A well-known performer in his home town of Madison, WI (John recently won a MAMA award for Folk/Americana Album of the Year for his first album, Dusk Came Slow), he is now touring the greater United States. Along the way he has played cities from Kansas City to New York City, Cleveland to Austin, TX, and was even invited to the 2007 Wakarusa Festival in Lawrence, KS. In July of 2007, John released his 2nd album in just two years, entitled Our Love Was Made For Canada, and is currently performing the brand new songs at acoustic venues... everywhere.
