Comfortably solo, Jon Christie covers genres including classical, jazz, Latiin, Rock, Pop, and includes some of his some originals in the set as well. Bringing 15-years of experience to the stage, the crowd walks away itching for the next show.
Christie's setlist covers a such a wide range he can set the scene for formal events, quiet restaurants, hotel lobbys, private parties, weddings, and really anything. Come on out and enjoy :)
After my initial deposit was made, I sent Jon a few emails with questions and song choices. They were answered with enthusiasm and I was very excited to have found someone to play at our wedding. However, the responses to later emails went unanswered and needless to say Jon did not show up to play our ceremony music. Luckily I had a backup plan for our dj to play the songs I requested...but I'm still out my deposit money! I would give zero stars if possible because I cannot rate someone who did not show up!
Response from Jon Christie:
I deeply apologize for what happened on Sunday. I will absolutely reimburse your $40 right now and would like to explain my end of the situation. I was sent an email on the 11th stating the gig was at 5:30 in Cary, so I decided to go there. With no one there I contacted you, left a message and never heard back. I didn’t know what to do and feel horrible. Basically, the change you requested had to be changed in the official contract. Again, I am very sorry and will refund the $40 right now. I hope you enjoy this wonderful time of your life. Congratulations!
Mr. Christie was an awesome! He meshed well with my pianist. Everyone enjoyed the music. My wedding was wonderful!!!!!
Enjoyed it.
Response from Jon Christie:
Thanks for everything Craig. I had a great time. If you ever need a musician or sound tech, I'm right around the corner ;)

Jon Christie has played in several bands with different styles. I have seen him play for different types of events-- in bars/lounges/restaurants, at graduations, at a funeral and at festivals. He is an excellent musician and singer. I try to go to every event I see that he is playing in.
Great person to deal with and awesome in assisting what songs to play and what else to do to make the night special!
I do Bookings for Clubs/Festivals, I have worked with Jon on both sides of the coin. Playing, Recording, and booking. His talent proceeds him in all aspects. We have written music, and I have booked him solo, and with a few carnations of bands. I would recommend him to anyone
Jon is a great musician who shines solo but also likes to surround himself with other excellent/professional musicians.
I have seen Jon Christie live several times, and each time was better than the last. He has great energy and stage presence, and he is an amazing guitar player! After the shows I always go up to talk to him, and am consistently struck by how humble and easygoing he is. He is a consummate professional, and I would recommend him to anyone looking for top-notch entertainment for their event!

My solo performance is designed to accomodate any type of situation, from drinking parties, birthday parties of all ages, weddings, restaurants, lobbies, airports, etc. So depending on what you are planning, you may here my jazz instrumental standards, classical pieces transcribed for guitar, and some of my soothing original tunes. For a more upbeat party, I bring the energy with a phrase sampler (allows me to loop what I play live and then play over it) and tunes ranging from classic rock, funk, 80s, 90s, Motown and anything you want... and I mean it.
I am a very nice person who gets along with just about anyone. I taught for 5 years and now tutor, so I'm a great people person and performer. So with that you can expect a greatly accommodating and flexible, laid back yet professional, very easy going heck of a musician and soon to be friend :) This comes out on the stage, and when the performer is having fun, so is everybody. If you know the song, come and sing it! Play as well

If you have a PA, thats great. If not, I'll happily bring mine. The only thing I'll have to require are wall outlets within 50 feet. If you don't have that, let me know so I can bring extension cords.

I'd have to say that seeing others perform at a variety of events intrigued me the most. One in a while, you get to be a part of something really special that you helped celebrate or make happen. Who knows? Every show is different and exciting. In addition to that, simply the music. I love to play music and if someone wants to hear it played live, with passion, soul, and a little humor, look know further.
The only item I'll need from you guys is power (wall outlets). A small table with chair or stool is nice but not necessary. Same with PA... great but I have one I can bring.
