John Sheldon, a professional guitarist since the age of 14, was Van Morrison's guitar player by 17 and at 21 an accomplished studio musician. Playing guitar on other peoples records was not enough. John decided to learn how to write songs. After years of home demos and strange music jobs, John was feeling that perhaps nothing could happen. Then in the fall of 2000, James Taylor called him to tell him that he was planning to record John's song, "September Grass" for his newest CD. The CD, with "September Grass" as the first cut, came out in 2002. It quickly went platinum. James then recorded "Bittersweet" another of John's tunes and released it on "The Best of James Taylor" (which also went platinum).
Through it all John has been playing gigs in New England for a small but growing group of devoted fans. A master guitarist, songwriter and performer, John often works wih other musicians to put on a show that is rhythmic, infectious, and often cathartic.
