John Fullbright is one of the most exciting singer-songwriters to emerge this decade. His astonishing debut (Grammy-nominated) album 'From The Ground Up' features original songs bursting with a musical and lyrical prowess. His songs capture an America not heard on disc for a very long time and conjure up an authenticity that recalls all the greats.


Born in Woody Guthrie’s hometown of Okemah, Oklahoma, he grew up surrounded by a rich musical heritage. He started playing the piano at 5 and learned to play guitar at the legendary Blue Door eventually supporting Joe Ely and Jimmy Webb. In December 2012, Jimmy Webb presented John with the prestigious ASCAP Harold Adamson Lyric Writing Award, calling John “one of the best writers I have heard in a long, long time.” Earlier that year, John was also invited to sing for the Chuck Berry Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Tribute. He has since been seen in the UK on Later With Jools Holland.


'From the Ground Up' is a lyrically diverse, genre-spanning collection of memorable songs with staggering depth and promise. His voice smoulders and his songs catch fire. It is that all too rare creature: an album to cherish and admire. John co-produced the album with Wes Sharon (Doobie Brothers, Gregg Allman) and plays piano, guitar, harmonica and organ. Special guests include Terry ‘Buffalo’ Ware and Andrew Hardin on guitar, and Fats Kaplan on violin and steel guitar.
