With guitar in hand, John Allred left his life-long home of West Hartford, Connecticut and headed westward in search of a new life and a new solo career. John’s mother, a music teacher, introduced him to the piano at age of three. Performing elevated into a way of life for John since he won a high school talent show with his childhood friend. After John captivated the Northeast with his intoxicating melodies, this rolling stone itched to sing under new skies. In Utah, John dedicated his being to writing and recording an acoustic EP. Unexpectedly rerouted, four months later he emerged from the studio and onto the west coast music scene with a groundbreaking LP album, a sophisticated sound and an astoundingly cohesive full band.
