Listen to Gary LIVE on Adam Montiel's UP + ADAM Podcast
“Gary is a savant, genius guitarist. He plays an eight-string hybrid guitar, it's a very rare thing… if you're a winery listening and you’re trying to figure out some new music, some new names to get in when you're trying to bring people to the tasting room, this dude is it!”

"Wooten's setup, which routes the top five strings to a guitar channel and the bottom three to a bass amp, allows him to play bass and lead guitar simultaneously - an innovation virtually unheard of in their genre"

REVIEWS
“5 Stars -
Gary's playing was lovely. He is a professional and very talented. Perfect for our event. I would love to hire him again.”
— Pamela Pickering · Farm Supply Company
"Gary is a crowd favorite here at Wolff Vineyards. Friendly and professional, he brings a captivating stage presence. With his virtuosic talent and unique 8-string guitar paired with foot percussion, you'd swear you were hearing a full trio rather than a solo musician."
— Clint Grubb· Wolff Vineyards
“Professional, accommodating, and easy to work with - Gary's professionalism and flexibility made our wedding day a lot easier. We asked for song requests and all of these rules to follow that our beach permit required. He listened and was so supportive. He was able to play perfectly under pressure after a medical emergency happened before our wedding. He is so nice and respectful. I highly recommend his services.”
— Sarah and Ryan · Wedding

“Gary did an exceptional job at our family reunion birthday party. Booking was easy and his communication was prompt and assuring about all the details beforehand. Along with giving us a great performance, he delighted our birthday boy by learning a pretty difficult favorite song. He helped make our backyard party a memorable event for all who came!”
— Ed K · Private Party
“Gary was perfect for our party. He delivered a high-quality performance to enhance the occasion with the right volume and mood for people to connect and converse. His instrument was not only interesting to look at, but also enabled him to have such a full sound. I got so many glowing compliments about the music, I certainly recommend him to others.”
