JohnMoss began as an independent side project in 2008, as guitarist/vocalist Andrew John Moss Hannig attended Baylor University. Out of a desire to engage difficult discussions within navigating humanity and faith, the first album Sunsets on the Ground was released (2008). Five hundred years later (actually 8), the idea for his sophomore album Love Reform (2016) came about from a simple question of "what would it look like to actually love and care for those around us." Love Reform became a testing ground for action. In regards to this movement and action, family/friends/fans alike have stated that "JohnMoss consistently produces music that pushes the comfort out of the way" to engage tough conversations within humanity, faith, and relationships"
