FINDING LOCAL MUSICIAN
Finding and booking a local musician for your event is easier than ever, thanks to the Internet. Just type in a
search term such as “…find jazz musician…” or “find classical musician for hire…” and you will find more local
musicians that you would ever have imagined. An Internet search is the easiest way to begin anytime you need to
find a musician. Once you find a local musician whose style of music is what you are looking for, the next step
should be to check referrals. Any experienced, professional musician should be able to provide you with
testimonials of performances from previous clients.
You want suitable music for your event. But, you also want someone who is punctual, courteous, reliable,
properly dressed, etc. - “Professional”. Booking a musician without this research can be a huge mistake.
As a professional musician for hire I am always happy to provide as much information as possible to potential
clients. Below are a number of testimonials that clients have sent me after a performance.
CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
Gerry is a top-notch musician--both versatile and tasteful in his playing. Furthermore, he is the utmost
professional. I highly recommend Gerry for your wedding, party or special occasion.
Paul Hollman, composer, producer, recording engineer: Soulshine Music
Gerry played beautifully. His sound system was stellar. His attitude was relaxed and confident. He fit in perfectly
with the party.
-Wendy F, Community Event, Portsmouth, NH
Gerry was fantastic and easy to work with. His professionalism and talent exceeded expectations (you never know
when booking talent over the internet). And, I would highly recommend him for future area events.
-Heather B, Corporate Function, Wakefield, MA
Gerry was a delight! We were all very impressed.....perfect selection of songs, and just the right volume
throughout the night. We would highly recommend him for any gathering. He helped us create a most wonderful
and memorable evening for ourselves and our guests. Thank you Gerry!
- Charlie & Kristen R., Private Party, Northborough, MA
Gerry provided background music for a community event held in our home. We were extremely pleased with the
entire experience and would not hesitate to hire him again.
-Teri & Wayne W, Community Event, Bedford, NH
I'll admit I was nervous about booking a guitarist online. However, I found this process easy and very efficient. I
called Gerry and he returned my call right away. He arrived early to our event, he was very professional, easy to
talk to, and very talented. I would recommend Gerry Johnston for any event.
-Amanda R, Corporate Banquet, Framingham, MA
I was reluctant to hire a musician online, site unseen, however I must say that Gerry proved fantastic! Sensitive to
the environment in terms of sound level & ambience, Gerry's music was a great match for our gathering of family
& friends onboard the Friendship. Many thanks Gerry!
-Jessica M, Private Party, Salem, MA
Gerry,
Thank you so very much for performing at Jake's Bar Mitzvah. You were wonderful and everyone commented on
the excellent choice of entertainment. Your music was beautiful and added to the special day. I will definitely pass
your name around to interested parties. Have a great holiday season, may it be happy and healthy! Be well,"
Anne and David A.
Dear Gerry,
Thank you for coming to our library to perform jazz tunes with your classical guitar. Everyone really enjoyed your
concert. Not only did you play a wonderful variety of pieces, but you also provided information about the
composers. We really appreciated learning about the history of the music. I hope that someday you will produce a
CD. A number of people asked me if you had one. We certainly would like one for our library. Best wishes to you
Gerry

Dear Gerry:
My family and I would like to thank you on behalf of my guests for such great performance last night. You are
such a fine musician. I appreciated the way you mastered the guitar making such fine music. You were such an
entertainer engaging people with every song. I hope you enjoyed yourself here as much as we enjoyed you. I also
appreciate your professionalism and ability to make people so comfortable and relaxed. Thanks again. And I
hope we can enjoy your music again some time in the future.
Best regards, Yocasta and Michael
The diversity of your music was very enjoyable! Everything went smoothly with you being there. We were very
impressed and all of the feedback was positive!
Barbara C. Anna Jaques Hospital Aid Association
"If I had to describe your performance in one word it would be "spellbinding". Your music just carries people
away. The house concert you gave in our home was very well received by everyone; there were so many positive
remarks from people. Your program included a wide variety of selections. You relate easily and well to your
audience and provide interesting program notes about the music. In short, your performance was wonderful - a
delightful evening of beautiful music."

BOOKING MUSICIANS - ONLINE BOOKING AGENCY
Many of my bookings come from the Gigmasters web site.Gigmasters.com is an online entertainment booking
agency which is widely used for hiring professional entertainment in North America. After a performance has
taken place, Gigmasters sends out a "client feedback" form which allows the client to give a review of the
entertainer. As a performer, I am not allowed to delete, edit or in any way change these reviews as submitted - not
even to correct misspellings. This system assures potential clients that they are being presented with completely
honest evaluations of performers. The following link will take you directly to the 'Client Feedback' section of my
Gigmasters listing.
