The Rockin Krolick was the perfect choice for my event. We had a mix of ages but he read the crowd perfectly and everyone thought the music was fantastic. Highly recommended. Thanks, JF!

Response from The Rockin Krolik:
Thank you so much Jenna! I'm grateful for the invite to perform. It was a great event to be part of! Amazing achievements by these young athletes and Darryl Sittler's speech was both inspiring and humourous! Thanks again!

JF truly impressed us with his stunning performance at our cocktail party last Sunday. He played an outstanding selection of songs that captivated everyone at the event. His skills on the guitar are amazing, and his musical abilities are truly exceptional. The atmosphere he created with his music was absolutely perfect, and everyone at the party had a wonderful time. Overall, we cannot recommend JF highly enough and we look forward to having him back at our future events.

Thank you very much Maria! Your new space and your guests created a warm vibe for your Coktail party and it was a delight to part of it. I very much enjoyed performing for everyone in such a great atmosphere. Wishing you the best of success with this amazing creative space!

I hired JF for my wife's 60th B Day at a pub. Prior to the event JF provided me with an extensive list / several pages of songs he plays. He picked a wide range to accommodate younger / older guests. His delivery on those songs and interaction with the crowd was first rate. The evening was a huge success and I have no hesitation being a reference for JF at future events. Graham W.

Thank you Graham!It was great to be a part of Christine's Bday celebration and perform for a lovely crowd!!

This is our second time booking the Rockin Krolik and he never disappoints. He arrived early and played late and our crowd of 40 loved him. Took requests all night long

JF performed for a group of 30+ for 2 hours. The music was great - he played what we wanted to hear and was very adaptable. He was also a pleasure to deal with - attentive, responsible etc. Would definitely recommend.

Thank you very much Patrick! It was a pleasure to be a part of your event!

We booked Rockin Krolik for our neighborhood party on Buckhorn Lake! He was absolutely fantastic. He provided a list of so gas before the event to choose from and showed up 30 minutes before the event to coordinate setup!
He asked about if their might be any issues with noise complaints with our neighbours before starting. So considerate!
His sound was excellent and he constantly interacted with the crowd asking for requests and provided just enough encouragement for people to sing along. By the end of the evening he asked if we wanted to play a little longer as everyone was having such a good time. Unfortunately it started to rain.
I woul strongly recommend Rockin Krolik for your event… he will be back next year for ours!!!

JF - Rockin' Krolik was incredible. He had a vast array of music from all genres that was able to suit any taste and we had a wide demographic. It was a work event - our first one since 2019 - and had millennial right through to near to boomers and it was fantastic! JF was very communicative right up until the event, took into account what the staff wanted to hear and was very accommodating. Sound was amazing - his voice is beautiful. Everyone loved the music and truly enjoyed listening through dinner and during the event. I highly recommend JF for your event/wedding you will not be disappointed.

The Rockin Krolik was perfect for our event, he was professional and arrived on time and played all of our favourites. Our event was outdoors and everyone raved about how amazing he was.
I would highly recommend this artist for your event!

Thank you so much, Anne and Chris, for having me over. What an awesome birthday party that was and a true pleasure to perform for an equally awesome crowd!! Happy 50-ish Birthday!! :):):)
JF performed at our Retirement Community for a community event in June.
He was accommodating with the music selection as our residents are over 80+.
He played the guitar and sang tunes that our residents and families love.
Was an awesome day- with an amazing performance.
Thank you JF!

Thank you very much Sarah! Kudos to you for selecting the songs :). Your event was super well organized and it was a real pleasure to perform for your residents and their families!

JF played for our Club on Father's Day. Beautiful weather and a busy patio. He played to the crowd. His music, voice and sound was outstanding! We look forward to having him play again soon!

Response from The Rockin Krolik:
Thank you Lisa! It was indeed a beautiful day and equally beautiful location to perform for the Club's father's day event. The crowd was great and I had a blast, thank you so much for having me over!

We hired JF for a cottage party we held the night before our wedding to welcome guests. We chose him based on other great reviews and his awesome set list (a lot of great late 90s and 2000s acoustic songs we loved - plus many others!). Not only was he professional and organized in all communication and planning leading up to the event, he was absolutely incredible at the event!!! Can't recommend him enough. He has such a wide range of songs, and has such a talent. A skilled guitarist and an incredible voice. Our group ranged in age from 25 - 70 (average age of 40) and everyone loved his performance. We kept asking him for an encore because our group kept wanting to sing along. Highly recommend JF for any events you have! We had about 80 people at our event, so recommend him for groups, but could also attest to the fact that he would be amazing for smaller gatherings and groups as well.

Thank you very much Michael ( and Kristin!), it was a great evening to be a part of! Happy retirement! All the best!

