get going, but if a quick pause serves the event flow, I keep curated playlist audio running so the room stays lively.

How much time do you need to set up?

I typically need only 20 to 25 minutes. My Bose PA system is compact, self-contained, and quick to soundcheck. I generally arrive an hour before showtime to load in and ensure everything is dialed in and ready well before your guests walk through the door.

Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?

Definitely. I have an active catalog of over 450 recognizable hits spanning the 60s through 2000s. Feel free to contact me for the full list ahead of time to pick out your must-plays, or share the catalog with guests so they can browse and submit live requests right from their phones.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes, my setup is completely self-contained. I bring a premium Bose PA system and a wireless mic for your announcements. All I need from the venue is access to a standard electrical outlet within 25 feet. For outdoor events, please let me know if covered shelter is provided; if not, I can bring my own canopy.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

It depends on the song and the timeline. If it is a tune I am already somewhat familiar with and we have enough lead time before your event, I am more than happy to learn it for a special moment. Reach out with your title ideas early and we can discuss what is doable.
