John Ivey was born in the Midwest and has lived in Australia, Hawaii, California and the Pacific North West. This blend of cultures is reflected in the stylistic diversity of the music that he writes. A self-taught guitar and harmonica player, John’s upbeat music and introspective lyrical style has been described as “Jack Johnson meets 90’s rock.” John received some formal teaching in music theory at UCLA, but for the majority of his knowledge of music comes from playing with many talented musicians over the years.
This year, John is on track to perform over 100 shows at Southern Oregon’s Wineries, Taverns and Lodges. John performs as a solo artist and as the front and lead guitar for his power-trio band “The John Ivey Band.”
2024 has been an amazing year so far! As of Nov 2, I am have had 80 performances this year with 18 more dates on the calendar, I am well on my way to meeting my goal of 100 shows this year! I also post my shows as “events” on the John Ivey Band Facebook page with maps and venue contact information
Hi Friend! Let’s meet at Oberon’s at 6PM on Friday evening in Ashland. My last 2 shows here were so fun! I have some great new originals to mix in with some great cover tunes. Oberon’s is a vibrant spot, full of energy. Get crafted drinks in the Shakespearean themed cocktail bar or enjoy the delicious food in the adjoining restaurant. Need some fun? Me too! … Let’s get together and play!
I am making a return appearance at this popular Talent watering-hole November 15 5-7:00PM
Trium is an artist’s dream to play; it is a small intimate venue where people come to listen to the music. As a performer, I respond to the energy in the room and shows like this can be epic!
