BIOGRAPHY

John Featherstone

 

John Featherstone is a guitarist, singer, composer, and arranger based in Paris.

He loves to juxtapose classical and contemporary modes in his performances, which go from solo concerts to a cross-over work for two choirs and contemporary chamber group, and all stations in between.

He tours mainly in Europe but his music also has a following in the French West Indies, Africa and Quebec.

John has recorded 12 CDs of his own music and his collaborative work is extensive: arranging performing and producing for others.

Performance contexts include the Zenith at Strasbourg, Bercy stadium, Clermont Opera House, various French and UK cathedral venues, and the Albert Hall in London, as well as small halls, prisons, bars, and people's front rooms.

John is currently co-writing a musical on the future of the planet.

Having had a hand made 7-string guitar built for him by Andy Manson in 2006 he is exploring how much can be said without words, and his current tour and latest CD 'RESONANCE' is based around his 7-string instrumental repertoire.

In addition to his concert and composition work, he is collaborating in Paris with Crescendo, and La Fonderie, two Christian arts movements.
