John is a native Rogers Parker whose two great loves are Chicago Blues and traditional Irish music. In his teens, he began sitting in with street bands at the Maxwell Street outdoor market and later played with Pat Rushing, Johnny Embry, and the Bad Boys Blues Band. John is also the lead singer and guitarist for Parting Glass, a local trio that plays Irish, bluegrass, blues, and other roots music.
John is performing Classic 1950s Chicago Blues in the styles of Little Walter, Jimmy Rogers, Muddy Waters, Jimmy Reed, and more, for Colvin House.
