Kevin McKendree on keys is a whole mood at the Troubadour. 🎹✨Percy Mayfield classic.

Got to sing one of my favorites “Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee” on The Broken Record Pod! This one was written back in 2020 out in Colorado with my good friend Joe Henry. What started out as a tribute to this legendary blues duo morphed into an anthem about kindness and understanding for all!

Baby, tell me what needs mending ❤️‍🩹

“A Ways Away”, live at The Troubadour with the Good Road Band.

John joined the Broken Record Pod to talk about music, songwriting, and the new album. Full episode: youtu.be/CCNDOqtHqEo

"Enough is Enough" live from the Troubadour in LA! Such a fun one to perform!

Time in nature, cooking at home, and moments with the people I love. That’s how I fill my cup ☕️ What about you? #FillMyCup

I loved getting to recut “Walking in Memphis” and add a bit of an EDM twist to it with Grabbitz for my album OATES.

“Bajo La Luz De La Luna” was written for Gringa, an independent film by a friend of mine. It was a fun one to write and captures the essence of young love on a beach in Mexico.

I'm a big bossanova fan, so that's where I drew a lot of inspiration for, "Dreamin About Brazil" from. So grateful to have the talented Wendy Moten lend her incredible vocals to this track!

“Get Your Smile On” had a unique songwriting process. I loved partnering with Teen Cancer America and Play It Back Songs on the music video for this one, it’s been so special to see this song touch the lives of so many people!

We all know what it feels like to be a little “Disconnected.” That’s what this song is about. Give it a listen, and tell me what it means to you.

This one means a lot to me. “A Ways Away” is one of my favorite songs on OATES, and performing it on my recent tour was a true highlight. 🎥 @getonvolume.bsky.social

We all hit walls in life. “Pushin’ A Rock” is my take on finding the strength to keep going. I hope it gives you a little fuel when you need it most. ✌🏼👊🏼

“World Gone Wrong” came from imagining how empty life would be without my family. That feeling is at the heart of this song.

When table conversation turns into a jam… always a blast hanging with Lawrence.

“Let Me Be The One” is a simple song in the best way. The process just flowed so naturally, and writing it with Ron Artis made it even more special. Hope you all check it out.

The stars of your new favorite sitcom 🤩 Who’s tuning in?

Funny how even the songwriting process itself can be an inspiration for the song. ✨ “A Ways Away” is out now on my new album Oates! What track should we dive into next? And don’t miss it, I’ll be going live on @youtube this Friday at 12pm PT to share a live performance of the song.

Richard Butler still doing what he does best. The band was tight, the crowd was locked in, and “Heaven” felt like exactly that.

Been leaving love notes around the house with lyrics from “Real Thing Going On” Tag the one you’ve got a real thing going on with in the comments. You know the one 😉

A little acoustic "Real Thing Going On" for you, thanks so much for all the love on this one so far! Go give it a listen if you haven't yet!
