10 out of 10 Recommended!

John was awesome from start to finish! He played for us at a company VIP event for about 50 people and he was a hit, really perfect for our evening. He was very communicative during the booking process, answered all of my questions, and had a pure excitement to work with us. We so appreciate you John! Especially for our last minute request and giving up your evening to be with us. We would be honored to work with you again.

Easy to work with!

John was very easy to work with- responsive to messages and accomodating, especially when I had issues booking through the website. He was prompt and polite, and I had nothing but good feedback from the event attendees. Thank you John, for making the planning of an event halfway across the country a little easier on me!

Wedding Singer/Guitarist

John played guitar and sang for our wedding reception and dinner! He was a great singer and musician and we really enjoyed having him. I had a special request which he absolutely nailed. We would hire him again or recommend him to anyone who is looking for live music for their wedding or event.

Amazing! Perfect!

John was absolutely fantastic! We had an intimate 50th birthday party in our home with about 30 guests. He showed up on time, got set up on his own, and started playing and played straight through for 3 hours. He covered everyone from the Eagles to The Lumineers to the Foo Fighters. His voice is fantastic, music was perfect, and it added a really special quality to the party. I loved him so much I am thinking of throwing another party just to hear him perform again. Highly recommend!

Booking information

Price range: $300 and up

Languages: English

Gig length: 60 - 180 minutes

What to expect

Great background music that they can ignore or fun engaging tunes that they can tap their foot, nod their head, and singalong with.

About

I do acoustic covers of modern and classic hits along with some not so well known songs sprinkled in for variety's sake. One man band with equipment for small venues (e.g. restaurants, mixers, etc), though an in-house system is preferred for best results and control by the staff.

Additional booking notes

Have small gig PA capabilities, prefer in-house
