For a big-time southern California talent, look no further than John Clinebell. This acoustic songwriter draws larger crowds to his Los Angeles shows by the week, and continues to gain online popularity through Myspace (myspace.com/johnclinebell) and YouTube (youtube.com/johnclinebell).
Having honed his craft as a street-performer on Santa Monica’s Third Street Promenade, John Clinebell offers a diverse, original set that ranges from upbeat, melodic rockers to somber indie ballads in a way that honors the spirited ups-and-downs of life. Live shows are characterized by John’s spirited presence, which exudes a deep reverence for that special connection between artist and audience.
Since SP&G Records signed John Clinebell, demand for his original music has ramped up, evidenced by his work as a songwriter for the network TV pilot Yellow Cry, and a recent showcase at the famous House of Blues on Hollywood's Sunset Strip. His debut album, Stomping Grounds, is available on iTunes and Amazon.
Hey John! How's life? How's music coming along? We just updated our page with new pictures, a new layout and a new bio, so if you're in the mood to check it out feel free! Hope you're warmer in Santa Monica than I am in the thirteen-degree wintery, snowy Rochester, NY!
Hey John! Great show last night! I'm glad I made it out and hopefully I didn't get too many other people sick, haha. I'm taking one more day to rest, so hopefully I will be all better by sunday for dball!
john clinebell! what the heck is up with your life these days?? i miss being able to come out and hear you sing! you should probably just come up to seattle and play a show :)
Good football this week. Fins visited by Evil Empire, Redbirds v Giants. Please punch a Laker fan in the face for me. Tell them it's from Mike in P-Town, they'll understand. Peace yo
It was great meeting you as well. I am trying to recover, but its going to take time. Lots to catch up on with school. It was a long drive back to school but worth every second. We all had a blast at NACA, and thanks for the props in your blog!!
