John Pruitt plays magic

I hired John to perform for a small gathering. The idea was that he would play soft music, making it comfortable to either chat with friends or sit and listen to him. He did an amazing job, turning the gathering into a memorable event. I heartily recommend John to anyone who is looking for a superior musical experience!

About

John's musical journey began with a desire to play drums. Having found joy in pounding rhythms on anything available, young Johnny asked for a drum set. His mother suggested a guitar instead, no doubt a lesser evil in her mind. Santa left a $50 guitar under the tree in 1964, and John has been playing ever since.

While juggling career and family, John played mostly for the therapeutic value of making music. His most frequent gig was entertaining his two children at bath time. You can imagine where he sat for these performances.

After retirement, John found a niche playing instrumental background music at events, coffeehouses and restaurants. John likes to share his own creations and his unique arrangements of your favorite tunes. His three hour playlist ranges from James Taylor to Stone Temple Pilots, from Indigo Girls to PInk Floyd, from (link hidden)ie to the Beatles. See the complete set list on the Gallery page.

Additional booking notes

For loud large room events, John uses two synchronized amps strategically placed to fill the room with music without being too loud. This configuration requires set up an hour before the event.

Otherwise, John needs to set up 30 minutes before the event.
