John Martinez - Guitarist Extrordinaire

John was very easy to get ahold of to coordinate for our event and very fairly priced. We enjoyed having him at our event and his ability to be flexible as we had to change locations due to weather. I would highly recommend John at your next corporate event!

John provided music (guitar and singing) for our son's rehearsal dinner in Santa Fe as well as the pre-party and the post-party...he far exceeded our expectations! We did not provide a play list and chose to let him pick what he wanted to sing/play...great selections, every genre, new and old. He sounded great and it felt more like a concert! Still can't believe there was only one of him! Also, we liked him...very personable! 5 stars for our "friend" John!

John is a wonderfully talented musician. We especially love the Spanish guitar and how sings in Spanish. We have him every month, or at least every other month. You really should have him at your next event, it will make it even more memorable!

We were all set for John, but contacted him 5 days before the event to advise that Covid moved through our family - so we had to cancel. Plan is to reschedule though, as John was a delight to work with during the planning phase.

Tried to not do a 'star rating' since the event didn't occur - but that wasn't an option so selected the middle as being N/A.

John was great! He knew the crowd and the event, and knew exactly what to play! Great to work with as well, very responsive and communicative. Would hire him again in a heartbeat!

John did a wonderful job.

We held a Birthday Celebration for my mom, and John was a wonderful addition to our celebration.
From the moment that I submitted a request for a quote for our celebration, until the end of our celebration, John was very responsive, friendly, easy to work with, and the music he played was beautiful. At our celebration, we would be hosting a multi-generation crowd, and I wanted to choose songs that everyone could identify with. I found a list of songs on another website that John knew, so I highlighted the songs that I would prefer for him to play, and It worked out perfectly. Many of our guests commented to me that they were really enjoying the music. If we ever have another event, I would certainly hire John again, and I would highly recommend for others to consider hiring the, "Guitarist Extrordinaire," for your next event.

John joined our organization, WESST, for a fundraising event at Casa Esencia on 10/1/21. First and foremost his music is absolutely beautiful! I could have listened to an entire concert of his guitar playing and singing. He was so flexible when the weather wasn't cooperative and moved locations within the venue during the event. All of our guests talked about how beautiful his playing was and how much they enjoyed his music!

I received several comments from attendees that they were very please with John's playing - the most important positive feedback came from the groom. In my recording studio, I have had many guitarists come through and John ranks in the top tier. Thank you John for helping to make my only child/daughter's wedding an over-the-top success. The four Berklee School of Music grads (Damn Tall Buildings) I brought in from NYC were also impressed with John's work.
