Always an engaging event!

Mr. J brings such a positive vibe and exciting energy to events, the families that attend are always so engaged as they sing and dance along to the music! Many adults and children get up and dance around the room throughout Mr. J's performance. A very enjoyable event for all. There is such a good variety of upbeat and calm songs, something for everyone who comes!

Hired as: Acoustic Band, Singing Guitarist
