Everything Almost Never Happens

The Best Years

This is still one of my favourite tracks. I had the basic idea many years ago, but it took a long time to finish. Enjoy listening!

A little groovy track that puts you (hopefully) in a good mood. Have fun!

Hello and welcome! I'm an independent composer, musician, music teacher and producer from Düsseldorf/Germany. I played guitar and/or keyboards in various (rock/prog/indie/fusion/whatever) bands for years. Now I spend most of my time hanging out in the studio, creating tracks for video and TV content. Trying to be versatile, mixing and matching all kinds of genres I like. And I still don't use gen AI for my music.

It was quite a long way to get to this place. But now I'm here. Just listen.

Songs from the heart, lyrics written by John Elburg.

I love to make music, but I can't sing, sinds I wrote many stories and lyrics over time, It was with the beginning of AI music programs, my way to begin sharing all I made in the past. Why keep it all to yourselfs ? 

I make all kind of music, but mostly ballads, this can be Rap, R&B, Soul, Blues and sometimes dance music. My preference is making music that makes people feel good, if they shed a tear when listing, I know I did well. 

My inspiration comes from life experience itself, and made It easy for me to write these lyrics. So I hope you will enjoy when listening to my songs. 

Thank you for reading and listening. Grtz. John Elburg

Our debut album 'Tabis' is out now.

We make pop records

My first music lessons began in 3rd grade on alto saxophone, and I subsequently taught myself how to play guitar and  bass guitar which led to playing in bands from the age of 16.  Ever since I have actively enjoyed entertaining others with music both in groups and solo.  I even had a special performance on The Gong Show (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9nZEdxlY8RY).

During the last 21 years I  have played more than 400 hundred times with the band Captains of Leisure.  I have also recorded 3 CDs as lead vocalist with the Indie band Go With Me.  Recordings of me singing with both bands are included here.

As a very active solo entertainer, my repertoire features many well-known songs (and a few one-hit wonders) of popular classic rock, yacht rock, and soft rock recording artists.

Serving as a music minister for my church, I also play music for local assisted-living residents as well as in a prison ministry program.

For band or solo/duo/trio booking engagements, please contact me at goodcaptains@comcast.net.  Thank you always for supporting live music entertainment.
