Influences
I would say growing up.......well I got my first guitar when I was 12. I kind of taught myself how to play guitar so I could sing out....I kind of was influenced by the singer-songwriter types...Cat Stevens, Joni Mitchell, Carol King, Janis Ian...
Vocally however that was a different story...I was influenced by the powerful rock and soulful voices......Linda Ronstadt, Melissa Manchester, Ann Wilson, Rosemary Butler, Robert Plant, Aretha Franklin, Donna Summer, I even have to admit that I have Barbara Streisand song books in my collection....she just keeps getting better....and I don't know how...it's incredible!!!...........
Way before my first guitar........I do remember that my sister's Beatle albums being very important to me growing up. I remember bringing one for "show and tell" when I was in first grade!!!! A little later in my preteen life I really loved Paul McCartney's solo phase before Wings..... Billy Joel is another awesome writer.
All of those past and still hitmakers...they really knew/know how to milk that 3-chord chord progression!!!!!
All of that music still is so awesome today......
Although I really look back at the masters......I would have to say that the songwriters of today that influence me would be definitely Etheridge, Mellencamp, Morrissette...straight forward songwriting....no gimmicks.... no need for too many bells and whistles!!!....Art is subjective...It's all good!!!!!!
Sounds Like
I think I have my own sound but I've been compared to many great ones..........Bonnie Raitt, Melissa Etheridge, Dar Williams, Jewel, Janis Joplin, Linda Ronstadt, Taylor Dayne...Ann Wilson of Heart..........even Cher!!!!!

Hi! Just wanted to make sure all my friends know that my 2nd horror novel SACRIFICE is now in stores everywhere, including Amazon.com! I hope you'll check out this debauched and demonic horror ride! Here are a couple reviews it's gotten so far:
“SACRIFICE is a full frontal assault on your senses. It is a dark, brutal, bloody and terribly frightening book. Everson went deep into some dark abyss to bring this book to the light of day.... I highly recommend SACRIFICE.” —Famous Monsters of Filmland
“John Everson manages in SACRIFICE to dispense buckets of blood, provide edgy perversity, and walk the tenuous tightrope of horror and sex without falling: It’s rather an amazing feat.” –Hell Notes
Ever wondered what to do in the event of a nuclear threat?
A while ago I found stuff that inspired me to make this film:
