Streetbeats
John started his professional career in Sacramento, California with the popular Northern California band, The Sharks. He is a creative genius who embraces each performance as if it were his last. His music has taken him the world over. John has had the pleasure of performing with such artists as Eddie McGee (Tower of Power), Ginger Baker (Cream), Jerry Martini (sly and the Family Stone), and many others. He also performed in the Hawaiian Reggae band True Colors with Boom Gaspar keyboard player for Pearl Jam, with The Williamsport Symphony Orchestra in a "Tribute to Motown", and James Brown drummers Clyde Stubblefied and John "Jabo" Starks.
Relying on his versatility, John has played every style of music from Blues, Country, R&B, Jazz, Reggae, Classic Rock and Metal. His main influences come from James Brown, Parliament/Funkadellic, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, Carlos Santana and Prince. Some say the "F" in his name stands for Funk-Master! Come judge for yourself, the downright nasty edge John brings to his playing. This man is as fun to watch as he is to listen to! "A SHOW WITHIN A SHOW!"
