Highly, highly recommend Greg! He came to our assisted living community and performed two shows for us. The residents adored him! ! He is extremely professional, kind, and is great with adapting the performance to what best suits the crowd. You won't regret hiring him!! More...

I have booked Greg Oliveras numerous times in a venue where we have many other excellent musicians. He stands out consistently and “leaves them wanting more” every time. He reads a crowd and knows how to build and play for the situation and audience. In particular he rocks some of the all-time classics that rouse a room, especially Michael Jackson’s “Billie Jean”. He will escalate to a pounding crescendo, and then dial it down for a more intimate moment, and then run things up again when the timing is right. We look forward to every gig and the buzz circulates heavily in the days before he arrives. You could not ask for more or want more!!! More...

Greg is an extraordinary performer! I've had the pleasure of seeing him live on multiple occasions and he never disappoints. His professionalism is exactly what you'd expect from a Nashville musician, but what sets Greg apart from the rest is the feel-good energy he brings to his performance along with his excellent song choices. Greg can effortlessly keep a crowd entertained as they'll be tempted to sing along to every favorite throwback song! More...
What do you love most about your job?
The two things I love most about my job: 1) It creates joy. Music has a beautiful way of bringing out joy in most people, and I've found it incredibly gratifying to be surrounded by that at every gig. It lifts me up! 2) It's what I feel like I was born to do. I'm incredibly grateful to have found a "calling" relatively early in life, and I plan to do it until my hands/ voice stop working!
Why should our clients choose you?
My clients have told me that the below set me apart:
1 - My energy. I always make sure it matches what you're seeking for your event. If you want headline entertainment, I'll keep the audience engaged. If you want light background music to create a more relaxed ambience, I'll keep the volume at the right level to enable easy conversation among your event's attendees.
2 - My song selection. I primarily play cover songs, and I tend to choose songs/ arrangements that are likely to make audience members say "I LOVE this song" or "Wow, I haven't heard that one in ages" or "I've never heard anyone play this song that way".
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
While I always recommend an in-person experience for live music, I am able to provide services in remote settings as well. This would function like any regular Zoom/ Teams/ Google meeting. I just enhance my audio setup to make sure it sounds a bit more like a live performance (e.g. using a professional microphone instead of a laptop microphone) for the audience.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
I did remote performances to keep my audiences safe during the pandemic, but I always recommend in-person experiences for live music.
