singer / songwriter / guitar picker
bio
John’s love of music is profound…and it shows. You can hear the passion in his lyrics, his voice, and in his style of playing guitar. With inspiration from rock, folk, country, and blues, John is creating his own songs, style and sound…and he is excited to share it with a fast-growing following!
listen
“I have always loved listening to all types of music every day. It’s what helps me when I’m going through a rough time, calms me down, and helps me relax. Music is what I go to…whether I’m playing or just listening.”
original work
“I love writing music so much because I can put the way I’m feeling in that moment right into a song and play it as many times as I want to. I love how I can let all of my emotions flow right into a sheet of paper and turn it into a song.”
connect
John is always excited to connect with his listeners, other musicians, and performance opportunities. If you are interested in his music, he would love to hear from you!
