02 / Stage + Music
The room changes when it is live.
Theatre, the piano, and the written song are not side projects. They are part of the same creative life—and another way into character.
Stage / Presence
From Hollywood theatre to Andrew Carnes in Tulsa.

Singer. Songwriter. Piano player.
Nashville taught John how songs move from a room into the world. That musical foundation still shapes his timing, listening, phrasing, and the way he enters a role.
