John did an amazing job playing for the patients at my Assisted Living Facility. He was engaging with them, played requests and was all around a great performer. His music was upbeat and pretty amazing! We would definitely have him return. Thank you!

Response from John Henry Johnson:
Thank you very much Barbara! I loved visiting Lewis Wines for your premiere and had a great time myself!
I couldn't have asked for a better person to play guitar at my moms Celebration of Life. From the second I booked John, he was all over recording a preview of the song we asked him to play and he was in communication with the singer to go over everything. He was on time and professional. I would highly recommend him to anyone!

Thank you so much, I was honored to be included in this very special event.
John Henry did the music for our outdoor wedding ceremony. He was professional, kept his gear organized and out of the way, and played the perfect music to set the tone. I had told him one or two songs as a must (like when I walked down the isle etc), and he created a playlist that really helped create the vibe we wanted. Very professional and great communication, would recommend to anyone looking for a musician for their wedding!
