Bice did a great job entertaining us with his amazing guitar skills during our happy hour/dinner. He took a few song suggestions and created the perfect song list for our event. He did a nice job of communicating with me before the event and responded quickly to any questions I had. I would highly recommend Brice for such an event!

Brice played guitar before and during our wedding ceremony. Despite reaching out to him with very short notice, he was more than happy to play some of our favorite songs. He was professional, responsive, and very talented - multiple guests commented on what a beautiful job he did! Brice's music made our ceremony extra special, and we're so glad that he was a part of our wedding day.

Brice provided the perfect background music for New Bern's Plein Air Art Festival's VIP event. He was prompt with his arrival and set-up and played beautifully for our whole event. I appreciated his music choices and even though he was meant to be background, I saw where most could not help themselves but stop and enjoy his artistry during the event. I would highly recommend him.

Brice Hursey is an extremely talented guitarist and his playing is superb. He plays for churches, weddings, coffee houses, restaurants, and other special events. His style of fingerpicking, flatpicking & thumbpicking is versatile in the many different songs he plays so very well. His love for the Lord shows on his face and you can hear his heart in his playing. If you get a chance to hear him play, you will enjoy every minute!
