专辑简介

Son of a regional folk troubadour in rural Illinois, John Clinebell grew up around participatory crowds and tight vocal harmonies. It's probably not surprising that John quickly fell head-over-heels in love with writing songs while attending college. Since moving to Los Angeles in 2005, John’s become a featured Koffeehouse artist, opened shows for major label pop acts like Toad The Wet Sprocket and Rhett Miller (of the Old ‘97s), and worked with producers Andrew Bush (Jimmy Webb, Peter Case, Bob Dylan), Jared Kotler (of platinum-selling Marcy Playground), Luke Tozour (who’s engineered Katy Perry) and Ronan Chris Murphy (King Crimson). He's also recorded at Westlake Studios and AfterMaster Recording Studio.

John has received multiple ASCAPlus Awards for his contributions to the local scene. He is in the process of recording a new full-length alt-country album with his No Bridges collaboration (with Ari Blitz). He was commissioned to translate poet Tony Barnstone’s prize-winning book Tongue of War into an album of folk songs. The album is now available on Spotify and CDBaby. Videos for John’s songs “The End” and “Hold On” have been featured on Yahoo! Music. And his most recent studio album, Make It Land, spun on 150+ college radio stations in 2010. In the spirit of service, John volunteers with The Art of Elysium, a non-profit whose goal is to help children who are battling serious medical conditions by providing them with entertainment and creative workshops. He also leads the Agape Road Show at Fireside Convalescent Hospital, spready joy in the form of music to seniors who are in transitional housing after receiving medical treatments.
