Breedlove Guitar Company

People have always asked me about some of the acoustic guitars I have been performing with since 2005. That was the year I got my first Breedlove. Since then, I have acquired several more, and I love them all. While I don't play them as much on stage, I have a couple of their older (larger) models I still use in the studio and my online streaming concerts. Breedlove is a great company out of Bend, Oregon, and they still build amazing guitars. Click here to find my Breedlove Artist Page:  https://breedlovemusic.com/acoustic-guitar-artists

John's first show in the islands happened in February of 1984 at the old Compass Lounge at the old Marathon Holiday Inn. Since then, John's “Perpetual Island Tour” has encompassed more than 10,000 performances in those four decades. He has entertained multiple thousands of residents and visitors, and has opened for acts like Kansas, Rodney Crowell, 38 Special, Rick Derringer, Edgar Winter, and more.
