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.

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!

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.

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!

John was punctual, professional, had a great song list, and put on a really great show in our taproom! It was a really wonderful experience.
10/10 would absolutely book him again.

John was perfect for our event. We had a busy room of vendors networking and mingling. John was prompt and polite, and his music choices were exactly what we wanted. He made for a great vibe during our open house and I would highly recommend him. Not only was he easy to work with, he has a great voice and musical talent, all of our guests mentioned how awesome it was to have him there.

John was wonderful. Very professional, prompt in all communications, and sounded great! His setlist fit our party perfectly and our guests loved him. He took time to ask what music we liked and made sure it was part of his setlist. We would definitely recommend!

Let me start by saying we booked John just 2.5 weeks before our wedding... We had booked another singer and guitarist (outside of GigSalad) to play a specific song during our ceremony, and when they told us that they could no longer make it, we were obviously pretty freaked out by the idea of finding their replacement in such short time. After posting the request on GigSalad, I think John responded within an hour, stating he was available and could cover the song the way we wanted it. After discussing the details a little further and watching some of his videos, we booked him to play the ceremony AND our cocktail hour, but I'd be lying if I said I was fully confident that everything would go well with only 2 weeks to go...
John showed up more then prepared. Without a rehearsal, John nailed the song and tricky timing during our ceremony, played a great set list during our cocktail hour, and was so polite and professional throughout the entire experience. With all that, I have no hesitation giving John my full recommendation for a wedding, or any event really. Thanks again, John; that was the best day of our lives and you were a huge part of its success!

John Blythe played for 4 hours at our Open House party. He is talented and flexible. He learned several of our favorite oldies. As the outdoor weather improved, he moved his equipment outdoors. Everyone enjoyed his singing and playing. We highly recommend John Blythe.

John exceeded our expectations for our annual holiday party! He is a great musician/singer. Not only did the adults enjoy all his music- but, he went above and beyond socializing with the children and making them feel special. Two thumbs up!

Booking Info
Price Range: $300 and up
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
