Winner of the 2008 Detroit Blues Challenge, John Latini is a multiple award winning veteran singer/songwriter, performer, and above all, entertainer whose energy and presence are infused so deeply in his music that every song, indeed every style, becomes his own.
Growing up in a musical family in Queens, NY hearing everything from Hank Williams to Harry Belafonte, participating in the nightly guitar pull around the family table, and finally, seeing The Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show sealed his fate.
Since that time, the journey has been long and gratifying with explorations into many musical styles and collaborations with many great bands, players, songwriters and above all, friends.
Through it all, the one constant remains John's ability to "deliver" the song. A captivating storyteller and an exciting performer, he compels you to watch and to listen.
Indeed you will. I'm coming back to Michigan on Saturday to take care of some business and see my dad. I'm gonna stay in Detroit for a few days and then drive up to Curtis on Thursday morning.
Jonesy, You and JD's band rocked bigtime at the SpringFed Arts benefit--way-cool! So let's pick a Friday to do together in Ypsi. Email me when you can: info@davidnefesh.com. Have a great week. Nef
