Hey everyone, I'm John. Since 2014 I've been an Adjunct Instructor of Guitar at Belmont University, located in the heart of Nashville, TN. I regularly perform across the country with Nashville-based bands and artists. Currently I tour with an incredibly hard-working band called The 12 South Band. From 2013 to 2015 I was lead guitarist and MD for American Idol alum Josh Gracin. In the past I have performed on stage with some awesome people, such as Amy Grant, Ronnie Dunn, Gary Levox, Danny Gottlieb, Chester Thompson, Kristin Kelly, Maynard Ferguson, Paul Galbraith, Laura Bell Bundy, and even the late comedian Gallagher! I also had the honor to open for Little Richard, Earth Wind & Fire, Laurence Juber (guitarist for Wings), The Coasters, Norbert Putnam, NEEDTOBREATHE, Craig Morgan, Keith Anderson, Antigravity, Freckled Sky, Blue Rodeo, and many others. Over my 20+ years as a working musician, I have recorded nine albums with four different original bands, along with various session and demo work. Lately I have gotten into composing and producing original content for sync publishers.
