After 10 years as
frontman for Petra, John ventured forth with his first
solo album, "SHAKE," in 1995. Amidst rumors of his
leaving Petra, it was made perfectly clear that John not
only would remain with Petra, but that he was fully
capable of pursuing a solo career simultaneously – a
feat no other lead singer in the Christian industry had
ever attempted. John not only made the attempt - but he
excelled at it.
Following closely on the heels of "SHAKE," "UNFIT FOR
SWINE" made its debut in 1996. A very diverse album
musically, "SWINE" showcases John’s versatility as a
vocalist, with elements of alternative and modern rock
in a surprising blend that rages with intensity and
drive.
Now, after more than 10 years, John is back with his
third solo album, "THE GRAFTING," released in 2008. "THE
GRAFTING" has elements of his rock roots, but
concentrates as much on the lyrical content as the
music, covering mature-themed topics such as adoption,
divorce, third world children, and other issues in
today’s adult world.
