Description
With an extensive repertoire including popular rock, folk, and pop songs spanning 60 years, John has been entertaining crowds at weddings, coffeehouses, restaurants, bars, private parties, and festivals since 1990. He combines faithful covers of acoustic guitar classics with unique adaptations of songs that in other hands would seem ill-suited to the instrument. John has a degree in music from BGSU, and he is a versatile multi-instrumentalist.

Feedback
- John did a fabulous job for our party - a 60's hootenanny. He learned new music for our event and also took requests from our guests. Everyone had a great time and John's music made the day! -- Pat A, Carmel, IN, 10/15/2011
- John was very professional - a 5
Overall talent 5 - he asked what music we'd like him to perform
he added new songs to his already various selections
I would refer him - several people commented about how good
he was - wondered how I found him. Of course I shared the information. He arrived at least a half hour before and was already
to begin. Thank you John! -- Vicki G, Cincinnati, OH, 5/5/2012
- John did an excellent job playing at our wedding. I hired John on gig masters without seeing him play, which made me nervous, but turned out to be a fine decision! We spoke on the phone and I also emailed him the songs that I wanted him to play for the ceremony. He was very accommodating with my song selection and was able to play all of them. Everyone said he did a wonderful job playing at our ceremony, I would definitely hire him again in the future. -- Jeannie D, Columbus, OH, 5/21/2011
- Went above and beyond expectations. Learned a new song within a week and did a great job. Very professional and very nice. Is very accommodating as well. -- Zach R, Newport, KY, 2/19/2011
