Excellent Guitarist who played for Our Art Opening

John Pledger was a delight! He came early, and had everything he needed. Knew exactly how loud to play or soft at out Art Opening at Brenau University. He played a wonderful variety of classical and jazz for our event and had so many compliments by everyone who came to the opening! Thank you John and we will be contacting you again soon!
