Introduction
Music is my life. Music is an expression of who I am and what I like to bring to the world. My services are threefold. I am a performer (Vocals and Guitar) and a music educator. For more than 25 years, I have provided award winning musical services as a solo vocalist with guitar, duo, trio and full band, playing tunes from Standards, Easy Listening to Classic Rock and Originals. My Band has been a Yamaha Ticketmaster awardee and have played from small private venues to large stages such as the Redondo Beach Performing Arts Center, Hermosa Community Theater, Santa Barbara Jazz Festival, Manhattan Beach Fireworks Festival, Americana Fireworks Festival, Los Angeles Marathon and more. Employers include private parties, hotels, community centers, cities and government agencies. I am also a Musical Director for numerous stage musicals, a church music director and a Music teacher for Grades 1-8 which has provided a curriculum basis for Private Lessons. I teach private Vocal lessons, using time tested methodology that is appropriate for beginners to seasoned singers. I also teach guitar and ukulele and have been popular for putting together "garage bands" for all ages to Adult. Finally, I am a songwriter who can assist you or your company with special musical dedications, infomercials or theme songs. Music has been my full time occupation for many years and the magic of music is found in each client or service I provide. I enjoy seeing the fun and fellowship that results from my performances as well as the special life's memories that can be made with music. I love the "big" moments when my students realize that they have accomplished so much and they are really playing music.

John Brown was hired to DJ the 40th reunion at Bishop Montgomery High School. During the cocktail hour of the event, as requested. John played guitar and sang some of our acoustical favorites. For the remainder of the reunion John did a great job of playing the music that was requested by the alumni and kept the event flowing. This is the second time I have hired John Brown to be in charge of entertainment, and both times have been pleased, he is a true professional.

We are extremely happy with the music service John provided at my husband's memorial last weekend. John played Tears and Heaven and Hey Jude with an acoustic guitar for the service. We received so many compliments on his performance. It was very heartfelt, lively and was definitely comforting during this difficult time not only hearing these songs but hearing them live. Everything I envisioned, he definitely provided. Two thumbs up. Will definitely hire again!

Details: General event / party • 51 - 75 guests • 51 or older • Party host • Strings • Variety • Banquet hall / ballroom • Indoors • Yes, but equipment is limited and professional should bring their own equipment • $ (basic) • Conducting initial research

John Brown Entertainment was incredible and I highly recommend them. We hired them relatively close to the the event date but they were able to accommodate us. They arrived when they said they would be there, and everyone loved them! Very talented and very entertaining!

John Brown is a talented musician. I hired him for my parents 50th wedding anniversary party. He was amazing! Played all of the songs we asked and sounded great. He even let my dad, who enjoys singing and playing the guitar harmonize with him for a few of the songs. My dad was over the moon about the experience. I will hire John again and again if I am in need of live music. Thank you John for making my parents 50th extra special!

We hired John to sing at my mother's funeral. We could not have been happier with our choice. His voice is absolutely beautiful. And before hand, he took the time to make sure he understood the Catholic service perfectly. He was so nice and kind to work with. After the service the family received so many compliments on the beautiful service and John's singing. We can't thank him enough.
