John Hite is an American born musician, songwriter, and producer. He has been

performing live music professionally since he was a young teen. His main in-

strument is the piano, however he also plays guitar, and can pluck out a song on

just about any instrument he picks up. Hite studied music theory and liter-

ature in college, then went on to study voice under the watchful eye of Maestro

David Kyle. Kyle taught many superstars including

Danny Kaye and Bing Crosby. Kyle developed Hite’s

counter tenor voice and wide vocal range which enables

him to croon out smooth jazz, soulful blues or rough and

aggressive rock vocals. His solo show brings the hits

from the last 50 years to life.

“Music for everyone,” says Hite. His current solo show is called “Rock-n Roll and

Sappy Love Songs. “The show is a great mix of songs that span the decades of

Rock and Roll. There’s Elton John, Billy Joel, Lone Star, Christopher Cross, Burt

Bacharach, Styx, and lot’s more.”

“This show features just me and the piano. It is an

intimate show with some stories behind the songs I’ve

chosen to play.”

“John is such a versatile talent vocally and on

multiple instruments. Watching him perform is

exciting, entertaining, and enjoyable for crowds of

all sizes and musical tastes. …...He’s also nice to

look at.”

“Ultimately, music is

a conversation be-

tween the writers,

the performers, and

the listener’s heart.”

John Hite

“To play a wrong note

is insignificant; to

play without passion

is inexcusable.”

Ludwig Von

Beethoven

“I have been on both sides of the stage with John

Hite. I’ve hired him and have also been an audience

member. When he sings, he makes you feel as though

he’s singing directly to you, for you and because of

you. His talent is amazing! I’ve watched him take a

crowd of less than enthusiastic party goers, and get

them out of their seats! He will always be the first

person I call.”
