ohn Steam Jr. mixes intelligent, introspective songwriting with a high sing-along factor and a deep-rooted fascination for desert-dusty and Nashville/Tennessee sounds in a fundamentally likeable way. This fits just as well in the embroidered DIY store as it does between the chicken coop and the tractor or on the big club or festival stage. Support shows for Joey Cape, Frank Turner, Larry and his Flask, Rosco Wuestewald, Meadows and many more have shown that with JSJR, a well-tempered cocktail of pop, punk and country is mixed together between acoustic guitar and hat and served with charm, humor and disarming honesty.
""...You might think that enough is enough with all the artists who (...) turn their innermost self outwards and do so - naturally - in the form of a singer/songwriter record. (...) Virtuoso on the guitar, rhythmic and melodic, tender in voice and sometimes harsh in expression, John Steam Jr. proves almost throughout "Anywhere But Here" that there is still room for more in this musical genre." - OX Magazine
""...the song material is excellent, there is something valuable to discover here for open ears.""" - Folker Magazine (Online)
""...John Steam Jr. took the classic path from hardcore kid to punk rock singer/songwriter. "Anywhere But Here" is his first real album - DIY from front to back."" - Visions Magazine #140
