“Up & comer John Michael Lind (JML) is a beautiful cross between Jimmy Buffett and Blue Rodeo. His versions of great, often little-known, songs by legends like Lightfoot, Dylan, Waits, Cash and more, are true to the spirit of the originals and infused with JML soul. He drives his booming Tinker guitar like a locomotive, chugging up the hills and high-balling on the straights, while his voice wails like that lonesome whistle. You gotta check this guy out!” With over a decade of touring Canada & Europe, playing everything from street performances to music festivals, alt-country/roots performer John Michael Lind creates deep audience connection. His simple brand of “Alt-Country, Played Well” riding upon his driving guitar work and sweet tenor voice, delivers JML’s tender original songs and great cover versions, from heroes like Steve Earle, John Prine and Gordon Lightfoot, straight from his heart to yours. JML’s long and varied experience in jobs ranging from skate sharpener, to ditch-digger, movie-maker, corporate office drone, and truck driver, gives him a keen perspective, transforming his experiences into songs and performances everyone can truly enjoy and connect with. JML’s Juno-ready album “Lightning Rod” is on streaming platforms everywhere.
