   About Right On John
"A one man wolf pack"

Flag Live, Flagstaff, AZ.



"Right On John is a one man wonder. Playing solo among a whole band's worth of instruments, John (last name McColley) wields some howlin', high energy blues and down-home, tambourine-timed rock'n' roll. His deep, twangy sounds are calculated but beautifully crude. Be sure to get a good look at ROJ's slide skills on the subverso fiddle."

Willamette Week, Portland, OR.



"He describes himself as a one man vaudeville songwriter...as far as the instruments that he plays, well, here are just a few: acoustic guitar, semi-hollow body electric guitar, subverso fiddle, drums, stompbox, harmonica and vocals.

And yes, he plays it all by himself, calling to duty every limb (usually at the same time) to create a thick, rootsy sound. Creating a full sound on your own without a slew of pedal loops, samplers, and other contraptions is no easy task. How does ROJ do it?

"Duct tape has a lot to do with it."

Also of note is ROJ's penchant for all things humorous, citing various comedians-including the late, great Bill Hicks and Fort Wayne favorite George Carlin-as some of his biggest heroes and influences. This connection to whip-smart social commentators not only adds to ROJ's music, but also to his one-of-a-kind personality."

Whatzup Weekly, Fort Wayne, IN.

see you tonight?







FEBUARY 12TH @ SAIL INN - HILLGRASS BLUEBILLY PRESENTS: THE 3RD ANNUAL "LOSER'S BALL" featuring: DEX ROMWEBER (of "Flat Duo Jets" fame), EXENE CERVENCA (of "X" fame) & OUR OWN "FLATHEAD"...


Coming soon to the Sail Inn Exene Flathead


Twenty years on from the FLAT DUO JETS, who created the template for stripped down rock and roll that’s been copped by the White Stripes and a thousand far less clever bands, Dex Romweber has teamed up with his sister Sara (Let’s Active, Snatches of Pink) for the first time on the debut album by the Duo, Ruins of Berlin. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dexter_Romweber




In August of 1976 Exene moved to Los Angeles, because she knew she had to get out of Florida.
She arrived in town with $80 in a paper bag and wound up living with 5 people in a 1-room apartment in Ocean Park. A short time later she began working in Venice in the library at the l
