"Jeff James was absolutely amazing!!

"Jeff James was absolutely amazing!! He made our wedding ceremony all the more perfect!! Before the wedding, he came and sat with me for a while and went over everything that he was going to do during the ceremony. He did a great job reassuring me that everything would go perfectly. Jeff is an extremely talented guy! During the recieving line after the ceremony, everyone was asking me who he was, and where i had found him. I was very pleased with his performance, professional attitude, and great personality. I would recommend Jeff to anyone. He was wonderful!

"Jeff James brings a professional, joyfully entertaining performance every time he plays at our restaurant. He involves the guests, taking sing-along syle requests, while at the same time displaying incredible musical talent. I will continue to book Jeff James on a regular basis!"

"We'd love to have him back again."

"The ''Love Fest'' was a huge success this year and Jeff James was an exceptional addition to the venue. You have to hand it to him, he played outdoors in 90+ heat and humidity, with no breeze and held the crowd enthralled. He also hung in there for the ''one mores'' more than once. He is a fantastic musician and a wonderful person too. Everyone there enjoyed his music and getting to know him a bit better. He puts every part of himself into his music, and it is obvious that he enjoys playing and singing as much as the crowd enjoys listening to him. Jeff''s plays a wide variety of music so there is a song or two in his repertoire for everyone to enjoy. We''d love to have him back again. Thanks again Jeff ! We love you !"

"We strongly recommend Jeff to anyone and everyone."

"Jeff''s performance was outstanding!"

"Jeff''s performance was outstanding! We invited Jeff into our home for a private party and our friends have been raving about his music ever since.  He eagerly played a broad range of requests from both adults and teenagers and had them all enthralled by his voice and guitar talent. Forced inside by bad weather, Jeff was able to quickly set up and accommodate the desires of everyone at the party.  We almost didn't let him go at the end of the night/morning because everyone was so entertained!  In addition to his music, Jeff was a pleasure to get to know and have in our home.  I''d highly recommend his talents -- we can''t wait to have him back!"

"I just wanted to send you a very big thank you for the awesome job Jeff did playing at my Client Appreciation Event. My clients all had a great time and I am very sure that it was mostly due to Jeff 's musical talents and outgoing attitude. I really loved the song books and the huge variety of music that he sings and plays so well. I don't know if you realized it or not but over all there was over 300 people there that day and they all commented on the great job Jeff did. I really look forward to my next party and hope that Jeff will be able to do it again for me."

"Thank you, Jeff, for making our wedding reception such a success!"

"Jeff James was so easy to work with. We contacted each other a couple of times before our reception and he was very courteous and easy to work with. The day of the event he was prompt, courteous and his singing was fantastic. We had 75 people at our event and they had so much fun listening to Jeff. He had a great song list of various types of music. We asked him to stay an hour later and he had no problem with doing so. His fee was very reasonable, especially for his talent. Thank you Jeff for making our wedding reception such a success!

"Best Graduation Party Ever"

"Jeff James provided wonderful entertainment for our annual get together. Every one raved about his talent and thoroughly enjoyed the selection of songs that he played no matter the age. This was an outdoor setting and he was the perfect person for our venue. Jeff is extremely talented and our guests kept him busy well into the night. Thanks again, Jeff, for a great time....Let''s do it again !!!"

"Whenever you have the chance to see this masterful singer/songwriter...DO IT! You''ll never be sorry. Most anything you want to hear, he can do. Though you should request his originals..."Gonna Get Over You" is a personal favorite!"

--Sharlene Spencer - Inn Place Lounge, Club Manager ---Nashville, TN

"Most anything you want to hear, he can do."

"Twenty - thirty people must have told me how beautiful and fun my wedding was and how Jeff was a major reason."


"Music has always been one the greatest loves of my life. Before I was engaged to be married I was already making plans for my wedding. I wanted music that not just my wife and I would enjoy, but music that everyone in attendance at our wedding would like. There was never any debate over it. We wanted Jeff James to be the musician at our wedding. It did not matter that my wedding was in Minnesota and that Jeff was living in Tennessee at the time. No amount of miles was going to prevent me from having Jeff play at my wedding. A few years earlier I had heard Jeff play at my best friend''s wedding. For the rest of the night I heard compliment after compliment from all the guests. Jeff was a hit! And so it was no surprise that at my wedding I got the same kind of response. Twenty - thirty people must have told me how beautiful and fun my wedding was and how Jeff was a major reason."

--Josh Hodney -- Brooklyn Park, MN

Jeff is a great musician, a strong vocalist, and an extraordinary guitarist. He plays a wide variety of music, appreciated most by ages 30-60. His live looping show sounds like a 5 piece band, providing excellent value. Jeff is punctual, professional, respectful, and talented. He is my favorite entertainer.

--Jim Meyer - Crystal, MN

"Jeff is a great musician with a deep sensitivity to his audience."

Jeff is a great musician with a deep sensitivity to his audience. He played beautiful instrumental guitar for a fundraising event we held and created a level of warmth and intimacy that would have been lacking without his music and musicality. We would strongly recommend Jeff either to be the featured artist at an event, with his strong vocals, or to provide the instrumental artistic glue that holds people together seamlessly at a party or other gathering. Jeff was also kind, easy going, resourceful in working with our space, punctual, and provided excellent value. We liked everything about working with Jeff.

Paula M - St Paul, MN

Jeff is extremely talented. He is very welcoming and encourages the audience to pick songs and much of his performance turns into a sing-along. So much fun! His talent makes him sound like a complete band but at the cost of a single musician/entertainer!

"EVERY person raved about Jeff!"


Jeff was in one word: Amazing! He was extremely easy to work with, has an extensive playlist, and is an insane talent! We hosted a group 50th BD Party with a 70s theme and 80+ in attendance, and EVERY person raved about Jeff! He played on for hours and kept it fresh mixing across the ages. Will definitely book Jeff again!

--Tim N - Minneapolis

Jeff is an exceptional musician. It’s so fun to watch him work. I’ve seen Jeff probably 15 times. I’ve hired him 8 times for a private party and I’m still amazed at the quality of the music he creates. He is as good a person as God ever made! Do not miss an opportunity to see him perform!

John Miller - Isle, MN
