About Tomas
A sound built on two continents
Tomas is a Latin guitarist whose playing draws on the folk and classical traditions of Spain and South America, reshaped into a sound that is entirely his own. Expect soulful melodies, layered harmonies, and rhythms that pull guests in without ever overpowering the conversation in the room.
He holds regular residencies at the St. Regis, Ritz-Carlton, and Peninsula hotels in Manhattan, three addresses that define the standard for live music in New York City. His concert credits stretch from the International Festival of the Guitar in Lima, Peru to the Brooklyn Museum, Merkin Hall, Trinity Church, and NJPAC.
That range translates directly to private events. Tomas is equally at home providing elegant background music for a cocktail hour and anchoring a ceremony with a carefully chosen processional. He reads the room and adapts his playing to match the energy of the moment, which is exactly why he is one of the most requested guitarists in the Nicholson Events roster.
How he performs
Six ways to bring Tomas into your event
Solo Latin Guitar
The classic format: Tomas alone with his guitar, filling a room with sound that is warm, precise, and impossible to ignore. Works beautifully as background or as a featured performance.
Cocktail Hour Background Music
Soulful melodies and rhythmic undercurrents that pull guests in without overpowering the conversation. A seamless acoustic presence that sets the tone from the first arrival.
Ceremony and Reception
From the processional through the first dance, Tomas adapts his repertoire to match every emotional beat of the event. Classical, contemporary Latin, or a custom mix.
Duo with Vocalist or Percussionist
Add a second voice or a percussionist and the set gains depth and energy. A natural upgrade for receptions, milestone celebrations, or any event that wants a fuller sound.
Grand Entrance
A live acoustic guitar underscore transforms a grand entrance into a cinematic moment. Tomas knows how to build and release that tension on cue.
Corporate Event Background
Sophisticated, conversation-friendly Latin guitar that elevates a lobby, ballroom, or rooftop reception without demanding attention from the room.
