Overview
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.

*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!

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!

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 :)

Hi Emily,

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
