About J & R Music

INTL. Couple and Performing Duo! 10 Plus years of Professssional performing Live across the US and with International Cruiseline Experience.

Acoustic duo

Massillon

I grew up in the Canton, Ohio area and met Rachel while performing professionally in MI. We both earned our BFAs in musical theatre and have well over 10 plus years of professional performing experience. This ranges from theatre, pub singing, and some on-screen acting. We have performed across the northeast.(NY, MI, PA, OH, NC, etc.) For the past two years, we have been a featured musical duo for Royal Caribbean Cruiselines, performing live music and guitar on their private destination in the Bahamas. We perform a wide ranging repertoire that includes popular rock, pop, and past/current hits. I play guitar and Rachel plays piano and we both sing. We strive for excellence in delivering a highly trained, high octane, consistent, and fun product to patrons and guests everywhere!

J & R Music's Reviews

The Following are reviews regarding past J&R Music's participation in theatrical productions "With Jonnie Carpathios as an irresistible Clyde Barrow, we root for these wild little hellions. They are the shining representation of American freedom, for better and for worse, and sexy as all get out." - RevueM, Marin Heinritz. Read more here! "Jonnie Carpathios is a magnificent and commanding Cheech, the cool-as-a-cucumber gangster extraordinaire unexpectedly turned artiste." - RevueM, Marin Heinritz. Read more here! "Carpathios is convincing as an ordinary, even soft-headed, bloke, but lies on his feet like a devious kid... Watching John flirt with either wife is instant giggles. Watching them flirt with them in the same room at the same time is instant guffaws." - Battle Creek Enquirer, Nicole Mullis Read more here!

Jonnie and Rachel were nominated for best team-member of the month as entertainers on ROyal Caribbean Cruiseline's private island. While on the island they were performing two musical sets each day. These involved high energy, audience engaging, high octane performances.
