A member of The Chromatics, this year's musical guest of honor. As the bass-baritone and vocal percussionist, John composes unique ditties that make you think, laugh, and go "huh?" Some have even been performed at the Maryland Renaissance Festival by men in tights. Others are sung with gusto by the Chromatics, including Cowboy Chant, Science of Love, and Before You Sing with more always on the way. John's style can be best characterized as Frank Zappa meets the Swingles Singers.
