Based out in San Diego, California, Horacio Jones is a driven and passionate classical guitarist. Horacio first approached his beloved 6-strings instrument at age 13: it didn’t take long for guitar playing to become a serious affair, defining his life and education. Later, he graduated from the University of North Texas in 1997 with a Bachelor of Music degree in Music Composition with a particular focus on Classical Guitar.
Currently Horacio performs within a wide variety of settings; from wedding celebrations and private parties to corporate events, fairs and more! His sound is timeless, classy and understated, showcasing a particular focus on Latin American classical guitar, but not only. From folk to flamenco, salsa and even contemporary pop hits and evergreens, anything goes! Horacio’s playing is perfectly suitable for all types of event and his services as a performer include backline (amplification, microphones) in order to offer even more flexibility and options.
