    ALLSTAR, professional, talented & kept dance floor packed

    Jon was AMAZING to work with. First, he loves his profession and it shows by the amazing musicians he brings & their energy!!
    Had a solo vocal/guitarist during cocktail hr, then a trio playing during dinner, and 7-piece band for dancing. Band has a versatile song list for you to review and highlight beforehand.
    The band created an amazing atmosphere for guests. Dance floor was always packed, even during the band’s break and the DJ mixed from our Spotify song list we put together (mostly, house & hip hop) Post-wedding, everyone kept remarking just how amazing the band was!

    I am so glad we found Jon / JSH music - not only because of the talented musicians but throughout the entire planning process Jon was always responsive, helpful and willing to adjust plans / terms as needed to accommodate our requests (I.e. added a solo vocal/guitarist for cocktail hr)
    Have no doubt when booking Jon / JSH that you’re setting yourself up for a fun and memorable event.

    JSH Music Productions Quintet

    JSH Music Productions' Quintet performed for our event and were beyond outstanding! They performed their sets at just the right volume-you could carry on a conversation and enjoy the music without a problem. The Quintet had a wonderful energy , were enthusiastic and we would definitely use them again.

    Nailed it! Perfection.

    Jon is simply world-class when it comes to executing music and audio for an event. Our wedding in Solvang was at a winery with no in-house equipment, so we needed two separate sound systems and a live jazz trio, which Jon effortlessly executed. From providing all of the needed equipment, to helping to scout the venue for ideal setup locations, to helping to curate the music and hire exceptional musicians from LA for the wedding - Jon exceeded our every expectation. He will work with you on everything from live solo guitar players to jazz trios to full top-40 or country groups, or simply a DJ - whatever you can imagine, Jon can make it easy.

    As a musician myself, I was somewhat neurotic about making the music aspect of our wedding perfect. Jon not only worked with us on our wishes and accommodated each request with respect, he personally ran the sound equipment, played drums, built playlists and DJ'd, but also coordinated everything so it ran smoothly and blended in with the vibe of our vision. Not to mention his equipment looks clean and professional and sounds STELLAR!

    THIS IS THE GUY you want to trust with such an essential aspect of any event - the music. Could not recommend him enough.

    Thanks SO MUCH, Jon!

    Mother of the Bride

    Jon was amazing from the first call to book him til the end of the wedding!
    He will be the first call we make when my next daughter gets married! He had everyone dancing from the beginning til the end! It was a magical wedding and one week later our friends are still texting “that was the best wedding ever” and we attribute it is a large part to the great music!
    Thank you Jon! See you at the next wedding!

    Want to find a reason to hire them again!

    Jon Harris was fantastic! He understood our desires right away and went beyond the call of duty to make sure we got what we were dreaming of.

    He brought a GREAT level of energy. The band made the reception totally fun. They read the crowd and knew when and how to get things going! We could NOT have been happier. We had so many guests compliment the band afterward.

    They were completely professional. I sent Jon a song list and some spotify playlists and I never thought about it again. He handled fade-ins and outs and the ceremony sound and the breaks - all without me worrying about a thing.

    They even worked with my dad the day of the wedding to do a surprise toast that incorporated different songs as he spoke.

    I can't say enough good things. I highly recommend.

    Jon and the Stir Father musicians were amazing! Picking the songs for our sets of music was one of my favorite wedding tasks. As a bride I did not have to worry about them day of at all, they were completely professional with their sound check and set up, and all communications. Plus they ROCKED and had everyone on the dance floor. I would definitely hire them again and recommend them to anyone!

    We interviewed 10+ DJ and music vendors before John came to our rescue. Do you know how hard it is to find a DJ that can get every guest dancing from babies to grandparents from a variety of cultures? It’s like finding a needle in a haystack. John is your needle in the haystack.

    John will go out of his way to make your wedding the event of the year. His energy and charisma is unbeatable, and he’ll tailor your music needs to exactly what you’re looking for and make added suggestions on top. Some DJ’s just want to play the type of music they are comfortable with vs. what you need. We were a multicultural French American wedding with unique tastes and he made our playlist exactly right for our special day. John found us amazing live musicians to also play what we wanted, and then busted out his DJ skills in the late evening. He even suggested adding an electric drum set set to his sound system and busted out rythm in conjunction to the tracks. I didn’t even know this was possible and it was amazing!!!

    Very highly recommend. Save your time with the rest, and just contact John.

