July 16, 2020John performed for us at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington, D.C. John was Awesome! I could not have asked for a better choice. John was very professional, polite, on time, and played beautifully for our event. Many of the guests came up to me during and afterwards and expressed how they enjoyed John’s playing and how it added so much to the evening. I would highly recommend John for any occasion.
