John Welton is always a crowd pleaser because he makes himself one with the crowd. The desire to create powerful, life- or even world-changing music is the driving force behind every song John has ever written. This includes both serious 'message' lyrics, and those songs that are written to make people smile or laugh in the moment. John's live performances always include impromptu comedic moments spurred by his close and caring attention to his audience. He includes his listeners in a fashion that just plain makes them feel good about themselves - - and about the world. His goal is to generate musical experiences that take the listeners on a journey through the "ocean of emotions" to arrive at their destination together feeling as though they have all received a dose of musical medicine.

John Welton is living in Canton, Ohio. He is currently performing with Waterband – an internationally acclaimed musical act with a folkadelicfunkpop attitude.
