This singer/songwriter from South Jersey is doing things differently. As a guitarist/pianist/arranger, he understands the importance of strong musicianship in the songs. While the quality of the songs are the most important, John emphasizes a tight and dynamic rhythm section and blazing guitar work. The idea behind the music is to present straight up pop influenced rock with a pallet of different colors presented in the form of virtuosic guitar playing, energetic drums and a blazing bass line. Of course, it's all about a great song with a nice hook and a catchy melody.

I made this slideshow... just for fun... to show you some of the great times I have had playing with HelenaMaria... enjoy!!!
john, there was something important i forgot to tell you today.
I can almost see it That dream I'm dreaming but There's a voice inside my head sayin, You'll never reach it, Every step I'm taking, Every move I make feels Lost with no direction My faith is shaking but I Got to keep trying Got to keep my head held high
There's always going to be another mountain I'm always going to want to make it move Always going to be an uphill battle, Sometimes I'm gonna to have to lose, Ain't about how fast I get there, Ain't about what's waiting on the other side It's the climb
The struggles I'm facing, The chances I'm taking Sometimes they knock me down but No I'm not breaking I may I know it But these are the moments that I'm going to remember most yeah Just got to keep going And I, I got to be strong Just keep pushing on,
There's always going to be another mountain I'm always going to want to make it move Always going to be an uphill battle, Sometimes I'm gonna to have to lose, Ain't about how fast I get there, Ain't about what's waiting on the other side It's the climb
There's always going to be another mountain I'm always going to want to make it move Always going to be an uphill battle, Sometimes you going to have to lose, Ain't about how fast I get there, Ain't about what's waiting on the other side It's the climb
Keep on moving Keep climbing Keep the faith baby It's all about It's all about The climb Keep the faith Keep your faith.
I had a lot of fun. I actually hadn't had that much fun in a long time. Thanks a lot for listening. It's really really appreciated. And just as an FYI ... I just dropped ashley off and went home. We have to do again. And I looooooovvvveeeeddd the place. I really did. Thanks John. You get cooler everytime I hang out with you. Peace.
School's OK, I still work Saturdays and I really enjoy it, which is pretty cool. I meet a lot of people and just absorb everything. :-)
The band's been on hold for quite a while now. The producer hasn't called us in for rehearsal for about 4 months now. I guess he'd decided to extend the summer break, haha! I'm completely OK with it, though. ;-)
I've been working on some recordings lately, hopefully the track I'd sent you will see the light of MySpace soon. I've completely re-recorded it, but it still needs some stuff done, so I'll wait until it's complete.
Haha! You totally should! I missed the show! I was in the hospital Sunday until about 4am this morning =( I'm ok though! Should be good to go...well....WELL enough to go to work tomorrow! In the meantime, I have to catch a re-run while in bed all day!!! ahhhhhh
Crazy, but true..."Vh1's Charm School: Rock of Love Girls"...and no I'm not kidding. Coming in October. Let's start guessing who's going to be on that one! I'm routing for our girl Daisy!
