The act
Dennis Comino suits couples who want one musician to shift from laid back acoustic music into upbeat country or rock. He sings with acoustic guitar and uses a stompbox for rhythm, bringing a direct pulse beneath his voice. His wedding repertoire crosses many eras and genres, with both familiar covers and Dennis's own compositions available within a set. A powerful voice, skilled guitar work and energetic stage presence are the qualities emphasised in his performance. This is a strong fit for a day that needs one acoustic performer capable of changing pace as the room changes.

Good to know
What to expect
Acoustic guitar with a stompbox under it for the beat, which is why one person sounds like more than one. Dennis Comino's repertoire covers a lot of decades and a lot of genres, so the set can be chilled and laid back through the afternoon, then turn country, then go properly high energy rock later on. Tell him which end of that you want. He normally takes a 15 minute break each hour, so plan your speeches around that and everybody wins.
On the day
About two metres square of flat ground with a single power outlet is ideal, and he supplies all his own equipment. No power at the site? He can run off a battery powered amplifier instead. For outdoor bookings, shade or a gazebo makes a real difference in serious heat, and it's worth having an undercover backup ready if rain looks likely, since wet weather and electrical gear don't mix.
Performance options
Dennis works out what a booking will cost from the shape of the event, so the more you can tell him up front the better. Handy things to include: the mood you're after, whether that's a quiet afternoon feel, something upbeat, country or full rock. The date and the hours you want covered. What the occasion actually is, a festival, a corporate night, a birthday or another celebration. Roughly how many people will be there. And where the venue is, plus anything awkward about getting gear into it.
