John is a full time troubadour traveling the country some 50,000 miles a year playing over 150 dates. He has also toured Ireland several times in the last 5 years. "...growing, glowing reputation - beautiful, high tenor voice, excellent guitar playing, and spirited, uplifting songs. His music is a contemporary embodiment of the folk tradition - open-hearted, unpretentious, grounded in the personal, yet always accessible and universal. Nice Stuff." - Sing Out!
