John Foley is a musician and Music Therapist who has performed across the US and Canada. After years of Rock & Roll bands he began working as accompanist for Oscar Brand, sharing stages with Pete Seeger, Arlo Guthrie, Odetta, Richie Havens and many others. Recordings include Rock & Roll, Folk songs, children’s music and educational programming for the Smithsonian Institute, the BBC and The Canadian Broadcasting Co.

'Bruce Springsteen once wrote, 'I swear I found the Secret to the Universe / in the engine of an old parked car'. Well, I didn’t do that but I did look into an old comic drinking song and found the ancient roots of a major religious belief system. And I realized that, from a neurological standpoint, playing music is the closest you can get to tickling yourself. You may have seen someone crunch Wint-O-Green LifeSaver candies in a dark room to produce sparks but you might not know how that phenomenon can apply to amplifying guitars.' ' There’s a story h
