John Witherspoon is a singer/songwriter chiefly inspired by icons
Dylan, Paul Simon and The Beatles. His process is strictly old-school, a
principal on which his 2020 album "Showin' Up Startin Again' stands
so firmly. The Merseyside artist released four singles in 2016 under the name Flynn's Piece, produced by Tony Draper at Liverpool's legendary Parr Street Studios. The guitar-laden sounds of 90's stars Oasis, Blur, early Coldplay, Stereophonics and Cast would inform John's early work, and remain influential now. In 2018 Witherspoon wrote the
songs that would become "Showin" Up.," and the debut LP was
produced and mixed by Alec Brits at The Cabin, also in Liverpool.
Bolstered by the brilliance of top session guitarist Scott Poley and
keyboardist Henry Burnett, single releases saw Witherspoon draw
sizeable crowds. After another intense writing period in summer 2020,
he returned to The Cabin, where work on album number two is
ongoing
