ROCK: Acoustic, POP: Quirky
Details:
JOHN TROWER (guitar, vocals, occasional bass & keyboards) of St.
Louis, MO has been writing, recording, and performing songs for over
20 years. He is best known as a member of ''80''s/''90''s
alternative rock band THE BEERS. Other bands included ''80''s cover
band THE INDEPENDENTS.
During this time, Trower also released a number of solo albums. His
latest cd, "The Best of Unplugged", is a strictly acoustic affair. The cd is
available on https://www.tradebit.com. Trower describes the sound as "mellow acoustic
alternapop demented ditties" in a similar vein as Syd Barrett or
Gordon Gano.
Joe Records calls the cd, "incredibly heartfelt" while Wild Oats
Records finds it, "interesting-unlike a whole lot of stuff these
days". Ex-Reprobate calls Trower''s music "acoustic" and "fun" and
compares it to "old Violent Femmes stuff." https://www.tradebit.com
says, "This young artist has a lengthy repertoire that features raw,
honest lyrics with only a 6 and 12 string guitar. Proving he doesn''t
need a band to back him up, Trower lets us into his life with honest
lyrics and an introspective style of playing". Turk''s Head Review
calls Trower an "avant genius" & "a mystical heir to the Syd Barrett
mode of songcraft" and calls ''Unplugged'' a "magnum opus of radical
introspection". Sponic Zine says "John obviously has songwriting
talent" with "thoughtful lyrics". Phase 9 says, "Trower brings out
the subject more by his effective guitar playing". Trower
fan/musician Ronnie Henry calls Trower, "a very good rhythm
guitarist" while another fan calls Trower''s music "very powerful
stuff" with "great guitar". RoundSound says, "Comparison to Jonathan
Richman seems obvious, but there is also a link to some of Neil
Young''s most quirky songs."
Trower''s song "Engaged" hit #14 and "Brighter Day" hit #15 on
https://www.tradebit.com''s Folk chart.
Trower''s song, "I Will Be There", is featured on Online Rock''s
compilation cd, Rock for America,which benefits the United Way''s
Sept. 11th fund.
Trower has performed solo at Kennedy''s and The Pony Expresso in St.
Louis.
