JAVA NOTES Concert Series is proud to present John Smith!  Opening up for Johnsmith is local musician Mark Croft! 

Johnsmith's performance will benefit Luke House 

Whenever you read or hear about the music of Johnsmith, certain watchwords always come up, regardless of the source. Words like uplifting, or integrity, heart, or soul. His songs and voice go straight to the heart, because that’s where they come from.

John was born into a rural eastern Iowa, large Irish Catholic family of ten kids. Pursuing a life of music has led him far from his small town roots. After a short college stint in southern California, a couple years on an organic hippie farm in Iowa, and a few years in Colorado, he now resides along the upper Mississippi in western Wisconsin.

Over two decades of performing festivals, concert halls, coffeehouses, colleges, and house concerts, along with a half dozen acclaimed CDs, Johnsmith has built a solid fan base in the US and abroad.

Johnsmith has walked down the roads that made him whole, and when he brings that onstage, he connects with folks. He calls himself a blue collar songwriter, banging out his tunes along the back roads one show at a time.

Someone’s voice is not just an instrument; it’s more like the sound of their soul. It’s a connection thing that moves us. As a solo performer Johnsmith totally opens up and bares his genuine self on stage. Night after night, CD after CD, he brings it all on full heart. Fellow songwriter Buddy Mondlock best sums it up:

" I feel like every time one of Johnsmith’s songs gets heard a little healing happens to the world."

When are shows are held at The Brink Lounge, their bar and menu are available for purchase.  The proceeds from admissions will go to the partner organization of the evening. 

Java Notes has selected The Outreach Center as the non-profit organization for the third season.  The Outreach Center's mission is to promote equality and quality of life for LGBT people.  Their vision is to create a community where the presence and contributions of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender people are welcomed and celebrated; where intolerance is challenged and defeated; where justice prevails; and where civil rights of all people are valued and respected.
