In a world where stress, electronic devices, fast foods and fast living can have the crushing upper hand Master Guitarist, John Carey, brings one of America’s greatest treasures of soul music. Thrilling audiences of all ages with his kaleidoscope of intimate soulful sounds from the deep moaning blues from the South to sultry R & B, to haunting mystical tunes, John Carey delivers the backbone of America to the people with a sensual soul-stirring impact—a resonating impact that brings each member of the audience “back home.” His unique progressive broadband approach articulates the history of soul through his different styles, always ringing out the beauty that transports his audiences straight into the emotionally captivating essence of soul.
Like a lotus grows out of the mud John Carey emerged from his humble roots in the gang-infested slums of Chicago to be an exemplary artist. Born, John Russell Carey, in Chicago, Illinois, John’s first musical experience began in his beloved mamma’s kitchen where the blues was always the staple ingredient playing in the background. As a single parent she would manage to prepare delicious soul food for John. Noticing John’s interest in the blues at an early age she would give him a cereal box to strum. Thus began the path of the remarkable guitarist who can play like Jimi Hendrix in one moment and seamlessly like B.B. King in the next.
John continued to grow into a young man playing the guitar, then attended the Chicago Conservatory where he honed his musical knowledge. He went on to develop his craft playing electric guitar, keyboard, and percussion opening for such greats as the Chi-lites, Natalie Cole, George Benson and Earth, Wind and Fire. An artist of unswerving historical musicological conviction and supporting the long view of blues, jazz and pop music John Carey is constantly giving back as a Master Teacher doing his part in kindling, encouraging, and supporting young musicians in the pursuit of their passion for playing music in all its variations. With such a pedigree and devotion John offers the listener emotional comfort, sensuality and grounding in an otherwise chaotic world. Given his extraordinary depth combining grit and elegance so characteristic of his artistic expression it is no wonder why the critics are considering John Carey to be “preserver and educator of the origins and progress of soul.
THIS IS A IMPORTANT MESSAGE
From The John Carey Xperience
America is in crisis, with the War, Healthcare, Katrina,
Midwest floods, Foreclosed homes, Unemployment,
Escalating food prices, Oil prices at record highs, and our American soldiers
(Wounded Warriors) coming home with little to no benefits.
We are asking for your help in a time when our American government
has turned its back on the disadvantage, and basically said you have to help yourself...
So we ask the question...WHAT CAN YOU DO WITH 99 CENTS?
Can you buy a cup of Starbucks coffee (NO?)
Can you buy a bottle of soda, water, or juice, (NO?)
Can you help American soldiers, (Yes!)
For ONLY 99 cents you can help American soldiers regain some dignity,
as they struggle to pay medical bills, that they incurred for fighting a war
that was not about the reason they went to go fight for..
Your 99 cents will also help Flood victims in crisis,
Katrina victims, and Foreclosed home victims.
This is the time to Stand up and be COUNTED.
AMERICA YOU HAVE TO DO SOMETHING.
Please take a look at the new video Mr. Whitehouse,

Please send this out to all of your friends and family.
