   About John McNicholas
John McNicholas is a singer/songwriter based in Atlanta, GA. John has honed his writing talents by writing, performing and releasing albums with alternative favorites Spiller, Lie, Misfortune 500 and most recently performing with indie-darlings Honeyrider, Dank and Sparkys Nightmare. He considers himself and unlikely songwriter in that his songs are character sketches of his life and the lives of people and friends around him. He doesnt so much write, as he observes and records his thoughts with music. His songs can be as awkwardly personal as those by Juliana Hatfield, as tongue-in-cheek as those by Fountains of Wayne and Ben Folds and as vivid and descriptive as those by Pete Yorn and Dean Wareham (Luna). John McNicholas, the band, mines a sound nestled somewhere between Fountains of Wayne, the Wallflowers, Ryan Adams and Pete Yorn. John has performed at WMNFs Tropical Heatwave, IPO New York, the In the Raw concert series and has have opened shows for a number of diverse artists like Marilyn Manson, Fastball, Cyndi Lauper, Superchunk, Patti Smith, the Mooney Suzuki and many others.

Yes, gotta love ol' Dave Brubeck!!! To me, that song sounds like rain-slicked New York City sidewalks in the fall! Or, a Lexus commercial.

I miss you!!!!!! Hope you and Lizzy-poo are havin' fun!

I'll be there March 14-19, so I'll miss your set, but maybe we can still meet up! Message me your number when you have a chance. I'm staying with a friend of mine, but she works most of the day on Friday so it'd be fun to pal around with ya if you're free!

Hey are you going to SXSW? I noticed that you're playing in Austin around that time, and as I'll be visiting too, it'd be fun to meet up!
