As a solo artist John sings with a lot of energy and each song has it's own uniqueness. John likes to think of each performance as an event, a special moment in time or a journey. Performing with an acoustic guitar and harmonica strapped to his neck, John can sometimes sound like a whole band, adding the rhythmic bass lines on top of the delicate leads, and bending harmonica notes while singing background harmony parts to his own melodies. Did I mention he plays tambourine with his feet. John has developed vocal and guitar styles of all the artists mentioned above with songs that are all the way from humorous tongue in cheek to songs of the heart, songs of love, songs of growth and change, songs of joy and hope, songs of worship, thanksgiving, and songs of the soul and spirit.
