John Fishell on Living On Music

Alexandria-based singer/songwriter/guitarist and music producer John Fishell's formal classical training occasionally pokes through into his musical presence, as does his professional experience with jazz and world music. But John will ultimately carry the heavy rock to you, and all you need to do is dig on it. While studying music in college, NEA Jazz Master David Liebman recruited John to record a big band album, and this relationship led to John engineering various albums with other future NEA Jazz Masters including Jon Hendricks, Jimmy Cobb, Jack DeJohnette, Dave Holland, and Billy Hart. The 2002 Dave Liebman Big Band album John worked on called 'Beyond the Line' was Grammy-nominated in the “Best Instrumental Arrangement” category. Alongside being a traveling music production and recording college instructor until recently, John has produced a live studio album and written previous songs, but most recently released the single "Carolina California" which made the top 40 on the Mediabase chart. He will be touring in the UK this year and elsewhere.
