John MacLean is inspired by Cliff Eberhardtl, Kate Campbell, Townes Van Zandt, John Prine, Springsteen, and the memory of his mother singing along with her AM car radio. When he heard the great Texan George Brown sing Pancho and Lefty, John had to learn how to play; George taught him how. Other seminal influences include The Bank Street Band - Baltimore's finest! - Dick Pleasants, and Seth Connelly. John is a long way from his Baltimore hometown but "Letters Home" starts there and "Quiet Fire" continues the journey.

Of special note is SAMW, a wonderful summer home for music lovers. Live music venues are cautiously reopening, John hopes to see you when he's singing out again, and he hopes you'll support these spcial places - including buying their food and drink. Especially now, music-loving owners need youur help to pay their bills! And don't forget that these are challenging times politically as well as medically, so stay involved and make a difference. Both the music and political scenes need you to be active!
