Mary Gauthier is a major influence these days. Eddie Vedder, Death Cab for Cutie, Ryan Adams, Damien Rice, John Meyer, Dave Matthews, Ani DiFranco, Cold Play, David Gray, Jimi Hendrix, All the great local musicians (too many to mention) I have ever met or shared a stage with and many, many more to come.... and Judas Iscariot for such a cool last name.
Sounds Like
that varies from one person to the other but the most interesting comparison I have ever heard was
"If Eddie Vedder and Tracie Chapman had a child, it would be you!"
you decide......
Born in Paris, France, John grew up listening to Billy Joel, The Police, and Serge Gainsbourg, "the dirty mouth of French pop". After moving to Massachusetts at a young age, John was introduced to Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Minor Threat, and Iron Maiden. These new sounds became an escape from what John would later draw inspiration from. After forming a band at the age of 14, John played his first gig one year later. This was the starting point for many bands to follow.
Now a solo musician, John has released several recordings and has shared the stage with both local and national musicians. John has captured audiences with his ability to keep his performance raw and tangible. This emerging artist resonates with the passion for story telling and brutal honesty. His energy is contagious and his true talents of expressing emotions are evident.
John has just released a second album titled "What Lies Between". John is currently working on new material that will be only available by download.
