I used Thumbtack to find Jon. He was quick to respond and did a great job explaining how he sets up and performs. I let Jon know this was for my husbands 60th birthday. I let Jon be in charge of what songs to play at the party. Jon arrived on time. His set up was quick and easy. He brought everything he needed. Several of our friends and family spoke with Jon through out the evening and told how friendly he was. Jon set out QR codes for guest to select music from his playlist. Jons play list was well balanced and kept all age groups (22-85) singing along. So I saved the best for last. Jons voice, sound and guitar playing was SUPERIOR! Everyone of our guest (25-30 guest) ask where I found Jon and what a gem he was to have playing at any event. We will absolutely have Jon back for future events. Thank you Jon for make a special evening fun and memorable!

Details: Birthday party • 26 - 50 guests • 31 - 50 years old • 51 or older • Piano • Guitar • Vocals • Oldies • Rock / classic rock • Pop / top 40 • Country / bluegrass • Other

Sherry! This is awesome to hear! Everyone there was so kind, I think 5 people asked me if I needed a drink or any food before I even started playing! I hope I can play for you again soon. Happy 60th to Elmer!

Jon was everything we'd hoped for during our birthday celebration for my wife! The crowd loved him. He played numerous requests and covered great tunes. He was more than just background music for our party - it was a bit like a poolside concert! Very strongly recommend you book Jon early and often for your important events. Thank you Jon!

Jon played for my group of friends on vacation celebrating our 40th birthdays. He was fantastic and entertaining and we all sang and danced non-stop. He knows a wide variety of songs and played everyone's favorites! Would totally use him again. Book him if you want great music and a great time!

I had a great time working with Jon from the moment we connected on Thumbtack, to the night of the event. He was very punctual when arriving to set-up in time for the Cocktail reception, and I could tell that our guests (including myself) very much enjoyed his music all throughout his set. Overall, it was a pleasant and easy-going experience working with Jon, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking to hire an excellent acoustic performer at their next corporate event!

Details: Cocktail hour • 101 - 150 guests • 31 - 50 years old • 18 - 30 years old • 51 or older • Vocals • Guitar • Pop / top 40 • Covers • Variety • Rock / classic rock • Oldies • Outdoors
