John Poirier Music Variety Singer from Franklin, MA

I am a singer guitarist with a focus on three types of audiences. First, I perform at Senior Living facilities where I highlight songs from the 40s, 50s and 60s. These concerts typically range from 60 to 90 minutes in length. Second, I perform at smaller venues such as tap rooms and taverns where I include songs from the 70s, 80s and 90s. Genres include pop, folk and country. Finally, I perform at private parties including weddings (ceremonies and dinners), anniversaries, birthdays and family gatherings. I mostly work solo but often perform with a female vocalist who brings a repertoire of songs by female recording artists and adds harmonized duet capabilities. Please see my songs list to appreciate the variety of music I/we can perform. I am recently retired and have resurrected my music avocation. I used to front a general business band and know how to read audiences and adapt to preferences. I am interactive during performances and welcome requests and sing alongs. Overall, I provide melodies that are music lovers of all ages relate to and enjoy.
