Was born August 12,1973 In the midwest but found his home in the south when he moved to Chattanooga, Tennessee in the summer of 1991. John is a singer/songwriter and began his musical career as a solo artist, playing coffee shops and a few local clubs in Chattanooga. Then in the summer of 2004, he teamed up with another local musician, Tim Neal, and together they formed an acoustic duo act that continues to actively work in local venues. When they added Phil Hodge and Mark Trundle to form the Mudville Mafia in 2006, they knew they had a hot rock band that will play one hell of a show and leave their audience wanting more.
