John Lennon Song Contest and Billboard Song Contest Honoree John McDermot is a US based Irish musician. Although a singer-songwriter, the label doesn't quite fit. He is as likely to use a cranked up Les Paul, (John is an accomplished guitarist versed in several styles), samples, or a drum machine, as he is an acoustic guitar. Whatever fits. John has been a musician as long as he can remember, (he rocked his primary school concert as an 8 year old with Elvis tunes), and has played for audiences in Ireland, England, Germany and the USA. Whether busking on an Irish street corner, or playing the San Francisco club scene, it's all the same to John. He is also a studio engineer and has his own studio where he mixes analog and digital gear to produce his own unique sound. An early demo of his song Collide won an honorable mention at the John Lennon Song Writing Contest. He had number one songs on mp3.com back in the day, and his song "Moorings" was song of the day on Garageband.com.
