Variety of styles, arrangements, and configurations: solo guitar with chord melodies in Jazz, Contemporary, and Classic Rock; vocals with guitar and/or piano accompaniment in numerous styles; multi-instrumentalist on guitar, bass, keyboards/piano, flute, and voice
I must admit, spending the money was a bit nerve racking to me at first. HOWEVER, Amanda went above and beyond as a professional and as a person. To the point of we feel she was part of the family. Sincere, professional and worth way more then the money she earned. If your looking for a professional musician AND would like a person with a heart and compassion, Amanda is DEFINITELY the person you need.
Amanda was a pleasure to work with. Played music that fit our venue and was super accommodating.
She was prompt, and very good at communicating with us prior to the event.
Thanks for your work Amanda!
Response from Amanda B Johnson:
Thank you, Scott! Your support throughout the performance and the great people you work with made it super-easy!
I hired Amanda for a themed event, "Arabian Nights". She was AMAZING playing the banjitar and friendly with the guest. I definitely recommend her 100%!

As a professional performer, you can expect Amanda to show up with plenty of time to set up, take care of any technical difficulties, and be mindful of non-invasive set-up at any type of event. She is engaging and entertaining with crowd banter yet tasteful and tactful. Being well-versed in numerous styles means that audience requests are likely to be fulfilled. Amanda keeps volume levels reasonable for the gig and knows when it is appropriate to act as ambiance or get the crowd on the dance floor. You get a consummate professional that is flexible enough to adapt to whatever the gig needs!
