Did you ever hear a guitar player and think "this is special"?

Since John was 14 and holding his own on stage with experienced skilled musicians, people said John Paskoff is the real deal.

Roots style of music with a Blues Soul

John playing with his band or solo keeps customers in their seats and brings them in the door. He appeals to both old and young, white collar blue collar as long as they want to hear a talented musician bust out on guitar and share his soul with lyrics beyond his years. Influenced by Blues Legends from the Mississippi Delta and Texas and songs crafted from listening and learning from life John can deliver on stage.

Fans in Atlanta have turned out to hear John at the Northside Tavern, Fat Matts and Darwin's . These established clubs don't fake it, only outstanding musicians take the stage entertaining audiences who come back for more.

"I had never been to the Northside Tavern. I walked in and heard a guitar player play way beyond his years ...the crowd loved it...people were dancing and having fun ...I'm going back next week to hear him again."

-Georgia Tech student.

John has an original sound. His Roots music is lifted to another level by his exceptional guitar skills. His lyrics carry the tradition of a southern song writer....singing about sad and lonely times, trouble with women and struggle. Roots grounded in Blues makes for a mixture that is modern with a past.

"John's songs are most affecting. From the Back To Now CD his voice assumes the tone of Lou Reed in Bear Song, Throw Your Time Away and Lonesome as can be. The Blues/Rock song, I'm Coming to You, will make you order another beer."

-Thierry Bignamini, music critic

"John Paskoff is the real deal."

-The extraordinary Heaven Davis, blues singer

John and his team spread the word through his web page, Facebook and show promotions with flyers and local radio spots. John's music is sold at iTunes, Amazon and MySpace Music.

As an opening act or club gig discover John Paskoff playing in Asheville, Atlanta and throughout the southeast.
