JG played for our 40th Anniversary party. We had an outdoor event and his music along with the great weather and our family and friends made an event that will be remembered a long time. He took time before our party to learn our wedding song so we could dance to it, and he also played a special song for our daughter and son in law who were celebrating their anniversary the day after ours. JG also included our grandchildren and other little kids in some of the songs. 2 of our grandchildren sang in the microphone while JG accompanied them on the guitar. All our guests commented on what a great singer and guitar player he was. He really added something special to our party!
Response from JG Lightborne:
Thanks so much for your kind comments Gail. It was really a fun event! I want to also thank both you and your husband for your very kind hospitality. Your grandchildren were really spectacular.
Everything we could have wanted and a step above!! Top notch entertainment for all ages.
When we planned our event, we weren't sure how it would be received by the public, as new and different isn't always terribly popular. However, by far the best decision we made in our planning was to line up Lightborne and Hill as our entertainment!
They were incredible!! They were complete professionals in the handling of all the business aspects of our arrangements and they were extremely personable, friendly and considerate, truly a joy to work with.
They arrived early, set up everything themselves, handled every aspect of their responsibilities with efficiency and professionalism.
And then there was the music...! Wow! Everyone, from our oldest guests (90+) to the toddlers in the room were thoroughly entertained. Their repertoire is incredible and for a Luau, their lighter sounds fit the bill perfectly. We could not have been happier!
Really spot-on covers of favorites like Neil Young, Grateful Dead, Pete Seeger and many more!
Perfect fit for a small venue and an absolutely smashing value for your entertainment dollars!

JG Lightborne has traveled extensively throughout North America as well as the North Atlantic performing his own brand of acoustic pop, folk and blues and throughout the 80’s was the featured performer at the famous “Pub On the Square” in St. George’s, Bermuda where he developed his signature beach party folk music. JG harnesses his vast experience and solid musicianship along with his legendary penchant for innovation and extrapolation to bring audiences a taste of the stuff that makes live music fun. Folks all around the Midwest have enjoyed JG’s one-man band at drinking establishments, restaurants, festivals, jamborees, corporate events, weddings and regional Craft Fairs.

JG will bring a professional sound reinforcement system and stage lighting equipment. He can present both live music as well as prerecorded music for a crowd up to around 200 people. He will need approx. 1 hour (depending upon the actual location) to set up equipment prior to the performance and about 45 minutes to tear everything down and pack it up. Standard 110V 20amp electric service is sufficient to power all of this equipment. If the performance is intended to be outside, some kind of platform or stage is highly recommended and a tent or awning of some kind is extremely appreciated.
