"We don't even remember how John Esquivel started playing piano at the Old
Naples Pub. He's just always been there. Some say he was a dashing, international
spy, tracking down some dangerous arch criminal. Others say he's a romantic international
celebrity, living incognito a la Casablanca. All we know is, he can really tickle
those ivories on that old saloon piano and, believe us, that ain't easy tickling." "
Esquivel launches into another string of songs. Alternating between classical
and jazz, with the occasional pop number thrown in. Esquivel is one of the reasons
locals and long-time tourists flock to Old Naples Pub” --Jonathan Foerster

"When a six foot seven inch guy walks up to you and says he wants to play
his "harp-guitar" at your place every week, you listen. And we did.
(never heard of a "harp-guitar?" Neither had we.) And we've been listening
ever since."
“…a breath of fresh air. Listening to him perform is a guitarists
delight.” --Peter Roth / The Ithica Times
