About
Hey! — I’m John Thomas, a professional singer-songwriter and guitarist providing live music for private events, weddings, and corporate functions throughout CT, NY, and NJ. I’ve performed for hundreds of events, from upscale private homes and restaurant-style wedding receptions to corporate gatherings and milestone celebrations. My goal is to create the right atmosphere for your event — whether that’s upbeat and energetic or relaxed and elegant. Career highlights include national television appearances, a major label recording deal with Sony/Epic Records, and features with Live Nation, BET and People Magazine — but what matters most is delivering a reliable, polished, stress-free experience for my clients. My setlist blends modern favorites (Harry Styles, Ed Sheeran, Justin Bieber) with timeless classics (Stevie Wonder, Bill Withers, The Beatles), always tailored to the room and the crowd. Most events book me as a solo act (vocals and guitar), with the option to add musicians if a fuller sound is needed. Pricing is based on the event rather than strictly by the hour, allowing flexibility based on your timeline, setup, and overall vision.

John Thomas was absolutely phenomenal at my husband’s 50th birthday party last night. His voice was soulful and completely mesmerizing, setting the perfect tone for the evening. Guests were completely drawn in by his performance and are still raving about how incredible he was. John is not only an exceptional vocalist, but also a true entertainer. He engaged with the kids at the party and sang their requests. The girls had a blast singing “on stage” with John Thomas. Having him there made the night unforgettable.

I recently hired John for a resident event at my apartment community’s outdoor block party, and I couldn’t be more impressed! From the very beginning, he was incredibly responsive and quick to reply to all of my questions. He was also super flexible – when I had to reschedule the event due to rain, he made it a breeze to adjust the date. On the day of the event, he arrived early with plenty of time for introductions and setup. And then there’s his music – absolutely amazing! He offers an extensive song list, and both his vocals and guitar skills are top-notch! He brings a great mix of professionalism and a laid-back, chill vibe that’s perfect for any event. Five stars all the way! Highly recommend!
