HOST REVIEWS

“Josh is a rare gem in the world of live music, seamlessly blending genres to create an experience that feels both fresh and familiar. With an impressive repertoire covering everything from country, rock, and hip-hop to classic rock, he’s got a song for everyone—and then some. His rap remixes add a unique twist, but what truly sets him apart are his original songs. They’re crafted with such skill and heart that they’re a must-download for any playlist. 

What makes Josh’s performances truly memorable is his engaging stage presence. He’s not just a performer; he’s a natural entertainer. Whether he’s playing guitar, whistling, or bringing out the harmonica, Josh pulls the audience in and keeps them involved. His interactive style—taking requests throughout the night—ensures everyone feels connected to the music. 

While Josh’s talent as a musician is obvious, it’s his songwriting that might be his most underrated gift. His originals have a depth that sticks with you long after the night ends. Over the years, it’s been inspiring to watch his growth as he expands his range and brings even more to the stage, willing to experiment and try new songs on the spot. 

If you’re looking for a musician who can do it all—and do it well—Josh is the one to invite. Every performance is a memorable experience, filled with moments that will make you a fan for life.”

"We had the absolute pleasure of having Josh perform at our wedding, and it was one of the best decisions we made for our special day. From start to finish, his performance added an incredible atmosphere to our celebration.

His voice is stunning, with a range that captivated our guests. And his guitar playing is phenomenal. He worked with us to choose songs that were meaningful to us, and the way he performed them made each moment feel even more special.

Throughout the planning process, Josh was incredibly professional and easy to work with. He was punctual, prepared, and responsive to our requests, which made the entire experience seamless. We did work together on a ceremony playlist in advance, he was able to learn the songs that were meaningful to us. Seriously, cannot thank him enough for the time he took to learn those for us.

Our guests (and us!) are still raving about his performance! If you’re looking for a talented, engaging musician for your wedding, we highly recommend Josh Chalfont. He truly made our day unforgettable."

"I don't have enough positive things to say about Josh! Not only is he incredibly gifted as both a performer and a songwriter, he also has a very charismatic stage presence. Josh's amazing personality shines through both on and off the stage, enabling his audience members to remain engaged at all times while in his presence.

At our wedding, my husband and I were honored to have Josh perform our first dance, as well as my dance with my dad. The other songs throughout the day/night were played by our DJ (who was sub-par to say the least), and Josh really stepped up to ensure that our not-so-great DJ didn't put a damper on our day. For instance, our DJ arrived completely unprepared from a technological standpoint, and Josh didn't have what he needed to perform optimally. Rather than throw in the towel, Josh on-the-spot came up with the brilliant idea to have all 160 of our guests surround us on the dance floor while he performed our song acoustically. 

Also, at the end of the night, when our DJ refused to play an encore we were all begging for, Josh voluntarily took out his guitar and performed the final song. To sum that moment up in one word: spectacular. The remaining guests surrounded Josh on the dance floor while we all sang along with him to "Mr. Brightside" by The Killers. I am getting teary-eyed just thinking about it! I am grateful for the DJ's hiccups and imperfections, because it allowed Josh to beautifully compensate in ways we never could have planned for. 

There is no better way we could have experienced our first dance, my dance with my dad, and especially the very final song of the evening. Thank you, Josh, for ensuring our wedding day was truly the best day of our lives!"

"We've had Josh play at our house the past 4 years (and already booked a 5th time) for a private concert. He is such a pleasure to work with and EVERYONE loves his music! He is extremely talented and helps make our annual event one that everyone looks forward to!"
