Introduction
Hello and thank you for visiting my Thumbtack page! I am a singing guitarist that plays a wide variety of crowd-pleasing songs, BUT I PROVIDE MORE than just that. Click the Read More button to see!👇🏻 1. TRAINED MUSICIAN = QUALITY EXPERIENCE: Over 30 years of performance experience, culminating in unique acoustic guitar renditions of your favorite tunes with skilled singing. 2. BACKED BY OVER 50 5-STAR REVIEWS: You don’t have to take my word for it; Dozens of high praise reviews from previous clients can be found on Google, Thumbtack, and Gig Salad. 3. LAYERED LIVE LOOPING: All of my song performances are layered with live looping, on-the-spot and in-the-moment to give my performance more depth. This helps promote a range of moods like a soft intimate setting with layered melodies and harmonies, or an exciting and upbeat party atmosphere with drum-like sounds and rhythms. And everywhere in between. All performed live. 4. SINGING OR INSTRUMENTAL: Whether you want something a little more energetic with quality vocals OR you’re looking for something laid back and instrumental only, I can provide both options in the same performance with ease (check out my instrumental demo of Can't Help Falling In Love). 5. HIGH FIDELITY SOUND SYSTEM: The Bose Speakers, L1 Pro16, are an industry standard in audio quality. Not only providing beautiful audio but also amazingly powerful enough to fill a large outdoor space. 6. LEARNING SPECIAL SONGS FOR YOU: Did you want to hear a song that’s not on my regular rotation? Never fear! I will be happy to learn at least one song for you and likely more! (further details pending the specific song requested) 7. SUPPORTING A VETERAN: You'll be supporting a former active duty service member of the United States Military. I was in the U.S. Navy Band for 6 years. 8. EXTRA WIRELESS MICROPHONES FOR YOU: Do you want to make announcements through the speakers? Or maybe you’re having a fun party and want to do a little sing-along karaoke? I bring 2 extra wireless microphones so you can do both! 9. REAL TIME SONG REQUEST SYSTEM: (optional) You and your guests are provided easy access to my song request system allowing you to request any tunes from my song list from their phone. I then see your requests on my tablet in real time! (song list can be sent for review) 10. CLEAN LYRICS: All of the songs are throughly reviewed to ensure they have clean lyrics providing a comfortable atmosphere that promotes harmony across all generations and lifestyles. 11. CONTRACTUAL GUARANTEES: A written and signed contract between me and you will guarantee that you’ll get EXACTLY what you asked for. This is done through the Docusign company to help ensure ease and comfort. 12. CLEAR HEADED PROFESSIONALISM: No alcohol. No drugs. EVER. I’ve been sober my whole life and I’m not starting now. (I promise that doesn’t mean I’m boring 😉) I would be honored to play for you. Feel free to take time to review my demo videos in the featured projects section.

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!
