ABOUT JOHN

An unmatched repertoire, ranging from the jazz vocal standards recorded by Sinatra, Dean Martin and Tony Bennett, covering all popular music styles right through to today’s favorites!   Enjoy the songs written by Elton John, Billy Joel, and Jimmy Buffet – you’ll hear tunes by James Taylor, The Beatles and Neil Diamond, and from artists like Sting, Michael Buble, John Legend, Maroon Five and Ed Sheeran.  If you like country music, just ask – from George Strait and Willie Nelson, to Lonestar, Alan Jackson and Tim McGraw!  

This wide selection allows the music to be tailored to any type of audience on any given night or event, from soft solo wedding ceremonies or cocktail/dinner hour background music of all genres, to more lively danceable music with the addition of a drummer and/or trumpet player (maybe some Gatsby Roaring 20’s music?!).  Sometimes a quiet background is just right, and sometimes people want to have a little more fun!

After more than 40 years of playing and singing in restaurants and clubs, handling requests is a true strength!   No standard “sets” of songs – every night is a new night of music, depending on the audience and what they want to hear!

40-YEAR MUSICAL CAREER HIGHLIGHTS

Performing for the people, not for the performer. 

Recognizing that the entertainer is not there to merely showcase his talents or original songs, or to overpower the room with sound, but to partner up with the house to provide the desired atmosphere in the room, in order to enhance the experience of the guests, bringing them back for more!   Getting to know the guests, and building relationships with them creates a regular following, and that benefits everyone!
