Showcase Description
To date John has released 5 full length records all of which have been accepted with critical acclaim, radio airplay, charting success and album sales. In April of 2024 John will be releasing a book of lyrics and stories from the road culminating the first 20 years of his Canadian career. This book will be the focal point of his 2024/25 touring schedule.
John is as independent as an artist can possibly be acting as his own agent, writer, producer, tour manager and publicist. From intimate songs about love and theft to upbeat Heartland rock songs inspired by his touring in the US John's flavouring reaches young, old and casts beyond a dozen genres. Folk, Rock, Americana, storytelling, humour and curated sets for each venue have to date been the recipe that keeps John on the road and highly sought after. If you like John Prine, Tom Petty, Bob Dylan, Groucho Marx, Old Films and 60's counterculture you'll be mesmerized by John's band, show and professionalism.

Showcase Question Response
Community Educational Outreach
Being an advanced touring artist with over 150 tour dates per year, 5 full length albums and running my own booking agency I have added school production to our touring itinerary which involves performing in the round at local high schools to talk about the arts, songwriting and touring and to involve local songwriters or upcoming musicians at the schools. I have insight on touring in Canada and the US, insights on Visa's, tour promotion, album release publicity, social media and studio production.
Would this artist like to be considered for a Spotlight/Speed Pitch if they are not selected to showcase?
yes
Promotion Publicity
Through publicity, radio promotions and interviews I usually add a few mediums to the tour promotion side prior to and during the tour. On average at least one radio interview per town/city along with reaching out to local papers and social media. John's extensive touring schedule brings him to Montana several time a year where he has a long list of acts he can team up with and collaborate with, in the round, opening acts and curated tour schedules with Montana performers.
