Discography:

Quiet World (2014) is a collection of 16 acoustic guitar based, mostly wordless songs. Many of these songs grew out of John’s role as an Artist-in-Residence.  This project offers a musical perspective of the experiences and emotions observed in people battling serious illness. The music - acoustic guitar keyboard, voice, flute, button box and percussion - conveys a strong sense of hope, optimism and joy, even in the midst of difficult circumstance.

Motionography (2006), is about movement: flight, swimming, dancing - places: the moon, oceans, stars; communication: the non-verbal, solo guitar type. The sound of one guitar playing, fingers dancing, sounds splashing, sonic canvas, air art, here–gone, wooden heart made flesh, steel strings spring to life. The sound of one guitar laughing, of joy bouncing, strengthening, calling, inviting to the dance. The sound of one guitar moving, across the star field accompanied by dancers, singers, swimmers, writing rhythm, resonating life.

Capture the Night (2004) is a collection of Christmas classics arranged for solo acoustic guitar. "Tinsel" John's original composition was selected for Christmas week two years in a row on NPRs, on-line program All Songs Considered. This music was re-recorded and re-released as Music for December in 2008.  

Stories (1999).  John's acoustic guitar is joined by bass, percussion, voice and flute. Cuts from this disc have received radio play on hundreds of stations across the U.S.  “John's delicate fingerstyle guitar melodies are quite captivating, taking the listener into a world that is teeming with optimism, joy and friendly Stories. Highly recommended to all lovers of acoustic guitar music." -  Musical Soundscapes

The Journey - Places Real and Imagined (1996).  “Echoes,” a nationally syndicated radio program hosted by John Diliberto, played tracks from the Journey during 1996 and 1997.  The title cut from “The Journey" was included on Volume 3 of a sampler disc released by Acoustic Music Resource.  “House by the River,” also from “The Journey,” was included on a sampler disc compiled and internationally distributed by Poetman USA.  Four songs from this CD were in continuous rotation on the "Atmospheres" Digital Cable Network for several years.
