Just like the title says, I’m much more than just your standard variety music act. Yes, I do play POPULAR, CROWD-PLEASING SONGS that everyone will enjoy but I also offer so much more. Here’s the full Jon Horton experience: 👨🏼‍🎓TRAINED MUSICIAN = QUALITY EXPERIENCE: Over 27 years of performance experience, culminating in unique and exciting acoustic guitar renditions of your favorite tunes with skilled vocals. 🔄 LAYERED LIVE LOOPING: All of my song performances are layered with live looping, on-the-spot and in-the-moment to make my performance sound like a full band. You will not only hear acoustic guitar and singing but also drum-like sounds as well as melodic solo lines all at the same time making for a more captivating performance. Don’t be surprised if you and your guests want to get up and dance to their favorite tunes! (Looping examples provided in demo) 🎸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 (instrumental demo will be provided for your review). 📈HIGH FIDELITY SOUND SYSTEM: My speakers are high quality with a crisp and clean sound that can accommodate and fill a large space. ❤️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) 🇺🇸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. 🎤🎤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 either! ✅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) 🧼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. 👍🏻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. 🙂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 😉) 🙌🏻BACKED BY 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 Thumbtack and Gig Salad.

Great question! I do a wide variety of genres from the 60's to today - from the Beatles to Foo Fighters! Here's my song list: thejonhorton.com/songlist

Yes I do! You can see a few at the top of this page or click this link here.

I'll play music any time, any day! However, I am receiving booking requests all the time, so please act ASAP by filling out the request form at the bottom of this page to secure your slot. No obligations; just a Free Quote!

Absolutely! If it's not on my song list, I can learn it for you 👍🏻

Yes! Before I started singing professionally, I specialized in instrumental performances. Most of the songs on my song list can be performed instrumentally only with no singing. I can also switch out my normal acoustic guitar for a classical guitar as well if you prefer a more classical sound.

Awesome! I'm excited to play for you! There's a form at the bottom of this page to contact me with any further questions. Once contacted, the first step is to get your contact info, venue address, date and time of the performance, and other details. Then I send you a contract through Docusign to review and sign. After that, depending on the date and type of performance, I will need either a 50% security deposit to secure the date or a full payment if it's within a 30-day period. I accept payment through Credit Card (3% surcharge), Venmo, Cashapp, and Zelle. If I encounter an emergency and I have to cancel my appearance, you are guaranteed a full refund at stated in the contract.
