March 31, 2023Great singer/musician
John has a great voice and always very pleasant. He has a unique style and he’s very professional. He cares about the venue and promotes it as well. He played in my establishment in Mexico for a period of 6 weeks and even stepped in last minute to cover when I had a cancellation. You won’t be disappointed having John play at your event. We look forward to having him play again in the future.

What to expect
I am a friendly, professional Country Musician incorporating a large repertoire of popular songs. I have been told multiple times over the years that I have a sound similar to Willie Nelson (I'll leave that for you to decide). I enjoy interacting with attendees and promoting the venue. I take a 15 minute break during each one hour set in order to interact on a personal level with attendees and refresh.
About
Songwriter / Singer of Country Western, Variety & Spanish Ranchero cover songs
One of my first bands and attempt at a musical career included guitarist Gary Hooker, Brad Paisley's long time side man. Gary and I played in a band called "The Coalition" in Clewiston Florida. After that various groups which included Tim Smith currently the Lead singer in Florida's "Buckshot SWFL". Eventually my career (s) would take a different path.

OTR Truck driver, retired airline captain
Self produced the motorcycle adventure series "Burro Has 3 Wheels" titles include; Mexico Highways, Central America, Colombia Ecuador, Peru Chile Argentina, Alaska Prudhoe Bay Highway, Alaska to Labrador Highway, Newfoundland to Florida Highway).
Additional booking notes
I utilize pre-planned set lists to keep the music flowing (about 10 seconds between each song. Sets are one hour long with a 15 minute break included. Each set has approximately 14 songs. I am always happy to work in song requests on the spot. Clients can use my pre-planned set list or may customize the set lists from a choice of over 400 songs and 200 popular artists. Should a song not listed be requested I will do my best to have it ready to be performed at the venue if given enough lead time.
Some clients want the music hopping from the very beginning, others want the first set to start mellow so folks can visit. Clients can specify exactly how they want the event to unfold.
Technical
1. I prefer at least one normal household electrical receptacle close to the area where the performance stage area is located. However I can perform utilizing battery power if need be (+3 hours) though I prefer access to wired electricity.
2. I bring my own set of colored stage lights for indoors or evening out of doors performances. If additional or specialized lightings are required that is up to the venue organizer.
3,. A dry area is required. If the venue is outside and no stage cover is provided I bring a pop-up canopy to protect from sun or the possibility rain.
