The Lost Boys have recorded two CDs, “Middle of Nowhere” and “Black Dog.” Both have been honored with a SAMMY Award (Syracuse Area Music Awards) for Best Bluegrass Recording. In addition, Middle of Nowhere, which contains all originals by John, was named the Number One recording of the year in all genres by the Syracuse New Times, and received a Highlight Review in Bluegrass Unlimited Magazine.

Black Dog was named one of the Top 10 CDs of 2004 by the Syracuse Post-Standard newspaper. One of John’s songs from Middle of Nowhere, “Mist of Memory,” has been recorded by both Jim Hurst and Missy Raines and by Lou Reid and Carolina. Lou picked another of John’s tunes, “Time,” as the title cut for his latest CD, with guest harmony vocals by Ricky Skaggs and Vince Gill. (According to John, Lou’s version is “as good as that song will ever be done by anybody.”) Yet a third tune from that CD, “Weary Cowboy,” has been recorded by Tony Trischka and Skyline.

John's solo CD, “The Closer I Get,” recorded in Nashville with Clay Hess, Randy Kohrs, Terry Baucom and other great bluegrass pickers, is now out and available for purchase. Currently, you can buy it at Barnes & Noble in DeWitt, at www.cdbaby.com, or by contacting John directly. Twelve new songs by John with some paint-peeling playing and singing.
