Most often I perform solo, but I was joined by Seth Connelly, Matt Leavenworth, Don Croad, and Valerie Thompson on "Letters Home" and recently I've teamed up with gifted musicians such as Mike Gooley, Al Cath, Mark Bridge, and Perry Desmond-Davis on some gigs. Both recorded and live, how lucky can a man get?

I am inspired by Shindell, Dylan, Townes, Springsteen, and the memory of my mother loving to sing along with her AM car radio. The Bank Street Band, Kate Campbell, Seth Connelly and Dick Pleasants have also been important teachers and influences.
Neye Benziyor?
Some have said I remind them of John Prine, Bob Dylan, or Tom Rush.

My songs tell stories, and in "Letters Home" I try to provoke your thoughts as well as leave you with words and music that linger. To this day I am inspired by my mother loving to sing along with the car radio. When the great Texan George Brown moved to Baltimore and I heard him sing “Pancho and Lefty,” I knew I would play. He taught me how, and also that music is for bringing people in, not excluding.
Hi, John, love to visit your site and hear you there; hope to hear you live when I come back to New England for a visit June 24 to July 19 or so. Can you come out and play? Judith and I are just loving it down here in Fayetteville AR, which is a funky hidden jewel of a place. Mike Shirkey of www.goodfolk.org was happy to get that signed copy of your CD when I stopped in there to hear one of his house concerts recently; hope he'll blast you out on his show, The Pickin' Post, on KUAF 91.3 National Public Radio from the University of Arkansas here. . . the longest-running show on the radio hereabouts, I think. Sorry this message so long -- not the best "Letter Home" I know of. . . stay tuned. Ellis
Whoops - hit submit too soon... that wasn't all I was going to say. I wanted to say that I loved your performance last night as well - as I do all of them, and look forward to the next time we can collaborate together. See you soon I'm sure...
Hey John, Thanks so much for coming to the big show. It was so nice to see so many other great song writers in the crowd. You are the absolute man. - Dan
You sounded great last Thursday at Amazing Things. Nicely done, and thanks again for having me to join you on Liar's War. I love that tune. We'll see ya soon. Joe
Hello John, Thanks for the happy birthday wishes. Yes, last night at Amazing Things was, well... Amazing. A birthday for the Birthday Hall of Fame. Will catch you again real soon. -Tom
Thank you so much John, for even thinking of coming down. It absolutely was a magical evening, but I have no doubt there will be many more with the hooligans :0). I hope you had a great night with your family and I'll look forward to seeing you soon. Peace and light, Lori
Hi John, thank you so much for the add and the nice message. It's a must to have those three on top. Your quiet and intense songs are so beautiful and I like your experienced and mature voice. Beyond Our Time is a special song. So is Letter Home. All my best wishes to you. LB
Thank you for your generous support on Saturday night. I was really glad to see you there. It has been great to get to know you and your music. Hope to see you soon. kf
John, thank you so much for coming out to support Kim, Katie and me. It was great to see some familiar faces in the audience. And, congrats on "Track of The Day" honors over at Garageband. com. All the best, /marc

Thanks for making my child want to listen to something other than that screamo music.....Thanks for not thinking I'm a pain... (ha ha ha ) Thanks for being you!
Excellent evening Wednesday last (and every time you come out to play at The Pleasant Cafe, of course)! Great pics posted of our new harmonica-wiz, and do not be surprised if everyone wants you to back them up from now on...thanks for your music and presence, it means so much, John!
John, thank you SO much for supporting 'The Hooligans Four' at the Nameless! It was wonderful to have you there, and made the night even more memorable. See you soon, friend! ~(:>) P
Good to catch up with you again my friend at AT. While I'm wearing laser tracks in your CD "Letters Home" there always something special about seeing and hearing you live. See you soon!
Hi John, Thank you so much for your wonderful comment....I have seen you a few times now, and I'm always impressed with your warm, sincere and skillful performances. I'll truly look forward to crossing musical paths with you anytime. Peace and light, Lori
