A Busy Spring

Studio time is booked, and I'm over here gently hammering away at my remington monarch and acoustic guitar for whatever may come. Lots of happenings to share.

I contributed an unreleased instrumental track from the Departure Nocturne sessions to Songs Not Bombs Vol 2, to help raise support for the Palestinian Children's Relief Fund. The album features many artists I enjoy, including Billy Bragg, Adeem The Artist & Jeffrey Martin.

I also had the honor of playing guitar on "The More You Say, The Less It Means" on John Moreland's new album Visitor.

I encourage you to check out both albums.

A few solo shows are coming up in April, and I'm also heading out to accompany a slew of grand songwriters, to keep the spirit alive.

4/12 - Secret Studio, Columbus OH

4/20 - El Bosque Sencillo @ Wits End, Austin TX

4/27 - St Cecilia's Listening Room, Tulsa OK

New UK headline shows added

United Kingdom, happy to say I’ve added two more intimate solo shows for February 2024.

I’ll be supporting and playing with the good folks of @wildchildsounds throughout UK and Netherlands in January.

Ben Kweller shows, featuring JCA on guitar and keys

I’m stoked to have had the joyous honor of joining Ben Kweller and his band on electric guitars and keyboards for his ACL Festival sets, and dates to celebrate the 20th anniversary of his memorable, magical album, Sha Sha. It’s been a pleasure to share the stage with rhythm section extraordinaire Ryan Dean and Christopher Mintz-Plasse, not to mention the otherworldly addition of Heartbreaker Mike Campbell sitting in on a couple songs with us in LA, along with Alex Greenwald and Jason Schwartzman from Phantom Planet joining us to play “California”. A dream of a night!

Thank you to everyone who came out and lent an ear on last month's quick run into the foothills of the Ozarks and the Thirty-Five Corridor. It was a joy to play some solo shows, and to see you all.

As always, thanks for listening. I look forward to seeing you along the way.

John
