John Saved our Mother's Day!

I called John the day before mothers day and asked him to go to my mothers house and sing her happy birthdy and You make me feel so young. Her birthday falls on Mothers Day. John Said yes immediately, showed up in a tux and convertible with music and danced and sang to her. Thanks for saving mother's day John!

Venue size large or small. Well Done.

Rainy day required us to move inside. John adjusted easily and was terrific. His choice of songs for a 60th wedding anniversary was perfect. Everyone was smiling. Well done.

What to Expect

Whether it is a dinner show, quiet background singing, or a full blown "Rat Pack " Vegas show. John is the one to provide top notch entertainement.
With an average of 20 songs in an hour, John will tailor the songs to your specifications.
John emulates, never imitates the legendary songs of the 20th century. Most requested is the Rat Pack, but offering more classic songs from Such as Neil Diamond, Willie Nelson, Patsy Cline, Elvis, Fats Domino. The list is endless.
The music comes first in any of Johns performances with a patter that guarantees some laughs and evokes the by gone era of a true lounge act.
"Come Smile with Me" a songfest that ran for two and a half years at a popular Sarasota Nightspot.
