About
John Hunter is a singer-songwriter for hire in Melbourne, VIC.
John Hunter writes his own. Around 250 proven original songs, blues, country and folk, played solo on guitar and harmonica in something close to a one man band. He's found the songs land with audiences in their twenties just as readily as with retirees. This works best in small rooms, with minimal amplification or none at all, where people have come to hear something new rather than to hear the hits. Halls and outdoor bookings will need hired equipment. What you get from him is punctuality, respect and no time wasting. And public liability insurance.

The show
John Hunter plays his own songs, not other people's. Country, blues and folk, guitar and harmonica together, and the songs have been road tested rather than written last month. What he offers alongside that is plain: he turns up on time, he treats the room and the staff with respect, and he doesn't waste anybody's afternoon. He's clear that a large formal wedding reception isn't the right room for him, and that honesty is worth more than an act that says yes to everything.
On the day
Small rooms are where John Hunter belongs, and he can play them with light amplification or none at all. Halls and outdoor bookings are a different matter. The space swallows an acoustic guitar and a harmonica, so equipment will need to be hired for those, and that's worth sorting well before the day rather than the week of.
