John, hails from the town of Collingswood, New
Jersey. His family moved to Florida when he was
7.
At age 12, his parents bought a piano and he
started lessons. Within the first month of
lessons it was obvious that John had found his
calling.
At 17, he heard a friend playing a 5-string,
bluegrass banjo and his love affair with folk
music began. He developed a proficient technique
on six instruments within the bluegrass venue and
was looking for something different. He found it
in the Traditional Irish music of wife Roisin.
This music has taken him to new heights.