    Dependable, responsive, above and beyond, great sound system, and extremely reliable.

    Jon was the perfect match to our party. He delivered quite a show, and was really interactive. He also gave many suggestions which we appreciated. If you are looking for a professional, fun, genuine and ENTHUSIAST DJ, Jon is your guy!!

    We hired the three piece jazz band for a 50th wedding anniversary. They were a pleasure to work with from start to finish! The entire team was very professional, polite and amazing follow up from the moment we reached out to inquire about their services. I would have no hesitation hiring them again for any future event and can't say enough how happy we were with JSH! They are a class act!

    Jon has done the Fess Parker Company holiday parties for a few years and brings his A-game to each and every one. Our employees enjoy his music selections and have a great time on the dance floor. Jon always checks for any special requests we may have, but truly we leave it all up to him and he has never let us down. Jon will always play anything an employee asks for at the party and watching Jon, he puts his all into his job and is very well liked. I can't imagine having our annual event without JSH Music.

    Using Jon and his group was the best investment I made. This was our first time hiring live entertainment for an event and I was very apprehensive. Jon took care of everything. His band, Stir Father, was great and he arranged for other entertainment as well. Our party went off without a hitch and was our best ever. Will definitely hire them again and refer.

    We got married on September 23, 2017 in Solvang at K'Syrah. Jon provided music for our Friday evening cocktail party as well as the Saturday wedding event. Jon was so great to work with, from the initial email and phone discussion and then an in-person meeting. Based on our desires, he proposed several options to accommodate our wants and budget. Once we agreed on both, and I continued to work on the details of both Friday night and Saturday nights events, he was responsive to my questions and very helpful in making sure the flow of the music was to perfection. I told him my idea of a special song I wanted to walk down the aisle and he said he would have his vocalist learn the song and do a version that worked with our theme. I asked him to do two additional special songs throughout the evening, in which he was more than happy to have his band accommodate (all surprises to my fiancé). My fiancé had asked him to surprise me with an instrumental serenade based on one of my favorite movies, and again, Jon out did himself! Music is so important at a wedding and it can make or break the vibe and mood of the guests. One concern we had was the noise level of the band in the venue, during dancing as we had some older people and didn't want them being overwhelmed by the loud music; Jon assured us he could modify the noise level and he did a great job of that Saturday night! I highly recommend Jon and his team for any event. Thank you to you and the other band members. The vocalist was wonderful as well!

    Jon's band The Free Radicals made our wedding a non stop dance party! I am so so glad that we decided to spend more and get a band, it was worth every penny. Not only was the band fantastic, playing hits that everyone at the wedding could rock out to, Jon was also super easy to work with leading up to the wedding. From our first conversation, we immediately could tell that he would be trustworthy and reliable, and we were not disappointed.

    Besides the band learning a new song for our first dance (and a couple extra favorites), Jon also helped us select songs for our ceremony music which was really clutch as we were getting down to the wire with no strong ideas. So other than being a great band manager and drummer, he was awesome at consulting with us. He even took time out to meet with us in person during one of our pre-wedding planning trips.

    In addition to the band, Jon also provided a solo guitarist to play the ceremony music and cocktail hour, and Erich was great! Walking down the aisle to acoustic Elvis instead of pre-recorded old fashioned orchestra music was so much more special!

    Can't say enough good things about Jon, his band, and his overall service. You will not regret working with him!

    Thanks Noa and Andy! From all of us in the band, and crew, we really enjoyed working with you guys! Thanks so much,

    To all couples looking for a rocking band for their wedding - look no further! Stir Father knocked it out of the park and exceeded every expectation we had. They got everyone on the dance floor, had such a great range of music genres on their set list, worked with us to learn what songs we wanted to hear and even learned a couple special requested songs to play at our wedding. We heard from so many guests after the wedding about how awesome the band was. Great people, great tunes and too much fun!! It truly made our entire wedding having them be a part of it. Jon at JSH Music Productions who is the drummer of Stir Father and was our main contact in coordinating ahead of the wedding was so responsive and easy to work with. In addition to our reception band (Stir Father), Jon worked with us to provide music services (an acoustic set) for our Friday evening rehearsal dinner event, as well as brass players for a "second line" parade that happened from our wedding to our after party. Every last detail and request was accounted for and coming from two avid music lovers, we were above and beyond happy with all musical elements involved in our wedding weekend! Thank you to JSH Music Productions and Stir Father! You want these music professionals involved in your wedding, trust us :)

