Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on August 20, 2023•From Lake Geneva, WI

Great performer with a wide range of music from the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s and more. Sounds system was appropriate for the venue and all in attendance had a great time!

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on August 16, 2009•From Madison, WI

We could not have had a more perfect day and Coventry Jones was part of that. I knew that we would like him but did not know how fantastic he sounded live. All of our guests asked how we found him and now want to look up his other gigs in the Wisconsin area to go and hear him! We all had fun and he was such a great person to work with. We could not have wished the evening to be any better, it was perfect!

Fundraiser•Reviewed on August 30, 2009•From Chicago, IL

CJ performed at our local coffee house where we held a "stop hunger" fundraiser. Not only was his performance terrific but he was professional and accomodating regarding terms of engagement. If you want to have fun, hear great music and go home smiling, hire CJ. Ralph Intagliata, Chicago

Event•Reviewed on July 8, 2006•From Westfield, WI

CJ made immediate contact regarding the bid and kept in contact between the contract and event to ensure any concerns or requests I might have would be addressed for the event. He demonstrated great professionalism by: 1)his timeliness in being set up and ready for performance as agreed, 2) extending his performance for the audience without solicitation 3) having a wardrobe change to ensure he was dressed to my expectations and 4) his interaction with the group throughout performance. CJ is a talented musician and a delight to work with. I found his rates to be competitive and a good value for the evening. I would recommend him for hire and would hire him again.

Corporate Function•Reviewed on July 17, 2006•From Elkhart Lake, WI

Coventry performed for my company's campfire event at the Osthoff Hotel. There were about 60 people there. Coventry was very professional in terms of getting to the function on time and having everything I requested with him. He is a accomodating and easy to work with. The attendees at the event were impressed with his abilities and he handled himself very well taking request after request. I would defitnitely recommend he for this type of venue.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on April 19, 2010•From Palatine, IL

CJ played for my wife's 50th b-day party. He was great to work with and handled the various song requests with ease. I want to have another party just so he can play! Highly recommended. Tom S.

Corporate Function•Reviewed on April 9, 2010•From Lake Geneva, WI

Coventry Jones was absolutely fantastic! He had a great playlist, took requests, and was a fantastic performer. During his performance, I was already thinking ahead to events where I could hire him to perform again. I highly recommend Coventry Jones!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on June 25, 2012•From Twin Lakes, WI

Coventry Jones put on a great performance before my wedding as well as at the cocktail hour. Guests commented on the songs he played and how well he played them. I was unable to personally enjoy his performance, as the bride I was not in the church before the ceremony started, and missed the cocktail hour, but reviews I received from others were great! We were unable to coordinate some special requests due to time constraints to close to the date, but I was still very pleased with is service and performance!

Grand Opening•Reviewed on January 7, 2013•From Freeport, IL

Arrived late (may have been weather related). Only sang two songs of those we requested months ahead of time, and he did not know the lyrics of those very well. Spoke too fast in his comments between numbers--audience could not understand him at all.

:

WI & IL hazardous winter road delay, started performance w/in 15 minutes of scheduled time. Delay warning provided. Lyric sheets/songlist prepared for event. The theme changed from a Woody Guthrie tribute to "Journey Stories". "City Of New Orleans" Arlo Guthrie to Woody Guthrie "This Land Is Your Land" w/ several sub-themes of travel songs "Ramblin Man"(Allman Bros.), songs of life/raising children "Cats In The Cradle"(Harry Chapin") to John Denver's "Country Roads" & "Will The Circle Be Unbroken" a backporch bluegrass funeral/spiritual. No specific songs requested by sponsor for event. 1-5 ratings don't match live audience's applause/positive feedback. CJ

Picnic•Reviewed on July 25, 2012•From Milwaukee, WI

Coventry Jones (CJ) was great to work with. Everyone was very happy with his song selection and he was very accomodating and even jammed a bit with one of our guests who had his electric guitar. We used CJ for a very casual picnic to celebrate my sister's marriage and she said he was the hit of the whole day! He played past the agreed upon timeframe and was very friendly to everyone. We would and will use him again if he is available.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on August 23, 2011•From Oostburg, WI

CJ provided great entertainment for our party and guests were very complimentary. He played long after we had agreed and kept the party going! Thank you, CJ.

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on May 14, 2010•From Milton, WI

Coventry Jones did a wonderful job singing. Many guests commented on how much they enjoyed him. He also stayed and played for 2 hours longer than we had booked him for. He was however, long in getting back to us before hand and was not able to find a foreign song I requested. I would also talk to him before hand about breaks and when he takes them.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on June 23, 2019•From Minnetonka, MN

To cancel day of large soirée demonstrates lack of professionalism and seriousness on the part of Coventry Jones. When I called to confirm his text and ask the reasoning for such a rash cancelation, he stated, he had overslept.This explanation for canceling is inexcusable and left us in a predicament, no entertainment and the experience caused duly stress on an already busy event. Furthermore, I would recommend C.J. be dismissed from Gigmasters. With the plethora of talented serious musicians, whom are responsible artists looking to fulfill hired commitment, further career opportunity, sustain livelihood, why bother with flaky mediocre wannabes

Did a fabulous job at our father's funeral.

Retirement Party•Reviewed on December 13, 2018•From Madison, WI

Coventry Jones played for us at a retirement party, and he was the perfect choice. The music was familiar to the audience, and several people commented on how much they enjoyed the performance. I look forward to working with Coventry Jones again in the future.
