In the 1960s and early 1970s, before he gained international notoriety playing organ in the jazz fusion band Niacin with Billy Sheehan and Dennis Chambers, he was in Erie playing in bands like the Jades, Symon Grace & The Tuesday Blues, and CJ Bri. John’s now 74, and in addition to music, he’s an author and a personal development mentor.
