Hi, I’m John.
I just released a new CD called 'Attic Window'. I’m working on an LP to be released later this year.
I released my second solo CD, 'Some Glitter', last year and had a great tour in NY and through Sacramento and the Bay Area. Check out the blogs on this page about the album and the tour.
In ’01 I created Milk Voice Records with Samuel Santangelo and released my first album, 'Clouds Today'. Milk voice is what you get when you eat cheese or drink milk and you get that bubble and you sound like Fred from Scooby Doo. When you get milk voice, don’t swallow. Start singing. My buddy Geoffrey says, in reference to 'Clouds Today', that I write great break up songs. Thank you Geoffrey. I've had some solid people help me to produce my material including my buddy from my hometown of Syracuse, Samuel. He’s a one-man party and a Muppet version of Macgyver.
Samuel and I took off with Jay Ruby and The Carpetbag Brigade in the summer of ’04 for four months. We performed in a stilt-walking ballet from LA to British Columbia. It is, so far, the best summer of my life. I’d like to tell you I was one of their stilt characters, painted up and taller than Voltron, but I’m content to say that I composed an hour long soundtrack for them and played it live with David Jacob on kit all summer. This is an excerpt of Mud Fire at a multi-cultural festival in Monterey Mexico in '07. Tyler Lusk is playing drums on this recording. I still work for them from time to time but mostly I take pleasure in hopping in their presence. I completed the material for my concept album in ’06 and I hope the brigade will choreograph something to it someday.
The Mudfire Soundtrack and the concept album are two more releases I look forward to sharing.
Thanks for your interest. be well! - John
you can check out my random posts at my online journal and twitter. Some of my material can be downloaded for free along with LOTS of other artists on a few compilation discs at this cool site called daydream generation.

Just thinkin' of how much I miss you and The Humboldt Clan. Thick in mist of schoolness I am. I saw Living Colour last week and I'm trying to go see The Butthole Surfers next week in NOLA. I can't wait to live in that beautiful city in a few years. Hope The Creamery gig was a hoot and tell all that I love em'. Love ya.
KNock'm dead out there in nuevo york brother. I think about you and your music more often than I see ya. Hope all is well. I think I'm gonna move into my back house and be a teacher one day.
