   About John Pippus

I play:

acoustic blues, folk/pop/soul

Sometimes I use open tunings, other times I sing a capella or use my harmonica. I strum, fingerpick, do what whatever it takes to get the song across.

Added to over 100 stations

at INDEPENDENT ARTISTS COMMUNITY.

"Best of the Week"

and

"Track of the Day"

at GarageBand.com

Included on four compilation CDs, including two that have gone over to Canadian troops in Afghanistan, and one that is a benefit for The War Child Project (Holland)

Managing Friday Music Nights at Tree's Organic Coffee House (450 Granville St.)

Cool venues I've played include: The Bluebird Cafe (Nashville), Tractor Tavern (Seattle), SteelBridge SongFest (Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin), The Yale Hotel (Vancouver), Canon's Gait (Edinburgh), Bruxelles Bar (Dublin) and The Newtown Festival (Wellington NZ).

New CD "This City" played on: CBC Radio (Canada), CITR (Vancouver), CJSF 90.1FM (Vancouver), CFUV (Victoria), CFBX (Kamloops), CKUA (Edmonton), CKXU (Lethbridge), CIUT (Toronto), INDIECAN (Toronto), Fusion Radio (Scarborough, Ont.), 100.3 Sound FM (Waterloo, Ont.), CFOU (Quebec), Samm Brown's 'For The Record' on KPFK (Los Angeles), 91.7 KOOP FM (Austin, TX), Radio Six International (Glasgow), Radio Venray (Amsterdam), Spirit 91.1FM (Australia).

Earshot says of the title track: "...sounds like the midnight musings of a man coming to terms with the outcome of his life. It’s beautifully raw and makes you feel like you’re eavesdropping."

RootsTime (Belgium-based site) says of "This City": "Er is een vrij uitgebreide variatie tussen de songs, soms speels zoals in “Oh Oh Oh” dat hij samen met zangeres Nat Jay brengt, soms zeer ernstig zoals in “My First Mistake” en “The Ending That You Fear”. In “Yes We Can (Dream)” vertelt hij in spoken word-stijl zijn persoonlijke ervaringen rond de verkiezing van president Barack Obama en de creatie van hoop en verwachtingen bij de Amerikaanse bevolking. Zijn finger-picking akoestische gitaarspel voert de boventoon in enkele andere liedjes als “Don’t Want To Think About That” en titeltrack “This City”.

(That's in Dutch, folks)

Hello, after an unfortunate hiatus, the reasons for which are probably best not gone into here, we finally have some new music on the AUK MySpace site. For your listening pleasure this month we offer Nathan Oliver, Conrad Ford, the irrepressible Todd Snider and the delightful Beccy Owen. Don't forget too, for those of you within striking distance of Leicester, Electric Dustbowl 2 on 19 September.
