John Sanger

Mark SwansonI just love to play for others, to perform and bring music into others lives. To get to play and do that which I have practiced and worked at all my life and see it bring joy to another is fulfilling to me. And I try to bring that spirit and pass it along through every song and at every show I play.I play a variety of things you might expect from one guy and a guitar. I have done this for quite some time and to keep myself fresh I tend to play things others do not, so expect some familiar things and some things that you may not have heard before, some hidden gems!
