*I do not own or make any of the songs found on this page*

Having practiced for the studio recording of the five songs to be included on the upcoming EP "Face To Face", singer songwriter John Thayer states "I'm very pleased with the way the project turned out. The songs are crisp, melodic, and pop oriented."

"Face To Face" was recorded in Portland at "The Commune" which is owned and operated by producer Rob Daiker (Katy Perry, Meredith Brooks, Fame Riot).  The album was mixed in Los Angeles by GRAMMY award winning producer Greg Collins (U2, No Doubt, Rob Thomas).

Thayer has nothing but great things to say about his co-producer. "Rob did a great job co-producing the project and Greg Collins did his usual brilliant job mixing the record.  Rob is very creative and has a knack for finding the right texture and sound for the right moment in the song.  Rob is pretty laid back but is not afraid to voice his opinion when it counts.  He picks his spots."  

Face to Face is a follow up to his debut EP titled "Laurel Street"  John's younger brother is Tommy Thayer in the rock band KISS. 
In October, 2013, John released Laurel Street on EON Records.  This Indie Pop production has its roots at the Oregon Coast where the artist has cultivated his musical sensibilities in the artist community of Cannon Beach where Thayer has a summer home.  

2015 sees the release of John’s new EP titled Take It Back.  As a follow-up to the critically acclaimed release, Laurel Street, this six-song collection is an eclectic production using both live strings and brass horns to compliment John’s guitar, bass and drum ensemble.  The Indie Pop style is reminiscent of Laurel Street, but the songs take on a deeper sophistication with lyrics that probe a bit deeper into the psyche.  

Take It Back was co-produced by the Laurel Street team of Bobby Krier and Micah Tawlks in Nashville.  The record was mixed by Greg Collins (No Doubt, Matchbox Twenty, Rob Thomas), in Los Angeles.  John’s brother Tommy is the lead guitarist for the iconic rock band KISS.
