Jarred is a musical soloist for hire in Melbourne, VIC.
Somewhere north of 1500 solo acoustic gigs around Australia have given Jarred a settled reputation in Melbourne. The material sits in easy listening territory, U2, Crowded House, Pearl Jam, John Mayer and Snow Patrol among the regulars, which makes for a night people can talk over or listen to as the mood shifts. He turns up fully self contained with his own professional PA and stage lighting, plays background music through the breaks, and will take your own playlist through the system instead if you'd rather. The microphone is there for speeches. Weddings, corporate events, private parties and birthdays are the usual bookings.

Hey Jarred,
Thank you so much for playing at our wedding! I lost count of how many people came and told me how much they were enjoying your music!
Sorry I didn't get a chance to come have a chat. The whole night I was wishing I could spend more time listening to you play, but as the groom I kept getting pulled away. I guess that's to be expected. The songs I did hear were incredible! We'll have to try and get one of our friends to book you for their upcoming wedding ????
One more heartfelt thank you. Your music helped to make our wedding day perfect.

Five out of five stars!
"Jarred was as perfect as we could have hoped. He added a beautiful element to our wedding that just elevated the day. As much of a blur the day was, I distinctly remember standing upstairs with the photographer, pretending to put my jacket on over and over to get the perfect "getting ready" shot and I could hear Jarred start playing Jeff Buckley's hallelujah to entertain guests as they arrived in the gardens outside. It honestly brought a tear to my eyes and was probably the first thing that really helped it sink in that I was getting married that day.
Jarred was lovely to work with, he was very well presented, polite and incredibly talented.He even learned a custom song for our 'walk down the aisle' which was an absolutely beautiful rendition of the original song.
My wife and I were already sold on Jarred with his musical style and voice and figured if we didn't manage to book Jarred we wouldn't bother with a musician. In hindsight we thought to ourselves how glad we were to have booked him as the day just wouldn't have felt the same otherwise.
Our recommendation to others that might be on the fence is to make the booking! You wont regret it :)
He was great in organising the booking, we went back and forth many times trying to settle on the perfect plan for our day and he was very quick to reply and very accommodating to our changing plans."

Saturday went so quick and the photos took so much longer than expected so we only got to hear a handful of his songs.
The feedback from our friends and family was that he was fantastic and they loved him.
The interactions I had with jarred leadingUp to the event were super professional and polite. He even called the venue to confirm if it was still going ahead first, as he didn’t want to call me first incase it had been cancelled. He made sure to approach both myself and Rob to wish us congrats and let us he was leaving.
Super happy with our decision :)

Jarred was great, my friends are all way too noisy and busy talking so we couldn’t fully appreciate him!! I’ll be sure to keep you in mind for any other function though.

Jarred was great, super nice guy who entertained a very small crowd but this did not concern him at all.

Jarred was excellent. Called me in morning to confirm details and showed up before me and sorted himself out. He played great music and got my crowd up on their feet even though it was an early afternoon event. I would highly recommend Jarred for anyone wanting a great solo artist.
Please pass on my

Apologies for the delay in my response - I am just back from our honeymoon this week and am still catching up on emails. I was in contact with Jarred after the wedding to thank him for his professionalism and performance. Unfortunately, I never met Jarred and wasn't present during the times he played (prior to the wedding ceremony and while we were off having photos taken), but the feedback from our guests was that he was fabulous. I mentioned to Jarred that my husband loved his version of a particular INXS song, and he took the time to record a demo for me so that I could hear it too!
All in all it was a very easy experience work with both you and Jarred and everything went smoothly on the day.
My sincere thanks for everything.
5.0Alex · Nov 2017
Jarred was a very good recommendation! He was easy to work with, knowledgeable about using his PA for the speeches and happy to take guidance about the music/sound while he was playing.
Thank you

Jarred was fantastic! Everyone loved him, he just played in the back ground and really set the mood for the party. He is a great talent. We all had a great day, and hope he did too. I'd definitely recommend him to others. Thanks for pairing him up with us, we were wrapped.
5.0Andy · Mar 2017

5.0Jo · Dec 2016
All went very well thank you. Jarred did an amazing job!
We had to have a last minute change to the timings on the night and Jarred was very obliging with fitting in with the schedule.
