I'm John (he/him) and I love collaborations! Please comment below FIRST and follow up with an email using the link in my profile if you'd like to get connected. That should ensure that I don't miss it!

I'm a singer/songwriter living and performing in Minneapolis. My primary instrument is guitar (electric or acoustic), but I can also provide bass, vocals, mixing, and general songwriting. I'm fortunate to play in a local band and collaborate with other local musicians to write, record, and produce original music. I'm heavily influenced by #90s alternative rock since it's what I "grew up on". I'm not sure if I'm stuck in it, or it's stuck in me, but it definitely pervades much of what I create.

I've had a FAWM account since 2013 but have ended up skipping many years due to another time-consuming passion: filmmaking. FAWM 2023 was very successful for me (over 20 songs!) and I'm looking forward to writing and co-writing and listening to all your fabulous music!

Some of my FAWM songs are linked in my profile above. I also had a personal challenge to use every one of my guitars (and failed). If you and I work together on something, I'm happy to let you choose which guitar I use. Here's a link to a photo album of them in case one provides inspiration: https://photos.app.goo.gl/YVGMuxuR8PqD4bzy5

Let's rock!

Haha, this picture says all! Thanks for encouraging to restring my guitars. I won't do cause I'm taking a pause from playing. I'll do when I get back :)

Hello! Sent you an email a few days back re: the ping pong challenge. Still game?
[avatar]
... @jlampson - what do you think? - something 'freestyle' with tempo all over the place or something (MIDI/24PPQ/analogue clock) synchronized for our 'Random Collaboration' https://write.fawm.org/forums/1904 ?...

I made an acoustic melody for the shark song but would love it if you still want to do something with the lyrics. 🦈
