Johnny Fritz’s music ranges from classic rock to rock-country to easy listening. His formative years were the 1970s & 1980s, with early influences such as The Beatles, Elton John, The Eagles, Bob Seger, John Mellencamp & Blue Rodeo. Drawing on years of personal experience, his songs are most often about typical situations that people encounter as they go about their lives.
Johnny released his 1st album in April 2015, entitled "No End in Sight". He headed back to the studio & finished his 2nd album, "Alone In A Crowd", in October of 2017. Johnny is now recording album #3!!
Johnny also covers an extensive repertoire of songs from the 70s, 80s and beyond - see his SET LIST for details.
Johnny Fritz was amazing the day of my wedding. He showed up an hour early to set up as he had all his own equipment and a great looking tent he played in. He sounded amazing and played all my favourites as everybody complimented how good the music was…I would definitely rebooked Johnny for my next event and will recommend him to my friends. Strongly recommend to book Johnny for your event.
Response from Johnny Fritz:
Thanks so much Sean & Mari !,
Your words are "music to my ears". :) What a pleasure to play at your wedding.
It was a beautiful day and everyone was incredibly warm, welcoming & engaging.
Here's hoping to see you again in the future.
Sincerely, Johnny :)
*Disclaimer*
You might think from this glowing review that I knew John personally, but in fact, I only met him through GigSalad about 3 weeks before my event. He is just that worthy of this review :)
My fiance and I were on the hunt for a musician for our engagement party and found John through this site. He was great to communicate with, really friendly and professional. His set list has great variety but he also kindly volunteered to learn some Frankie Valli covers to perform as he is our favourite artist. Talk about going above and beyond!
John also took it upon himself to scout out our venue a few days before the event to make sure he had everything he needed to put on a great show. He was so prepared and easy to work with!
We also weren't sure if we would want more than 3 hours of music, which is what we booked. John kindly offered to stay for an additional hour or two if we didn't want the party to stop. He was so accommodating and well worth the money!
When I met John, day of, he was friendly and engaging. He gifted my fiance and I a bottle of wine, a signed poster and two of his albums as I'd mentioned I enjoyed his original music. What a guy!
All of our guests really enjoyed him. His passion and positive energy really shines through in his performance. John, you are a gem, and Patrick and I hope to have the pleasure of having you at one of our events in the future!
Response from Johnny Fritz:
Hello Claire & Patrick,
Thank you so much for the wonderful review. It was such a pleasure to meet you, your family & friends.
I enjoyed the entire experience, form initial discussions to a super fun evening with you and your guests!
My best wishes to you both and I certainly hope our paths will cross again in the future.
Sincerely, John :)

Johnny played at my husband’s 60th birthday party. Wow what a night. His music was excellent and he was so engaging. We wanted him to play into the night as we were enjoying him so much. I found him in GigSalad and was nervous to hire someone I didn’t know but in our initial communications he was kind and expressed genuine interest in playing for us. I will definitely hire him again for future functions. Thanks Johnny!
Response from Johnny Fritz:
Thanks Lynda! It was my pleasure (& honour) to play at your party for Colin's 60th. What a great place and terrific group of people. When I originally decided to venture out to play music, a night like last night was exactly the experience I was hoping for (& then some!). Hope to see you again in the future.
John :)

We had a small family party and invited Johnny. He was awesome! Well played music, long set list, very easy to work with, amazing value, and super personable. Johnny exceeded our expectations and really made the event special. We all HIGHLY recommend him.
Response from Johnny Fritz:
Hi Emily,
Thanks so much for the great review!! I really appreciate you taking the time to provide it and so enjoyed meeting you and your family.
Would you mind if I used your review on my website/social media profile as a testimonial?
If you would prefer I keep it anonymous, or just use "Emily H", I understand.
Thanks again!, John
I would give Johnny 6 stars if I could! A pure pleasure to work with and a fantastic talent! Our guests are still raving about him!
Response from Johnny Fritz:
Thank you so much Cathy. Your comments just made my month! John :)
