August 26, 2025We hired John to play at a local art festival. We were looking for someone to play something upbeat in the background for people to enjoy themselves. John created such a fun atmosphere playing smooth music that was upbeat. It was fun, without creating too much of an outdoor concert feel. John was wonderful to work with leading up to the event as well. He was communicative, prompt, and all around professional. I'll be recommending him to others within my organization for sure!

With a range between a full lively sound to a relaxing chill ambiance. John is a one-man show providing a full sound. Pleasing to the ear and interesting to the eye to watch John perform intricate solo arrangements of modern tunes and classic standards as well as his use of looping with his looping pedal; allowing him to sound like several musicians at once. John provides his own sound system, lights and stool. His set up is quick and non-invasive. John's set-up is so minimal and user friendly that he can perform just about anywhere (indoor/outdoor) adding a special touch to events without any inconvenience to the client.