    My husband I just got married at the Coral Casino in Montecito and I can't tell you how unbelievable our music was! Jon and JSH did an absolutely amazing job! From our initial contact with Jon he was professional and made the entire process of choosing our music so easy. For our wedding we had a small jazz trio play during dinner, Jon mc'ed during the night and then we had the Free Radicals band play. The Free Radicals band has a great play list and Jon and the band played all the exact songs we picked from a lengthly song list that Jon provided to us to choose songs before the wedding.
    The jazz band during dinner was perfect not too loud but really nice background dinner music. We highly recommend it. The Free Radicals band is high energy and all of the musicians are so talented and the vocals are amazing! Our guests came up to us and told us how much they loved the band and how good they were all night. When the band took a break music was dj'ed and the exact songs we picked were played. We highly recommend splurging for The Free Radicals, jazz band and dj services to add a variety of music to your wedding or event! The best wedding band hands down in the Southern California area!

    Our event was an 80th birthday celebration for my mother. It took place at our ranch where we have an outdoor dance floor, so we wanted dance music. I was able to choose all of the songs from the 6 page list. Also, we added the 3-piece horn section because my mother loves the sax. A particular song of hers they were able to play that was not on the list, Herb Alpert and The Tijuana Brass, "A Taste of Honey". This was the opening song. They also accommodated our desire for a tribute song for her brother who passed away 30 years ago. All along the way, over a period of 6 months, Jon Harris, the band manager, was professional, timely, upbeat, and accommodating. Our guests said it was the best band they have ever heard. Choosing the band Stir Father was the best decision I made. Their performance was fabulous. We also compiled our own music selection for the cocktail/dinner hour and band break DJ music (cocktail/dinner hour was chosen along the theme of bassa, samba, Sergio Mendez type beat and band break music was laid back 70's choices) which Jon was able to accommodate, setting the tone for the different periods of our party. I highly recommend choosing JSH Music Productions and Stir Father for your next event.

    JSH music was such a pleasure to work with! Jon was so easy to communicate with and he didn't need much in order to understand my style of music. It was easy to let go and let him and his band handle things. The acoustic guitarist during the ceremony and cocktail was spectacular. He covered Beattles songs, at my request, and just nailed it. The energy that the band brought to the reception was seriously what made the entire night. No one left the dance floor and so many guests came up to me to ask for the bands contact. The Stir Fathers were just incredible. They nailed every song. They're vibe fit the crowd and we all just had the best time listening and dancing. They're playlist flowed with the evening just right. Don't hesitate to book this company, they're worth more than they charge! So incredibly grateful to have had such talented musicians on such a special day. Thank you JSH!

    Jon provided a killer sonic landscape for our wedding! He paid close attention to the type of vibe we wanted and totally nailed it by creating a custom curated playlist for the entire evening. Jon also brought in a guitarist, fellow musician Erich Schneider, who was perfect for what we envisioned for the ceremony and cocktail hour. Erich even created a customized acoustic version of one of my favorite songs for when I walked down the aisle. We received multiple compliments on the music throughout the night and days following. When we look back on our wedding, music factors heavily into our favorite memories, I'm very happy we chose JSH Music Productions!

    JSH Music Productions, Inc.'s reply:

    Thanks so much Christian and Ben! Really enjoyed working with you on your wedding music! My best to you both!

    Jon did an exceptional job of DJ'ing our wedding. We met with him in person about 6 months before the wedding, and he presents himself very professionally, and personable. We discussed the vibe for the wedding, our music tastes, guests, and things of that nature. Before the wedding, we exchanged a few emails, with some songs for specific parts of our wedding, along with a general list of songs for the dancing part of the reception, so he could get a feel for the type of music we would like. Our guests all had a great time, and Jon was a major part of that experience!

    If he has the availability book him! He was so great with our event and all the guests! He played a great variety of music that got everyone on the dance floor! I gave him a list of things I wanted him to announce and he stuck to my requests and got everything I asked in. He was all we could have asked for and more! Don't pass Jon up!

    Jon and Erich were absolutely fantastic! They exemplify top-notch, professional music service that genuinely care about the experience and memories for their clients. My wife and I could not be more pleased with the experience we had, and all of our guests had an absolute blast on the dance floor. The music was specifically tailored to our tastes, the announcing was witty, and no one could be pulled off the dance floor all night. Thanks again, and I would highly recommend Erich and Jon at JSH to anyone!
