Absolutely perfect vibe for our event!

John was very professional and arrived early to set up and was very organized. Volume and energy was adjusted to match the energy of the room and will definitely hire him again for future events.

Best live jazz music ever!

The guitar duo exceeded my expectations and then some! They were incredibly talented! All of my guests were raving about how amazing the music was. John was so kind and easy to work with. Fast and great communication and a really nice person. The music was absolutely fantastic!!! I would definitely book him again for another event, hands down. Thank you John for all of the beautiful music!
