June heralded the release of John’s seventh studio project titled “Quintessential”. It was the quest to express, through music, what is pure and essential in life. Perhaps it’s in the love and peace of “Home”, in the comfort of listening to the “Midnight Moon”, or maybe it’s in finding joy in “Blue Sunny Skies.” There is a definite departure from John’s earlier style and a fresh new take on his sincere and authentic music, showing off his blooming relationship with producer Kevin McNoldy of Cphonic Mastering.
