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.

About John Thomas
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.
Reviews
John was awesome and he made our special event beautiful with his music.
If you're looking for a performer for your next event, look no further than John. I came to Thumbtack in search of a singer/guitarist to perform at my proposal, and I can happily confirm the rave reviews - everything went off without a hitch. He was proactive reaching out for specific details of where to be, showed up ahead of time, and performed my requested songs flawlessly. Thank you again John for making our day so special!
John played at our restaurant for two hours for my wife's birthday. He was on time and his guitar skills and voice were top notch. I definitely would use him again.
John is very talented. We contacted him at noon for a 7pm booking 2 hours away and not only did respond quickly and accept but he absolutely crushed it. We gave him no guidance on what we wanted to hear but he selected a great mix of older and newer hit cover’s. Some of his renditions were notably better than the original and everyone at the party loved it. Definitely will book him a again and would recommend him.
John made our wedding day so memorable. He was kind enough to learn our song (la vie en rose) and sang it beautifully. It meant the world to us to have someone so talented both vocally and with his guitar playing to create such a gorgeous rendition of that song for us on our special day. He captivated our guest with his playing, but was also understated and did not draw too much attention to himself with his playing during more intimate moments like toasts. He played all the songs that we requested and would love to have him back for all our big events in the future!
We contracted John for a small 30 person corporate event and our guests loved his music. It was a pleasure to have him.
John was excellent to work with and a great edition to liven up our networking event! We had several attendees comment on how talented his voice is. We will consider hiring John again in the future for one of our events.
John Thomas and his guitarist Sean were a great addition to our Corporate Summer Rooftop Party! John was responsive, easy to work with, and did not require much from me. They were enjoyed by all at the party, and we would book them again. Thank you!
Worth every penny. Super talented singer and guitarist. Had 40 ppl over for a bday party and everyone was AMAZED by John’s talent. The music was incredible and he just picked up the vibe and sang the best covers with zero direction. Check out his IG. He made a special day even more special.
