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 a banner year; as of Oct 1 I am at 72 performances and 25 more dates on the calendar, I am well on my way to meeting my goal of 100 shows this year! I list my events on the John Ivey Band Facebook page with maps and venue contact information
