Guitarist recommendation for Minnesota wedding

Question:

Dear Rev. Tomkin,

Thank you for your wonderful wedding musician recommendations!  We're interested in a guitarist, but the guitarist you recommend on your website (Joel Shapira) is booked on our wedding day.  Do you have another possible recommendation?

Answer:

Dear JB,

While I've not worked with Bobby Stanton, he comes highly recommended as an outstanding Minnesota guitarist, and he does play at weddings.  He plays either classical guitar, or steel string, his website has audio clips, he lists some of recent gigs (wow!)...plus, he lists some of the famous people he's played with, including:
 

• James Taylor 
• Garrison Keillor 
• Del Shannon 
• The Shirelles 
• Bo Diddley!!!
• The Temptations  
  
• The Drifters
  
• The Shangralas
  
• The Platters 
• Donny Osmond
  
• Box Car Willie
  
• Charlie Daniels
  

Bobby's fee for weddings is $175 (a standard price, but an amazing one for an artist of this caliber), and I'd love if you'd use him - then I'd get to hear his wonderful music live!

I hope this helps!
