August 17, 2026Amazing for 2026 Wedding!
Working with Gabe was a great experience from start to finish. We hired him to play during our cocktail hour/part of our wedding reception. From initially hiring him, requesting custom songs, adjusting things along the way, and even flexibility the day of the wedding, Gabe was easy to work with. Not only was he an absolute hit at the wedding and amazingly talented all around, he was very communicative and willing to emcee for much of the evening as well. We had no need for a DJ while he was playing. I would recommend him to anyone looking for an acoustic musician for their wedding!!

March 10, 2026Crowd favorite every year!
Gabe is such a gem. He's always fun and easy to work with. We bring him back year after year for Bauman's Farm & Garden events! Not only is he crazy talented, but he's also personable with everyone. Every year we get people coming back to the farm for his performances alone, and it makes sense. As long as he'll have us, we'll happily hire Gabe again and again.

February 12, 2026Music Magic
I recently heard Gabriel John at a local brewery here in Lincoln City, Beachcrest Brewing. His smooth voice and easy banter had the audience not only enjoying but fully engaged. Kids were dancing, Grandpa’s were smiling and Mama’s were singing along. He seemed to read the audience and played a wide variety of music from soft rock to country and some well known oldies. When he sprinkled in some original songs the crowd was entranced. Can’t wait to hear him again.
