May 29, 2020Amazing and talented singer/ songwriter
John’s music was truly a beautiful gift during these challenging times. My wife said it was one of the best birthdays she has ever had! John was professional, easy to communicate with and a pleasure to work with. Perfect for weddings, birthday celebrations or special events.

May 19, 2020Soothing mellow dinner music
John provided a very intimate and enjoyable evening of beautiful soft non-intrusive music during our small dinner party. His voice was so smooth and on pitch the whole evening. We also loved when he surprised us with a few Italian opera songs as well.

John was amazing. Not only was he a great entertainer for our ceremony, he was a great person. He even took the time to learn new songs for our wedding. He was extremely professional from the start to the finish and we would recommend him to anyone. Awesome job!

July 18, 2016Absolutely Fantastic
First and foremost, above the fact that he's an unbelievably talented musician, John is an exceptional human being with a unique gift that transcends simple music ability. John's music has a way of turning any average or above average event into something truly memorable.
My wife and I had the incredible honor of having John sing at our wedding; both during the ceremony and after, for dinner/dessert. John's level of talent mixed with professionalism is likely unmatched. John doesn't need excessive directions or hand holding. As a driven/mindful musician, he knew what to play and when without coaching. John's song, "Hallelujah" brought everyone to tears during Communion at the ceremony.
If you have the opportunity to hire a musician for an anniversary/wedding/etc, please consider John. I would gladly discuss with anyone your concerns about hiring him. For record, I paid John in advance without hesitation because that's the type of person you're dealing with. I don't know what arrangements he would require, but I know he's excited to be able to transform your event into something of true beauty.
Thank you, sincerely John for not only being an outstanding musician but for being an even better person. Great, great, great, all the way.

June 11, 2016A Spectacular Evening
We worked with John for our wedding reception in February 2014. Early on he worked closely with us in discussing our wants and needs for the evening. Ending up with a mix of his own amazing music, other artists songs and a special song that he sang from me to my husband. Wow. It was just perfect. He definitely created the atmosphere for the evening - our friends and family still light up at the mention of his name and that night. He is an amazing talent that we are thrilled to have discovered and now to consider a friend.
