John is a storyteller with a genuine reverence for rock and roll history. That reverence extends to his elders who he has enjoyed serving as an activities professional in memory care units and assisted living homes. So, if you book entertainers, he understands and appreciates all that you do! Click the link above if you would like John to perform for your residents.
John has performed at our senior living community a few times now, and the residents have always had a good time. He is very accommodating and always down to try something new to make sure his clients are happy. I told John we have a few residents who enjoy Motown music, and he did a Motown performance just for us. He is very engaging and tells stories and jokes in between songs. Nothing but positive things to say about our experiences with him! Thank you, John!
I work for an Assisted Living facility and I have had John come out several times over the past year. Our residents, families and staff love him. Families have come up to me and complimented how good he was and that they enjoyed listening to John perform. He keeps everyone engaged during his performances. Book him for your next event.. you will not be disappointed. 🙂

You will see a 100% live performer playing popular songs his way. You will see someone connect with his audience through personal anecdotes filled with plenty of humor. My setup is simple. My approach to business is straightforward and based on customer service. All that, and have fun in the process.
John Wilkey has been writing and performing music for over twenty years. He is a visual storyteller with a lifelong love for American art forms: rock and roll, comic books, and film. His favorite thing to do is share that passion and bring audiences along for the ride.
I just need an electrical outlet. If you have something like a cart that I can use to wheel my equipment in, it would be helpful, but not necessary. All I have is a PA with a stand, a mic stand, and my guitar. Everything else, like cables and a microphone, fit in my backpack.
