'paying' gig when he was only 12 years old, and hasn't stopped sharing his
musical talents since. His sweet and full bodied tenor sound compliments
his down and dirty
sax playing, his soulful style, and is reminiscent to that of Lenny Picket and

Luther Kent, Vince Vance, The Coasters, The Platters, The Marvelettes, and has
shared the stage with such well known acts as Irma Thomas, T. Graham Brown,

the past few years for John was performing at the Montreal Jazz Festival, in
Montreal
,
