Biography

I appreciate you taking the time to listen and am always interested in your feedback. Started playing guitar at age 10 and wrote my first song at 12 and have not stopped since. I enjoy trying to develop as a writer and performer. I play in several bands, never have enough time to write and record as much as I would like to. ICOMPS for me is a musical oasis - one I am grateful for and always excited to visit.

DO YOUR JOB!!!!! June 17, 2008
My funny friend Pete took advantage of the writer's strike out in LA and got some actor friends and film crew to shoot this Springsteen spoof. He asked me to write and record a Boss parody about "getting back to work!"

Days and Nights in Tune Village April 8, 2007
The bass player in my rock band was describing Icomp to another musician the other night when we were rehearsing and when he said "Yeah, John calls himself Boss Hook and he really digs things at his Tune Village." I couldn't say it better myself.
