DESCRIPTION:
As a musician for hire I have provided live music for countless weddings, receptions, anniversaries, corporate functions and other special events throughout greater Boston and all of New England. My repertoire includes jazz and popular standards along with traditional classical guitar works.

The jazz and popular standards known as "The American Songbook" make great background music for any occasion. These tunes by composers such as Duke Ellington, George Gershwin, Henry Mancini, Ann Ronnell, Richard Rogers and a host of others, are widely known and loved across generational lines. Performing this music on solo acoustic guitar has become a particular specialty of mine.

Classical guitar music is generally light, yet elegant, and includes everything from transcriptions of Renaissance and Baroque lute music to Romantic and Contemporary works - lots of Spanish music as well.

Please read 'Customer Reviews' and listen to 'Audio Samples'. If you like what you hear and read then get in touch to discuss your event. Performances can be arranged to be all jazz, all classical, or an eclectic mix. The following song list is not nearly complete, but should give you a good idea of what to expect. More audio samples are available on request.

Thank you for taking the time to review my press kit. I hope to be hearing from you.

    CLIENT FEEDBACK:  

    Gerry was absolutely fantastic! He is a very talented guitar player and was extremely pleasant to work with. He was very helpful with providing suggestions for music during our ceremony, and added just the right touch to our dinner reception. All of my family and friends raved about him. I highly recommend Gerry! I would hire him again in a heartbeat.

    Gerry was a pleasure to work with. He was very supportive of our music request, which was to perform primarily Spanish guitar and classical guitar music, with some romantic and '40's era show tunes as well. He provided lots of samples of his repertoire so that we could provide input on what we liked best. He was prompt and efficient in all dealings. He arrived on time, and was very professional throughout. I recommend him highly for background music for a happy event.

    I was reluctant to hire a musician online, site unseen, however I must say that Gerry proved fantastic! Sensitive to the environment in terms of sound level & ambience, Gerry's music was a great match for our gathering of family & friends onboard the Friendship. Many thanks Gerry!

    I'll admit I was nervous about booking a guitarist online. However, I found this process easy and very efficient. I called Gerry and he returned my call right away. He arrived early to our event, he was very professional, easy to talk to, and very talented. I would recommend Gerry Johnston for any event. Amanda-Coordinator

    Gerry was great! He was very accomodating in the midst of our chaotic, loud reception. He played beautifully and added yet another layer of elegance to our reception. His repetoire of classical and jazz standards are just the right touch for such an event. He seemed to know exactly what was appropriate to play and needed very little input from us, yet was 100% open to suggestions. I'm glad I hired him and will not hesitate to hire him again.

    The guests of our party noted that Gerry's music completed the occasion and inquired about how we had found such a talented musician. The guest of honor said that Gerry's playing was the perfect touch! Gerry was extremely professional. He was also extremely accesible during the planning stages of the party, in addition to being flexible in this playlist.

    The people at my event enjoyed Gerry's music very much. I personally saw several of them request his card for future events of their own. I also really liked the ease of using your system. I don't book talent such as this very often, but will certainly come back to your site if I need to book someone in the future. Thanks.
