River's Reviews

5 out of 5

RIIVER is simply the best we could recommend! A very talented, professional and experienced musician. He is also a very nice person and always takes the time to listen to our needs for each event. It is always a pleasure to work with him. He pitched just right for our guest evening and terrace opening creating a great chilled vibe on a summer’s evening overlooking the city from our rooftop. We will definitely book him again!

Customer questions

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

I will always try to be as flexible as possible to ensure your event runs smoothly. In case some things change just let me know as soon as you know and we can find just the right solution.

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

Unfortunately I don't have the right equipment to provide such service.

How much time do you need to set up?

My gear is high quality yet very simple and so is my set up. Therefore it only takes me 10-15 minutes. I am always happy to arrive a bit earlier so we can talk through some of your wishes if needed.

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

I've got a big repertoire already but I am always more than happy to learn new songs so I warmly welcome song requests!

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes, absolutely! I have a portable PA system to amplify both the guitar and the vocals.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

It's definitely possible that I already know the song. If it is a specific song you've already got in mind you can let me know ahead of time and I am happy to learn it for you.
