This nationally acclaimed musician and teacher, John Kelleher,
along with his 12 string guitar and his unique collection of costumed hats,
masks, and disguises, educates and inspires his audiences through his
spirited and interactive style of music. His exciting and unique method of
teaching and empowering children has been greeted with overwhelming
approval and support from school administrators, teachers, health educators,
parents, police departments, and most importantly, the children.
             In every show the message is clear; each one of us can make
a difference, in school, in our community, and in the world.

        "Wow...what a show! John is a one of a kind performer with the 
 power to inform, involve, and lift the spirits of his audience. He's the best."

"Sesame Street, Mouseketeers, and MTV all rolled into one…                                              
 Verve, energy, and  showmanship.”
                                 The Providence Journal       .

"...engaging, uplifting, and fun. The audience was clearly enthralled.
What a blast!"

"Johnny the K is everything one looks for in a children's performer. I've
never seen a performer develop a trust with an audience so quickly.
He confides in an audience as you would a best friend, with openess and
enthusiasm. Johnny is a terrific vocalist and guitarist with a wide range
of material. His message of self-worth woven through the songs and
playful antics is truly heartfelt. I expect Johnny will become a familiar
presence here at Scholastic Inc.
