John was a great choice for our wedding! He played our ceremony as well as our cocktail hour, and our guests as well as our vendors were saying how impressed they were by his voice. So glad that we went with him for our live music, it added such a special touch to our big day.

John performed at our wedding welcome party this past weekend and did not disappoint! Not only is he incredibly talented, he was very communicative and accommodating throughout the booking process and the weeks leading up to the event. I highly recommend! Thank you for making our special event extra special, John!
Country Singer, Guitarist, Rock & Roll Singer
John tied our entire wedding together and seamlessly led our group through multiple locations entertaining both our guests and passersby the whole time. He went above and beyond to make everything special, and it was. By the end of the evening, a crowd of people not even involved with the wedding were gathering around and dancing because John is such a great performer. We keep going to see him play when we can because it's always a great time and an even better memory for us!

We had John over for our 4th of July Party and he was a HIT!!!
Singing Guitarist
John was absolutely fantastic! So kind, so talented, everyone loved him! He received compliments all around! On top of being wonderful at entertaining the group he was kind enough to help us out when our speaker/ mic had technical issues and let our speaker use his. Cannot speak highly enough on him!

John was a great addition to our daughter’s engagement party. His playlist & vocals were spot on!!
Guitarist
John was more than we bargained for! Not only was he super talented and entertaining, he also was incredibly professional and knew exactly what we were trying to accomplish with our surprise engagement for our daughter. We can’t recommend him more and hope to have a need for his services again because I would hire him again and again and again!
Singing Guitarist
John was great at communicating ahead of time, showed up early and ready to go. Totally professional and pleasant. Treated my guests super well. My boss and guests were completely impressed and thrilled. This really made the evening. Thank you!
Singing Guitarist
John came out and crushed it for our event. He was exactly what we were looking for. He played a great mix of tunes and sounded fantastic, but also, he was early, he was super nice, and he came with everything he needed - all we had to provide was a plug! We would definitely recommend John for future events!!
Country Singer, Singing Guitarist
John is a true performer

John was awesome. He had a list of music to pick from. His youtube video is what convinced us to book him .. but he's wayyyyyy better than the video. Excellent singer.

About
Born in McAllen, TX in the 80's. I became interested in music after watching Elvis on TV. As a teenager in the 90's my setlist is heavily influenced by the music of that time. Came to Austin to live my dream of becoming a performing musician & picked up my first official gig at the ripe old age of 19. I played off & on for several years and finally quit my day job in 2011 to become a full-time performer. Over the years, I've added modern country and classic rock. I've played many shows for bars, restaurants, private events, receptions, and weddings and am looking forward to many more years!
Additional Booking Notes
I have a full quality professional PA suitable for large and small audiences, both indoors and outdoors. My only requirements for performances is access to one electrical outlet and a small space to set up.

Influences & Inspiration
Elvis's carefree rock'n roll style sucked me in the first time I heard him as a kid. Then as I grew up I connected with modern rock and country music. Today, I'd give my left kidney for front row tickets to Collective Soul :)
