Overview

I am an acoustic performer that prides himself on an extensive songlist, ability to take requests, adaptability to all crowds and a soulful voice (Chris Stapleton meets Johnny Resnick?). I can handle any vibe, type of event and interact with the crowd as necessary. Sometimes I'm just a nice background music and sometimes I am needed to be in your face and getting the crowd to sing along! Whatever it is, I'm your guy!

Thanks!

Incredible Performer

I can’t say enough great things about John! We booked him last-minute for a private party, and he absolutely blew us away. From the moment he arrived, he was professional, friendly, and completely attentive to the vibe we wanted for the evening.
His guitar playing was outstanding, and his vocals were just as impressive—smooth, soulful, and full of energy. He read the room perfectly, kept everyone engaged, and created the perfect atmosphere. So many of our guests came up to me asking where I found him and saying how much they loved his performance.
If you're looking for a talented musician who goes above and beyond, look no further. John turned what could have been a stressful, last-minute situation into an unforgettable night. Highly, highly recommended!

A True Professional – Perfect Music for Our Event

We hired Jon as a solo singing guitarist for our event this past weekend, and he was absolutely fantastic. His performance set the perfect tone for the afternoon: his talent, song selection, and energy truly brought the party to life. Professional, easy to work with, and incredibly talented. I highly recommend him for any event where great live music is a must.

Fantastic musician for my engagement proposal surprise

John was the perfect performer for my engagement proposal moment. He made the trek down to the beach and arranged a wonderful rendition of our chosen song. His constant communication was much appreciated and helped everything come together seamlessly. My fiance could not have been more happy! Thank you for making our moment magical ✨
