Who Hit John?
Who Hit John? have been
performing, jamming and busking around
southwest Michigan since 2006. They've brought their
energetic and
original old time sound to bars, basements, street corners,
concert
halls - Anywhere they can get folks stompin', singin' and
clappin'.
Joined together by a love for acoustic music and its
vibrant scene in
Michigan, this derelict group of misfits are intent on
taking the
world by storm, one song at a time.
Whether kicking out rawkus fiddle tunes, dirty and greasy
southern
blues, or high and lonesome bluegrass serenades, Who Hit
John? keep
the home fires burning, carrying on the tradition of
American roots
music. All five members write and sing, providing a wealth
of material
and influences. Who Hit John? always bring audiences
something
exciting and new.
The band was formed by Nick "Hamdog" Vander Vliet on
mandolin, Kris
"Will DoLittle" Kehn on guitar, and Daniel "Catfish"
McCartney on
banjo and slide guitar. Shortly thereafter, Nathan "Django
Watley"
Dannison joined on fiddle, harmonica and jaw harp. The
fresh-faced
foursome went through a slew of bass players, before
meeting recording
engineer and mutli-instrumentalist Ian "Dr. Hoot" Gorman
while mixing
their debut CD, Old Gray Road.
With their lineup now solidified, Who Hit John? is booking
massive
amounts of gigs and selling hand made copies of Old Gray
Road like
hotcakes, with a new CD due this summer. They plan to
continue
writing, recording and playing shows as long as the Gods of
Old Time
Music allow. Hopefully, well past last call.
