I auditioned and employed over 160 musicians and specialty acts. Among those musicians was John Baldwin. John was with us from the beginning, and over the 9 years he was with us I have seen his talents as a musician soar. He has become a seasoned musician with a style all his own. John was always on time, always looked appropriate, always willing to go the extra mile when it was necessary. If you are seeking a fine musician, dependable, with great morals and work ethics, John is your man! I feel totally confident in recommending him." -2010, Regina Marscheider, Director of Spectrum Entertainment, VA Bch, VA

Wedding CeremonyReviewed on September 12, 2013From Bethany Beach, DE

We were honored to have John perform at my daughter's wedding. He has incredible talent and was just what we were looking for. My daughter wanted a classy ukulele player for the ceremony. I wanted acoustic guitar playing for the cocktail hour and we both wanted the reception to fun and lively. John was able to do all of the above. The guests all raved about how wonderful he was. Again, I am thankful that he was able to perform for us. His range of talent is amazing.

Wedding CeremonyReviewed on October 23, 2012From Virginia Beach, VA

John Baldwin is an extremely talented musician and did an amazing job at our wedding!! We hired him to play acoustic guitar during the ceremony and cocktail hour...and he really impressed our guests! He has a HUGE song list and is willing to learn any new songs that you would like played as well! Definitely check out his website and his You Tube videos to see him in action! On the day of the wedding he came early to set up and stayed right on track with our timeline to ensure a flawless ceremony! Definitely choose John to play at your ceremony/wedding....he is a fantastic musician!!!!

Birthday Party (Adult)Reviewed on May 21, 2012From Philadelphia, PA

John is really an awesome talent. He blended a great cocktail of acoustic guitar, great vocals and fun musical choices. He lended such an amazing ambience to my husband's 40th birthday party, it felt so VIP! All of our guests, several of which play guitar, kept commenting on how good he was, and that says a lot! He was open to suggestions, pulled out some nostalgic pieces that we requested...even, Simple Minds, Dont You Forget About Me...which sounded amazing..and was extremely gracious when sharing his mic...And only one break! Unbelievable! I strongly recommend John, you will not be disappointed!
