   About John Latini
Winner of both the 2009 & 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.

Mr. Jones!  I trust you and your lovely wife properly observed your momentous occasion.  Congratulations!  (Mine was in Sep 2008.)  I must also say, the new pixels look mighty fine.  I think I'll go enjoy the refreshing flavor of a Fuzzy Zoeller now.
