Welcome to my music web site. I'm John Zimmerman, and perform as a one man band. Through the use of automation and electronics, I sound like a four piece group. My music covers many styles: Rock, Country, Blues, Standards and Originals. It is suitable for many occasions - dinner dances, wedding receptions, and parties.

When performing, I sing, play guitar, the keyboard, and use a special computer for the drum and bass patterns. I have over 200 songs in my repertoire - most are from the 50's, 60's and 70's.

About

ABOUT

I grew up in the 1950s, the decade that heralded the birth of rock and roll. I would fall asleep at night to the sounds of the radio playing such old hits as Sweet Little Sixteen, Peggy Sue, and Hound Dog. This may have been a form of sleep teaching, and instilled in me a sense of rhythm and feel for rock music that is as natural as walking or talking.This love of music prompted me to learn the guitar and keyboard. I then went on to play with a number of bands: The Invictas, The Plague Ltd., The Heard, The Willy K Trio Plus One, and Rockin Horse, to name a few. In the 1960s, the groups I was in performed with such greats as Them, The Yardbirds, The Hollies, and The Dave Clark Five. During the 1970s, 80s and 90s, I performed with groups that catered to fraternal organizations (Moose, Elks, etc.). I did this while being responsible for a full time career and a family.In 2003, I retired from a career in information technology, providing the time to pursue my musical passions without the distractions of a full time job. My emphasis is to be able to perform a wide variety of music that just about everyone will enjoy. This includes classic rock, country, blues, folk, and standards.To create this sound, I use automation and electronics. A special automated backing device provides drums, bass, and rhythm instrumentation. I play the guitar and keyboard to provide the melody to the music. I do the vocals and use a special device to add harmony where appropriate. On a final note (no pun intended), I am also focused on creating my own music. I have written a number of songs over the past three decades, and am now in a position to concentrate more on giving musical expression to my feelings and emotions.
