About John Calvin
1) ”The tireless, 20-year-old singer/songwriter and spry chieftain of guitar, piano and percussion originally hails from Sierra Hills, Nevada. Now an OU student and self-proclaimed Normanite, Calvin creates a myriad style, from classic rock, motown grooves, and David Crosby-inspired tunes, to jazz and ambient soundscapes that mesh with folk themes reminiscent of the sixties. His lyrics hint at subtle political radicalism while reflecting on life’s insecurities, love’s ideologies, and insomnia. Having rocked in the cradle to Bob Dylan’s croons next to a folk guitarist father, it’s safe to say John Calvin’s heart literally pumps melody. Calvin owes his sound to many of life's experiences, but also to the solos of John Coltrane, the songs of CSNY, Elliot Smith, Radiohead’s Thom Yorke and Johnny Greenwood and the grooves of Jamie Lidell, along with local musicians from Norman to Denton including Early Beat and Midlake." His first EP is entitled, "Walls of the City EP". He has another album coming out in April 2010. His music also be found on Myspace at http://www.myspace.com/jcabney 2) English name version of theologian Jean Calvin
