John Lehman

John’s powerful, clear and rich speaking voice makes him an excellent choice to emcee events, and he has a passion for all styles of music. Warm and genuine with a great sense of humor, John loves to see a crowd having fun!

As a small child, he would stand in front of his grandparents' stereo and "conduct" to the recordings of Arthur Fiedler and the Boston Pops Orchestra; he has a dim memory of actually getting to go backstage and meet the late maestro when he was about 4. He played the clarinet in his grade school band, and began playing the
guitar when he was 13, having learned about rock music. John studied jazz performance guitar at Chicago's American Conservatory of Music, and was the guitarist for local big band The Memphis Knights for 3 three years.

John and Tommy have known each other for more than 20 years; John was among the crew tapped to work the inaugural DingoFest in 1999, and continued to work the music festivals until 2003. When Dingo made the move to the DJ/Event Host market, John was a natural addition to the team!
