George Sawyn, Guitarist

Presenting...

    The perfect background music for your corporate event, wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, or brunch - solo acoustic guitar by George Sawyn.

    The instrument is the traditional classical guitar, gently amplified to cover a room and provide musical atmosphere, without interfering with conversation.

    The music covers a wide variety, diverse and yet familiar. It draws from the classical composers such as Bach, Vivaldi, and Dvorak; the "Standards" as sung by Frank Sinatra, Nat Cole, Ella Fitzgerald, and Tony Bennett; and popular songs of the 60s, 70s, and 80s by such stars as Billy Joel, The Beatles, James Taylor, Joni Mitchell, and George Benson. In addition, special requests from you or your guests are welcome.

    The performer is a 36-year veteran of the Chicago music scene, guitarist George Sawyn. Over the years, George has worked with many of Chicago's finest musicians and bands, playing many styles of music including rock, disco, country, jazz, and classical, and has acquired a wealth of musical repertoire and experience. But his specialty is the solo acoustic guitar: soft, gentle, unobtrusive.
