Honoring Louis Armstrong at Christmas CD
Overview
"Satchmo Lives Again!" My name is John Redmon. And I've found so much joy in making unforgettable, musical memories over the past three decades at various events around the globe. I’m a recording artist, singing pianist and a Louis Armstrong Impressionist. I have appeared at small, intimate private parties for heart-warming singing telegrams to large gatherings of 2500 people or more for Mardi Gras festivals. No matter how small or large the engagement, it is my desire to make lasting and unforgettable musical memories for you.

October 28, 20225 stars, awesome time!
John performed at our Elementary school to help us celebrate National Principal's Month. He was kind, engaging, and professional. He has a beautiful voice and had nothing but smiles for our students. He kept up with any communication as we planned the event. I would recommend him again and again.

Denise...I’m still reliving that special moment with Aunt Theda. I’ve never met anyone who was over 100 years old. I’m adding this to my best birthdays ever list. Thank you for allowing me to share in this milestone.
