About John Meeks
In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail.
I remember being about 5 years old, listening to Elvis Presley's "Aloha from Hawaii via Satellite" on my mom's record player. Emotionally moved by songs like "An American Trilogy" and "See See Rider."
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular?
Bob Dylan, Desire
Lee Hazlewood, Cowboy in Sweden (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)
Miles Davis, Sketches of Spain
These albums are an escapist's dream. Dylan's songwriting can't be beat. And all of these records transport me to imaginary far off exotic lands and time periods that are full of emotional and intellectual adventure.

“Oh Dry Land”
This is one of the few songs I've written that I feel holds up after many years. I like the sounds we created, and the imagery of the character dying from a lack of true love. All the while knowing it exists everywhere around him, just out of reach.
What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far?
Playing a record release show to a (small) packed house and having most of the crowd sing along to one of my songs.
Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band?
I would like to bring Tom Petty back to life and tour the world opening for him and The Heartbreakers. May never happen I know, but a guy can dream.
