MP3 John Gignoux - Last Hippie Standing

This was the first bit of music I had ever recorded using computer software. Everything up to this point I had recorded old school(analog) on reel to reel tape. I wrote the songs, performed the vocals & guitars/keyboards.

Details:
John Gignouxâs contemporary compositions are an eclectic mix of unique melodies and thought provoking lyrics. His musical journey has spanned 30 years, from playing guitar, piano and songwriting to recording in his studio. Although influenced by bands of the 1960âs, Gignoux was inspired by the songwriters of the 1970âs.

Gignouxâs first release, âthe Broadway Boysâ was favorably reviewed in Keyboard Magazine while Progressive Music Encyclopedia (PME.com) proclaimed: âCalifornia Genius undiscovered, AOR/progressive one-man-show, reminds me of Todd Rundgrenâ¦..heâs got a wicked sense of humorâ¦â¦reminds me of Eno and Sparks collaborating on a van Dyke Parks record.â

The National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences Committee placed Gignoux on the Official Ballot for the 2007 Grammy Awards in the categories of Record of the Year, Song of the Year and Best Male Pop Vocal Performance for his composition, âThe Landingâ from his album âDining At Horizonsâ.

Gignoux enjoys writing and recording music and continues to share that experience with others.
