- Growing up in Mt. Pulaski Illinois, at the age of 13, Singer and Songwriter John Schlitt joined a local band called "Vinegar Hills Hometown Band Something Different". After graduating from high school, Schlitt enrolled in the University of Illinois, earning a degree in Civil Engineering. However with his main interest in music, he joined the rock band "Head East" in 1972, going on to having such hits as "Since You Been Gone", and "Love Me Tonight". In 1980, John was fired from the band due to his drug dependency, and his career stalled... Until one day receiving a call from guitarist Bob Hartman asking if he'd be interested in becoming the lead singer for the Christian Rock Group "Petra". Over the next three decades, the band went on to release 20 studio albums, as well as two Spanish-language and two live albums, selling nearly 10 million copies while being nominated for 13 Grammy Awards, winning four, and winning 10 Dove Awards.
John shares his musical gypsy journey, how he became a Christian, along with his new solo projects he's working, and getting ready for Petra's 50th Anniversary tour.
