John Dendy is a songwriter in the tradition of Bob Dylan, Tom Waits, Lucinda Williams, John Prine, and Townes van Zandt, but he's not as old as they are.

He plays his songs on upright bass or guitar, boiling a substantial, punk-seasoned stew of folk, blues, country, and jazz. He is often accompanied by Clay Scott on violin.

His lyrics are smart, edgy, and sometimes irreverent. Their internal and slanted rhyme even betrays a rap influence, in structure if not in content.

John grew up in Alabama, went to school in Misissippi, and has been in Montana for 13 years. He dropped out of grad school in both chemical engineering and philosophy, pursuing instead a career in authenticity.
