John Ivey

2023-2025 saw John Ivey perform 250 shows at Southern Oregon’s Wineries, Taverns and Lodges. John performs as a solo artist and as the vocalist and lead guitar for both the duo and trio versions of “The John Ivey Band.”

Born in the Midwest and having lived in Australia, Hawaii, California and the Pacific North West, the stylistic diversity of the music that he writes is reflected in this blend of cultures and experiences.  A self-taught guitar and harmonica player, John’s upbeat music has been described as “Jack Johnson meets 90’s rock and his introspective lyrical style described as “reassuring and hopeful.” John received some formal teaching in music theory at UCLA, but the majority of his knowledge of music comes from playing with many talented musicians over the years.