We were thrilled to have JF as part of our wedding celebration in May 2022. From the first time we were in contact, JF demonstrated professionalism, thoughtfulness and a desire to make our party a success. Although JF’s music selection is vast and varied, we asked if he would be able to play several different songs for our wedding entrance, exit and first dance. He graciously obliged, and did a terrific job with our requests. Our guests were delighted with the music and danced and sang along throughout the night. We received many positive comments about his work, and my sister-in-law booked JF soon after for my brother’s birthday party. JF has a great voice, excellent musicianship, and wonderful presence. He definitely contributed to a fantastic party and memorable event!

Maureen and Ron, thank you so much for having me. I'm very happy that you enjoyed the entertainment and also very thankful to have been a part of such a special event and celebration with your friends and family. All and only the very best to you both!

I cannot say enough good things about JF! My family hired him for our father’s memorial. He was quick to respond and able to accommodate changes in our event schedule. He offered a comprehensive list of songs and was happy to take some requests that weren’t on his list. On the day of the memorial, JF was well prepared and wonderful to work with. He is a very talented guitarist and singer. Our father loved all music, especially classic rock and JF was able to play every song beautifully. He truly made our father’s memorial such a special day. I would hire him again in a heartbeat for any event. Thank you JF!

JF came to perform at a birthday party for my family and friends. He was so flexible and accommodating, willing to change plans based on weather at the very last minute. JF got everyone dancing or singing along and I would highly recommend him and hire him again for my next event. Definitely 5 stars!

He is a great singer, charismatic and I'm so happy we hire him. Definitely recommend him to any body, so talented and such a nice person as well.

Thank you Jeff! It was a beautiful night, I thoroughly enjoyed performing for you and your guests...And the perfect way to wrap up the summer, thank you for having me over !
I am an art director at a non-profit organization that works with young adults with developmental disabilities. Last week we threw an annual art show, in the theme of 'The Beatles', and had a Woodstock style concert. The Rockin Krolik was extremely supportive and investive throughout the whole process. He was very accomodating in learning new songs for our concert and was very pleasant to work with. Everyone at our event loved hearing him play. He has an awesome voice and plays beautifully. We will definitely use his talents again for our future events.

Jean Is so talented. I had him perform at my husband’s 40th cocktail party in our backyard. He had a beautiful set up, a carpet, speakers, his own chair, super funky setup.
He sent me his repertoire of music to choose from and I selected songs. It was perfect. His voice, his spirit, his performance was jaw dropping. All the guests complimented him.
Thank you Jean!

JF is an entertainer through and through ! This incredibly talented Durham-based singer-guitarist met and exceeded expectations by providing a "surprise" entertainment experience at our friends 25th anniversary intimate cocktail event. JF's pocket play list is endless spanning many genres and eras. JF is a person of soul and his personality shines through while getting to know his audience. Definitely a musician and entertainer that many of us will book again. Thank you so much JF you are one in a million!!

Kudos to you for planning this surprise so well. Looking forward to performing for you, your friends and families again! All the best :) !

We were treated to a surprise performance on our 25th anniversary. JF strolled into the backyard dinner party and serenaded us for an hour. He has a wonderful voice and his acoustic guitar playing was a perfect accompaniment. Great songs choices that matched our evening! He was personable and engaging with warm conversation between songs. Highly recommend!

Thank you so much Jennifer! It was a real pleasure and an honour to be part of such a special event. Congratulations again and all the best to all 4 of you and your families :)

Today marks the first year anniversary of the Georgina Waterfront Harvest Run.
Ross Fattori and I, as race directors, would like express our heartfelt thanks for accepting to perform live at our large outdoor venue, on a windy day, and for having to relocate during your set because of a slight power issue.
We applaud your eagerness to handle all of that with a great big smile!
Your musical contribution and enthusiasm put smiles on the faces of hundreds of runners, vendors, volunteers and visitors and helped to make this a joyous and memorable day for everyone.
The feedback that we received was overwhelmingly positive.
Wishing you continued success in your musical journey!

Response from The Rockin Krolik:
Thank you very much Alarna (and the City of Pickering!), it was pleasure performing for your Summer Concert series!

JF is a wonderful musician. I found him singing in a pub once, and sought him out to book him for my private party. I've since booked him to play in the lounge I own - for the grand opening, no less! We have every intention of bringing him back soon. His variety of musical knowledge is en point and we love hearing him sing!

Response from The Rockin Krolik:
Thank you very much Kelly! Playing at the lounge was both an honour and a treat! Looking forward to being back!

It’s always a pleasure to have JF aka the Rockin Krolik visit and play at the cafe. Whether inside the cafe or outside on the porch, his incredible voice and guitar playing has kept many an audience member captivated. He comes with a large repertoire of familiar covers, but it’s his original songs about wisdom drawn from life and love that truly strikes a chord.
