Derek Eynon – Solo Singer & Acoustic Guitarist

FIFTY YEARS 1975-2025

Looking for live music with heart, humour, and a touch of nostalgia?

I’m a solo singer and acoustic guitarist performing the old-fashioned way — no backing tracks, no loopers, no effects. Just voice, guitar, and a bit of foot tapping to keep things lively.

My repertoire is wide-ranging, leaning towards vintage classics with a few modern gems from the 2020s. I cover artists such as Elvis Presley, The Eagles, and Johnny Cash, alongside timeless singer-songwriter favourites.

The second set is where the party really gets going, with crowd-pleasers like:

Maggie May

Hotel California

These Boots Are Made for Walkin'

Stuck in the Middle with You

And of course, the obligatory Sweet Caroline

My aim is simple: create a fun, relaxed atmosphere and make sure everyone has a great night. I never fail to get the audience laughing — usually with me… but at me will do just fine!

If this sounds like a good fit for your venue or event, let’s talk.
