Well, where do I start? I guess I’ll begin by mentioning that the first instrument I ever played was the tuba. That lasted about 3 years until I got to high school, where I abandoned the instrument in lieu of getting my ass kicked by the cool kids. Sometime during that era I also took piano lessons. Although I am grateful now, all I remember about them is that they were boring. It wasn’t until my senior year in high school that I discovered the guitar. I immediately fell in love with the instrument and proceeded to play it every chance I had. The first song I learned was Nirvana’s “Come As You Are".
After a while I started to write my own songs. At first they pretty much sucked, but like anything else they got better over time. After what seemed like an eternity, I finally decided to take a chance on the Orlando open mic scene. It was here that I cut my teeth on playing in front of mostly inebriated people who couldn’t have cared less if I was on stage or not. Although I didn’t realize it at the time, I was laying down the foundation of what would ultimately be my fan base.
It wasn’t long after this that I started my first band. In hindsight, I believe that we were quite possibly the worst band on the face of the earth. We rehearsed for a year straight just to play one show and then break up. It was then that I decided to become a solo artist so I could focus on making myself better. I immediately decided to take vocal lessons, and proceeded to get classically trained for 2 years. During this same period I started booking solo gigs at some of the clubs around town. Over a period of about 2 years, I went from playing dive bars to playing some of the best music venues in town. I also managed to find some fantastic musicians to back me up. They are much better than me and I’m comfortable with that. In May of 2006, I released my first EP “Anywhere But Here”. I then spent the next year and a half touring up and down the east coast supporting the record. It was by far one of the best experiences of my life, and I cannot wait to go out and do it again.
Which leads us to now: In May of 2008 I released my sophomore EP “The Spaces Between” It’s a collection of songs that are very dear to me and I hope that you'll give them a listen. Better yet, I hope you like them enough to give me your hard earned money. The record is available at my live shows, and on-line through cdbaby.com and I-Tunes. Before I go I want to mention that I cannot thank you enough for taking the time to read this, and for giving my music a listen . I love hearing from everybody so feel free to drop me a line whenever about whatever. Thanks for all of your support and I hope to see you at a show real soon.

Brilliant album!
author: Petr SavelWhat can I say? Super album! I love the songs!
Excellent addition to your collection!
author: RyanWow! Where to start? Every song on this album proves to be strong and unique. I love the bluesy, pop, unrestrained sound. To me, John has gotten better since his first release, (which was still great). Really love Undone, New York City, and All The Way To New Orleans. His vocals are so spot on and full of emotion. This is definitely an album that I can listen to all of the time!
