"...a lesson in
every hat!"

         This nationally acclained 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."

"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.
