Oregon based, classically trained singer-songwriter and solo guitarist John Johns has been performing up and down the west coast for 15 years as a solo artist, one-man-band, bassist, drummer and lead guitarist for over 40 different projects. As a soloist, his blend of soulful vocals with virtuosic guitar riffs and primal, foot-stomping rhythms are the reason many describe his original music as – the darkside of American Folk music.
