"A one man wolf pack"Flag Live, Flagstaff, AZ.
"Right On John is a one man wonder. Playing solo among a whole band's worth of instruments, John (last name McColley) wields some howlin', high energy blues and down-home, tambourine-timed rock'n' roll. His deep, twangy sounds are calculated but beautifully crude. Be sure to get a good look at ROJ's slide skills on the subverso fiddle."Willamette Week, Portland, OR.
"He describes himself as a one man vaudeville songwriter.as far as the instruments that he plays, well, here are just a few: acoustic guitar, semi-hollow body electric guitar, subverso fiddle, drums, stompbox, harmonica and vocals.
And yes, he plays it all by himself, calling to duty every limb (usually at the same time) to create a thick, rootsy sound.
Creating a full sound on your own without a slew of pedal loops, samplers, and other contraptions is no easy task. How does ROJ do it?
"Duct tape has a lot to do with it."
Also of note is ROJ's penchant for all things humorous, citing various comedians-including the late, great Bill Hicks and Fort Wayne favorite George Carlin-as some of his biggest heroes and influences. This connection to whip-smart social commentators not only adds to ROJ's music, but also to his one-of-a-kind personality."
