Born and raised in Northern California,
John's musical roots include classical training in piano and saxophone, informal
training in jam-based rock gleaned from years of following experimental psychedelic rock
acts such as the Grateful Dead, Phish, Zero and Jambay, and 15 years of
songwriting and solo performing in
the San Francisco Bay Area and San Diego.
During a 7 year stint in San Diego, John co-founded the area's premier jam-rock
band Oversoul, playing an eclectic mix of psychedelic rock, country, folk,
and bluegrass. Over the years, John's arsenal of instrumental abilities has grown
to include lap steel guitar, dobro, mandolin, banjo, and even a touch of fiddle.
Through the years, John's diverse experience and abilities have led him to share
stages with acts like Lucinda Williams, Fishbone, Ben Harper, Merl Saunders, Zero, 311, the Greyboy
Allstars, and more. John brings his expertise on guitar and steel guitar as well as
a smooth high tenor and over a decade's worth of original material to King Harvest.
John is also the webmaster for this site, so feel free to keep your nasty comments
to yourselves and email all your praise and adoration to
John@JohnMcG.com. I promise fame. no fortune.
John McCain is a self taught drummer raised in the belly of the southeast,
North Carolina. John's upbringing on blues and rock gave him the
appreciation of idolized drummers such as John Bonham, Stuart Copeland,
and Bill Bruford. As other peers hit the books, John experienced expansion
through jazz and progressive rock. Upon moving to California, John
found self realization in the warmness and feel of groove. John is on the
never ending search for the deeper pocket, the higher consciouness of the zen
of drumming.
Daniel got his 'road legs' in the east coast's
acclaimed jam-band Blue Miracle Blue Miracle spent several years
touring constantly throughout the East and the South, earning their stripes
as road-tested working musicians. Daniel blows a smokin' harp and lays
down everything from powerful B-3 organ swells to smooth Rhodes grooves
to rollicking piano riffs. Daniel's textural diversity fills out the
King Harvest sound and pushes the energy envelope, driving the band to
new levels of performance. |
