We contacted John last minute (very last minute) and he came through for us BIG time! He was amazing and loved by the group. He was super respectful for our wishes and really helped by providing the perfect songs to bring the holiday cheer we desired. Thanks a million and we can't wait to place our next booking!

On short notice, John came out and performed at our harvest party. He entertained our guests with background music as well as singing, which was perfect for our day. Thanks again, John!

What to Expect
I try to provide the highest level of customer service....maintaining contact with the client from initial contact to follow up after the event.....No Surprises!!!
My show is Your Show!! You tell me what you prefer in song choice, volume levels, audience participation, acting as emcee, you name it.....
I play the highest quality gear for the best sound production. Gibson guitars and Bose and Marshall sound equipment are some of the finest available.
The pro sound, pro gear, pro attitude makes for a very pleasant entertainment experience.
My vocals have been categorized as that of a 'smooth crooner'....but I am able to get as 'hard' as I need to depending on the song.
Bottom line: I love to play and sing and I've been told that it shows.
About
I got my first taste of performing music at church when I was growing up...I sang in choir mostly.
Then in Junior High and High School I made the performing choirs and tried out and made the cast for several High School Musical productions as well as student productions at church.
Then, in college I started playing solo and ensemble gigs at various events.
So I have been playing and singing, entertaining or leading worship for 20+ years.
As they say..."it is my passion."
Additional Booking Notes
Since I am a solo guitar and vocals show, I don't require a lot of space in which to set up.
If I have 6' x 6', that is generally all I need for sound gear, mic stand, music stand, etc...
(I usually have about 4' x 4' in some places where I play... restaurants, for example.)
The most in extra equipment I have needed at a recent show was an extension cord, as the plug I was next to did not operate.
That's about it...pretty simple!
